Do you ever feel like your husband is more like your child at times?

what i mean is.... i dont mind taking care of my husband in fact i love it. And with me being an at home mother i feel there is nothing wrong with me doing all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, dropping off and picking up our daughter from kndergaten etc etc. My problem is when i dont feel good or i was up all night because our daugher had a fever and was throwing up so im tired the next morning and i dont have an ounce of energy or the time to make his lunch for work, he doesnt get mad he just comes up with remarks like " thats ok i dont need to eat tonight anyways" or " well i cant make it right you always do it so good, it just doesnt taste the same" or " well you always say that it only takes 5 minutes, you dont have 5 minutes to sapre?" it drives me nuts!! I feel bad and he knows that i feel bad and i end up making it anyway. I tried the whole im not going to give in thing but then he went to work a whole week without eating!! and with him and his shedule its usually work lunch/dinner is all he has time for through each day! Theres also the "wifey do you know where (such and such) is when it is right in front of him or its where it always is! For example, my husband hasnt talked to me in 2 days over a petty thing. He is such a BABY sometimes~!! O
ok so heres the reason he didnt talk to or sleep in the same bed with me for 2 days! !!!
we live with my mom so there are 7 of us in the house and 2 bathrooms. My sister is a teenageer and uses 3-4 clean towels each time she showers, which is usually twice a day. My mother does 2 loads of towels in the washer a day! Were always running out of clean towels, so what i do is i wash a few of our towels and i stash them in my drawers with my clean clothes this way we never run out of towels so anyways... i was real busy figuring some things out, taxes and whatnot, and he comes in the room and says hun were out of towels, then he asks if i have any stashed. I am so caught up in what im doing i nudge to the closet were my clean clothes are. ABout 3 minutes go by and he says hun do you have any clean towels in your drawers? once agiain i nod to the closet. He gets annoyed and says do you or dont you have any towlels hiddedn with your clean clothes? I put the pen down look at him and say... " go look!" with "an attitude" thats it that caused him not to talk or anything to me for 2 whole days! grrr the thing that made me so upset was that He didnt look first, he knows where they are , were they ALWAYS are, he saw i was busy and he still wanted me to get up and go look!!
PLease tell me that all husbands are like this and if you have any suggestions on what i can do to break this habit please let me know! thank you!

My father is that way if not worse. He always wants you to get his things for him. I feel sorry for my mum in a way. It is her fault because she always gave him everything she wanted. If he is going in the bathroom for a shower, he just goes in there empty handed and shouts all the time he is there for her to get his things. The chest with his underwear and towels and all the accessories is in the bathroom!!! He won't just open a drawer even though he knows where everything is. He just loves to feel bossy over her. The bathroom is only a poor example as he is like that in everything he does.
Seeing this and knowing that my husband's mother did the same with my husband, I acted differently with him. I have made it a point that all our things are in a proper chest of drawers in my bathroom but he had to get his things by himself. He even cleans the bathromm behind him when he is finished. I am glad I got to teach him this way. My dad was such a pain in the a**. LOL

I think a lot of men are like that, and mine has his days when he's like that. They always ask me what's for dinner, and they never know where to find anything. I think a lot of it is just laziness, they don't want to make the extra effort when they can just ask us and find it immediately.
