Notes From A Thoughtful Husband

[selenau837]

Here's my dream dog house...

Yes, so your wife can take you around to the stores with her while shopping.

 

[Brianwarnock]

My wife. like all women, believe that there are2 ways to do anything, her way and the wrong way. My eldest daughter always said that she may aswell be told off for doing nothing as for doing it (anything) wrongly, I tend to agree but frequently chicken out

Wow, I think I like your wife. She sounds like a tough cookie!!

And one has to weigh the options - I figured cleaning the floors was worth a pleasant week end with no other honey-do's...

 

[Brianwarnock]

She knows how to get what she wants, and she knows what she wants, but she is not as smart as me , just look at who we both married

Brian

Seesh , you were let off lightly.

Brian

 

[selenau837]

Brian

I would say she is much smarter. She has put the fear of God into you. You do it right or you get in trouble. Also, she was smart enough to marry a man who was in the IT field. She knew you would make it big and be able to retire at a young age. So you have all the time in the world to do things she wants you to do at home.

To me, she is as smart if not smarter as you are.

 

[Brianwarnock]

No Selena I'm smarter, I chose her by far the best deal.

Brian

The evening meal is ready, time to go, be seein' you

 

[selenau837]

No Selena I'm smarter, I chose her

Brian

*giggles* She let you choose her. But yes, you were smart for falling in love with her.

I would say you are both of equal intelligence due to the fact she has to be very smart to out smart you and make you do things she wants you to do.

 

[Rich]

Anyway, I think that Selena has made some good points in this discussion, its very frustrating for women to try to keep a neat home when the [so called] man of the house can't be assed to do a few jobs.
It is a joint thing Ken this marriage business. Poor old Cupcake, imagine how she feels. She tries her best for you. . . . . . . .

Col

Col, you need to get to the docs quick, you're going down with something.
For Christsake take care while you're in this vunerable condition, she'll even get you to do the dishes
With any luck it'll just be a 24hr bug

 

[Rich]

Ps My washing had to be spun twice today, I had it out on the line early then it rained when I wasn't looking

Brian

A womans work is never done

 

[Rich]

while you're in the kitchen, make me a coffee there's a love

Col

She should already be in there getting the tea ready

 

[jsanders]

Ps My washing had to be spun twice today, I had it out on the line early then it rained when I wasn't looking
The other half was at the kindergarten (teaching I better add)

Brian

I pay the illegal Spanish ladies to do mine.

 

[Rich]

I pay the illegal Spanish ladies to do mine.

I hope you pay her the legal minimum, which of course is considerably less expensive than a wife

Is a Submissive Wife the Key to a Happy Marriage?

Author Laura Doyle thinks so, and apparently a lot of people agree with her because this new bestselling book is flying off the shelves.

With divorce rates reported at fifty percent in recent years, could the problem be that women no longer respect the man of the house? Maybe wives can simply learn to behave and all will be well.

In her new, surprisingly popular and not surprisingly, controversial book, The Surrendered Wife, Laura Doyle proposes that every woman should stop trying to control her husband, cease all criticism of him, learn not to interrupt and definitely apologize if she becomes "disrespectful."

She should leave finances, investments and purchases in his trusted care, say what she wants from time to time, but ever so kindly, and without stirring up any conflict.

Of course, sex is an obligation of marriage, explains Doyle, and should be surrendered to at least once a week whether a woman is in the mood or not. A wife is allowed to feel, but not to actually think, at least not about anything of significance, and she should expect her husband to think, but not to feel. In a blissful marriage, the roles are clear cut, neat, and rarely overlapping.

Phew!!! its ok Rich - I feel better today. . . . . . . .I don't know what happened - one minute all was going well, Selena was on the ropes then suddenly I felt for poor old Cupcake.
Jesus! I hope I fare a bit better today, I had a couple of (home measure) vodkas last night.

Now lets get those girls to make some bloody tea - a bloke could die of thirst waiting for them to do it They sit there all day drinking that corrosive battery acid Coca Cola, never thinking about others gagging for a tea

Yes and I've discovered that most of what they're supposed to do can be replaced with a machine

Ok girls, once more, with feeling: Yes, dear......

No, I don't think I can do it. It just doesn't come out of my mouth the right way. "Yes, dear" comes out sounding somewhat like some expletives I have heard when it is issued from my lips.....

I just received this via email, and thought it was appropriate for this thread:

After the long months of cold and winter, we will soon be coming up to
summer and BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your
memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking as it's the
only type of cooking a real man will do, probably because there is
an element of danger involved.

When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:

Routine...

1) The woman buys the food.
2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.
3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.

Here comes the important part:

4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

More routine....

5) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He
thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the situation

Important again:

7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.
More routine.....

8) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins,
sauces and brings them to the table.
9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

And most important of all:

10) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.


11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "Her night off." And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women...

You need to add the part where the man delegated the menial tasks to the female...

(Otherwise - Great post! )
