DeeTee Posts: 166 Joined: 2004/06/09	2004/06/20, 09:27 PM I'd love to know how all these wives get their hubbys to do any work at all. I really don't have that gift! I ask if he could do some painting while Im at work and I get home and he's asleep on the couch with the kids outside disgustingly dirty and running amok. No painting done. What am I doing wrong? Donna By the way, happy Fathers' Day to all the wonderful Dads out there. :love:

My Wife is always so nice to me, that when she asks me to do something around the house I say "ya ya sure" of course it doesn't get done until she asks me in her corporal way, then it's ok ok, I'll do it, iI just like to make it difficult, thats all! -------------- "A will finds a way, failure is not an option" Ivan carivan@freetrainers.com Montreal Canada

dfly411 Posts: 1,352 Joined: 2004/03/04	2004/06/21, 07:20 AM I'm both shocked and entertained over here... It's all a matter of team work and compromise, which basically needs to be there before you get into the relationship. Hector and I both came into the marriage respecting the fact that the "normal roles" of man and wife had no place here. With us both having careers, it just couldn't be that way. I am at a lack for nothing when it comes to getting help, most often he does it on his own and when he doesn't I leave him a list...(which he then posts on FT so that eveybody will think that I am a slave driver or something.) :cool: Anyway, Dee, if he has never helped out, even when asked, chances are that he never will without a substantial amount of hate and discontent. If it really bothers you, tell him and then stick to your guns...and when all else fails, do exactly what Anni recommended. :laugh::laugh:

Vedakathryn Posts: 1,585 Joined: 2004/05/28	2004/06/21, 07:04 PM We know better, dfly411, but I have mentioned that I am amazed and I have great respect for the both of you that he actually DOES anything off the list! My husband would use it to wipe his @## and then leave me a list while he goes fishing. Naaaa...I'm just making him look bad as he promised to paint my kitchen for Mother's Day and Friday I had to paint it myself! It's nice when people respect one another and realize that they need to work together to keep that respect! ============ Quoting from dfly411: I am at a lack for nothing when it comes to getting help, most often he does it on his own and when he doesn't I leave him a list...(which he then posts on FT so that eveybody will think that I am a slave driver or something.) :cool: -------------- Veda MISERY IS OPTIONAL *When you are up to your ears in trouble, try using the part that is not submerged. *The difference between a dream and a goal is a plan.

DeeTee Posts: 166 Joined: 2004/06/09	2004/06/21, 07:45 PM Team work and compromise fly out the window, along with reason, most days. Seriously I started doing it myself last night and he was out in a flash like I thought he would be. Apparently he was waiting for me to kick him up the bum! Im not a kick up the bum type of person. So problem fixed, now I know if I start to do what needs to be done, he'll be out to direct me. :big_smile: I only hope I don't need to do the same with the verandah! I've already stood on a nail, hit myself in the head with a hammer (don't ask!), ended up with back spasms from holding the roll of insulation wrong, twisted my ankle and got a huge bruise from my thigh to my knee from falling plasterboard. All from trying to help build an 8 metre by 10 metre extension! I learnt my lesson and wont try building again. Donna
