My carpets would be lucky to get vacuumed a few times a month. :lol:
We have had the same cleaning lady for seventeen years. The vacuuming gets done, and other floor surfaces, but only recently anything above that ! --- Scary !!!

717148 2008-11-04 08:25:00 lol Rob I am much older and grumpier now. :banana

I doubt there will ever be common ground for couples sharing a house but isn't that suppose to keep it from getting boring??? I have a friend who thinks there's a 7 year rule. She thinks that after 7 years its time to move on. I think she just needs to freshen it up a bit. But what do I know lol.

In saying that though I have noticed that the small things, being told what to wear, eat, do the washing, put the toilet seat down etc can become large holes that are too hard to fix.

Can't live with em ........ :thumbs:
+++ where to park !! eight spaces available ... but only one is right for ...the shade, the angle, the space, the proximity... hang any one of them will do for me !!!!!!!!!!!!

717150 2008-11-04 18:45:00 You mean there is more than one of us out there? I thought I had that on my own! A kindred spriit, no less. Thank you, Speedy. I feel so much better now.

I do the clothes washing, folding and the occasional ironing as well.

That is the reason for the term, "SWMBO."

I've had years of marital combat experience. It has taught me that even if you are 100%, unequivocally, absolutely and definitely correct - you are wrong.

Us husbands are a sorry lot.

I'm also another sorry example of manhood. Also do all of the above, like Speedy. Marital combat experience also very high, so to limit the pain and suffering the best thing to do is ALWAYS to say "Yes, dear", and to go and do it.

B*gger, where did we go wrong?

Heard one new guy in the area the other day, commenting on me doing the good thing once a week, picking up SWMBO's take-away curry - "I will NEVER do that, show them who's the boss, when I come home ......." and all that kind of cr*p. He did not like it much that I laughed in his face and told him that's the reason he has been married 3 or 4 or 5 times. Some people just never learn.

717151 2008-11-04 19:22:00 I think that might be more because way too many of them these days are incapable of doing anything.

I'm happy to do the cooking and most of the other house stuff because mine fixes the cars, does the vege garden (although not the rest of them), does the house repairs / painting etc mostly and does the chainsawing.

I know a lot of women stuck with useless males who can't do any DIY stuff at all, and then if they don't help round the house either then they aren't too much use at all.

I have no sympathy for such lousy pickers.(of spouses)

717152 2008-11-04 20:00:00 There's nothing worse than a woman with a power tool

Oh please. Like she should stand around in her frilly dress all helpless until a man arrives to do some minor job.

In general mine does the maintenance as I said, but if he isn't here and I need it now, then I can operate a drill or log splitter or whatever.
Same as he can cook and feed himself instead of standing around like an idiot until some woman appears.

717153 2008-11-04 20:03:00 Just like the peace on earth clause, if the sexes were happily coexisting the world would be a boring place indeed. rob_on_guitar (4196)
717154 2008-11-04 20:48:00 Granted I was taking the piss, I have lived with a few woman, those that mattered though loved living with me except they wanted me to wear this and that and stop hanging out with certain friends (which turns out to be all my friends) and listen and put time aside for them (thats time besides living with them and seeing them every moment your not at work) and stop eating certain foods (which is all the food you actually like) and stop working too much and yet still pay the bills and do the washing and do the dishes and take care of baby and take her out for dinners and have fun. Which I did happily until they started saying stop playing my music so much.

They only ask for your life which you give, but obviously some girls want more then that.

Well you know how the saying goes: "Women marry men expecting them to change and they don't and men marry women expecting them not to change and they do". :rolleyes:

If all your women try and change you after living with you for a while then the answer is obviously don't ever live with a woman. :thumbs:

Damn right, then she should offer up some sexual relief, get him a beer and put some food on the table . And that table had better be spotless .
