Literally takes my husband 30-45 minutes to get ready to leave the house. I usually am able to get myself ready my our toddler ready to go in the same time.

My husband is the same. It’s actually quicker and easier to get out of the house without him. I’ll sort myself/toddler/dogs in the time it takes him to shower!

He tells me that I take forever to get ready and then waits until I’m completely done to start himself! I hate being late to things, so it’s a constant frustration because I can’t time my own departure.

and the baby! I get us ready

I’m the one who takes longer to get ready 🫣

My husband is so fast getting himself ready.
The hard part for both of us is getting everything we need for all 3 kids ready. I also take forever to get myself ready.

My husband is quick but then I’m doing everything and it takes me forever because I’m doing myself and the kids stuff all at once while he does something random like vacuums a corner 🤣 💀

If he’s just getting dressed and he says 5 minutes, it’s 5 minutes. If he’s getting dressed and he has a “quick email” to respond to, it’s 45 lol

I’ll get everyone and myself ready, even lay out his stuff. He waits until we’re ready then says he “just has to put his boots on”, but wanders around, gets dressed, uses the bathroom, and usually runs off and leaves half of the things he needs to take (keys, wallet, etc.) so I have to remind him when he gets to the car or we’ll have to turn around and be even later 🤦♀️

I ask if he’a ready and he’ll tell me, I inly need 5 minutes to change. I ask are you sure? he says yes. So I start getting out LO’s shoes on. Meanwhile he starts to brush his teeth, clip is nails, shave his beard , steaming his shirt, and then he can’t find his sunglasses phone and wallet😅

Ages and he’s usually on the freaking toilet
This morning I got the dog ready, got the baby ready, got the toddler ready, got myself ready, and got all the stuff ready. He finally came down and we were both loading stuff into the car (me wearing his Birkenstocks bc I hadn’t had time to put my own shoes on yet). Kids are finally in and he goes ‘uh why are you wearing those’ 🙈🙈🙈

If I want to be on time 30 minutes if he wants to be on time 5 minutes

this sounds like my husband too 😂😂😂 my husband randomly starts cleaning or doing push ups and I’m like really 🤔 you coulda done this before.

oh Kristen we’ve got the same man! 😂 i get frustrated to my core

Its not him getting ready, but him prepping the house for us leaving and cleaning the sink n emptying dishwasher n putting away clothes so if we home late, he doesn’t have to do it then 🤣🤣🤣

I tell me OH we have to be places 15 mins before we do because he thinks it's acceptable to be late for anything and everything, it's embarrassing!

I'm at the door and he's like, lemme go shower real quick. I'm exaggerating a little but still 😡
So I end up doing other things and he thinks I'm the one making us late.

I take the longest. So he’ll get himself and the kids ready, and usually wait for me lol. Sometimes they’re in the car waiting for me

omg. Yes! My husband one time started mulching the backyard 5 minutes before a dinner party that he initiated! Why?? Why??
I also recall vacuuming our unfinished basement before his parents got here. Nobody goes down there.

I tell my husband 30-45 minutes earlier then we actually have to be there. We are usually still 15 minutes late lol
