my husband had his 42nd birthday on thursday and has turned into victor mildrew!!! he has done nothing but complain about exhuasts on cars and how loud they are 'all noise and no speed' he said this morning. all he's done since thursday is maon moan moan! he is moaning about everything and nothing! he has just had a moan about me 'tippy tapping' on my key board, and i better finnish before the footy starts!! has anyone elses hubby turned into victor mildrew and what age were they?

Mine goes through phases of being Victor Meldrew and he's 35! I have to confess I have no patience with it and tease him about it when he's on one - I just turn around and say 'I don't believe it'. lol It's just a male thing I think - he'll probably get over it in a few days, or maybe it's the start of a mid-life crisis??? ;-) Kaye x

yep right on his 40th birhday, mine also moans at at tap tapping, like I say to him, you have your hobbies football golf and darts , this is mine so sxd off....just have a good old moan to him about his moaning he'll soon stop....lol Hayley

hi kaye. midlife crisis!! he aint likely to see his mid life if he keeps going the way he is!! i'm on the verge of throttling him! hope england win today otherwise i'm leaving!! lol

or poor Aunty Christine....... what we have to put up with ehh...by the way how long have we got before the shouting at the TV starts....close him down... tackle him...who was that too..... your having a laugh and so on....and then just to annoy him even more I say ' what song are the crowd singing and why'... tee hee Hayley

orrrrrrrrrrrrrr his poor mam.......

haylie. i might try that! he has just had a moan about not being at southampton for the footy! i told him can go if likes and he said 'IT'S TOO $!!**^@ LATE NOW!' you just cant win can you.

Thank goodness my Hubby doesn't like Football - I have to put up with Formula 1 though, if he remembers it's on and I haven't managed to distract him early enough. lol Hayley - I'm like you, if he's in one of his moods I tend to annoy him even more, I just can't help myself. lol I had a joke through once - it was a list of digs really at Men and one of them was.... 'Why do little boys whine? Because they're training to be men' teehee! I'm sure not all Men are like it though - sure some of you are lovely considerate individuals ;-) Kaye x

I'll join you girls! He's only been a Victor for about the last 10 years, but I wish he'd change the record! Cherryxx

ohhhhhhhhhhh the penny has just dropped he's been grumpy all day so you tell him to get out of your sight.....and of course you didn't .... as a wife its part of you many many many many duties to be able to read his mind.......lol

mines 73 and hes been Victor Mildew ( as our grandkids call him) for over 20 years and its got worse the older he gets. I get VERY uptight at the tone he talks to me,as my Mum used to say'its not what you say but the way you say it' I bite back cos I feel if I let him get away with it it will get worse ,and, i feel its a form of bullying. We mostly are each others best friend and he does admit when we talk about it,that he doesnt know why he does it. A male form of PMT.s I think lol. Shirley

Mine's turning into a miserable old whatsit at times as well... 60 next birthday. Grumpy , bad -tempered ..

Thats us mams for you any excuse to mother our boys ....... A-up the TV is on ,all the tellys in the house and he has chosen to watch this in this room.......... get ready ......... ME....whos that playerand what time does he play for? HIM.... Just carry on looking for dead people Hayley........... he turns off TV and walks to another room.... worked like a dream...

shirley. i know exactley what you mean!!my victor has a terrible tone in his voice and when i ask him why he says he doesnt mean to. but like you i bite back because i dont like it. the footy has just started and he's complaining about it already. if he is so good at footy why aint he on the pitch?!!

Well we don't call my OH Mr Grumpy for nothing........!!! Barbara..xx

Baby dol, Fortunately mine has been to the Pub for his sat two pints .he cant drink so it makes him sleepy ,we,ve just finished lunch on the patio & Hes now sleeping in his recliner with the radio on R3. He doesnt like footy BUT will sometimes get engrossed later on with the repeat!! Doeant it make you so mad when they talk to you as if you are a child that needs chasitising or you are thick

Christine, When they are watching F1, I ask about the red team, blue team etc - really winds them up! lol Janice

here's how you do Aunty but you must be an old hand at this...... YOU.......Who that in the blue car....did he go with that model with the long legs and big nose......now what was her name ...... no no she was out of that film, you know the one I like, with her in that nice frock ......no thats that singer do you remember ( start singing tuneless song in high pitch) .......... HIM...... gets up turns off TV , puts on his coat and heads for mams.....lol.

oh shirley. yes it does make me mad when he talks to me like a child! my son has adopted the same attitude as his dad. but when son does it too hubby he says 'dont talk to me like that!' and my son says, 'well dad i had a good teacher'. then i get it in the neck and it had nothing to do with me at all! what do you do? i go deaf dumb and blind and make out i aint got a clue whats going on.
