Ask:
We've talked about how our lovely dhs are in denial. Well, as with many men, mine just doesn't listen!! I've worked so hard to get ds the therapies and help he needs, without making him feel "different".
So, today, ds was acting goofy, as always, and was talking weirdly. DH heard him and said, "Stop. Do you want to end up in speech therapy?" I told him quietly to stop, as he IS is speech therapy! DH proceeds to tell me he didn't know....Ummmm...What do I discuss? I discussed it when it started, I discuss the homework they send home, I discuss his progress. Then, he said he doesn't understand why ds needs it, as he speaks just fine. Ummmm...it's about processing the incoming and regulating the outgoing. I've discussed this with him more than once. On top of this, he says all this within ds' earshot.
Is the frying pan brigade nearby? Good thing he behaved himself somewhat for the rest of the day!
Answer:
I have come to the conclusion that men only hear what they want to hear! Ugh!
Answer:
I think it's a flaw in the male species, as little kids we ALL have selective hearing, men just never grow up, or out of theirs.
Answer:
Men only hear what they want to hear. I have to say "football" before I tell DH anything important if I want to have any chance of him hearing it. Sad, but true.
Answer:
I find my dh (who is hearing impaired) has a very selective hearing loss!!! If it is something from one of his hobbies he hears everything, but if I am telling him somethin important, he convieniently did not hear that!
Answer:
Urg! That is so bad for your DS to hear when DH should be saying supportive things, Like Wow, great words! I honestly don't get men and if you ever figure them out please let me know.
DH can only be around us if he is drinking or medicated. Urg!
