This made me feel very ashamed and embarrassed. I know I struggle greatly, but so many have it worse than I do! Thanks for the reminder! :a11:
Me too, sister. I lead this ridiculously comfortable lifestyle. I got nothing to complain about, but I still do.

"Disillusioned" :rofl:

Because one husband can do it all? After you get through laughing- we used to have a dish fairy. It would come after she had gone to bed to wash and stow the dishes. My wife loved the dish fairy better than Santa. Of course the dish fairy never could put everything back in the proper place. He would always insist the collander went with pots and pans.

Then we bought a dishwasher and the work was divided between the loader and putter away fairy although putter away fairy is as wrong as dish fairy ever was about where things go. Sometimes we think he does it on purpose.

You are a kind and enlightened man - I'm married to a Neanderthal - he does laundry and maybe twice a year when I am away, either he does the kitchen or forces the kids to, but it's pretty much my cross to bear.

I could use these four husbands:
Chef
Housekeeper
Masseur
Personal Stylist


OOOOOOOO OOOOOOO! I know! I know!

:rofl: I've spent way too much time trying to answer blunthead 's questions.

Oh my gosh! Not intended that way at all! I'm the biggest complainer on earth--mom is my Pollyanna (or used to be-she recently gave me a plaque that says, "Don't bother worrying. You mother worries enough for both of you."). I'm sorry for making you feel bad, Morgan.

Things I hope my kids learn before they move out:

1) BE KIND. We are all 'fighting a hard battle', as Plato said.

2) Pajama pants are not appropriate street wear

3) "Easy credit terms" generally aren't

4) Toilet paper and paper towels do not grow on the spindles. It will not hurt them if you impale them in their correct places.

5) Every word that ends in 's' does not need a #&%^$@! apostrophe.

I'm still struggling with #5. :down:

You didn't make me feel bad, hon-I made myself feel bad! You had an excellent point! =D

I used to say that, but then my mom gave me a plaque with this quote:

"Thank God for dirty dishes,
they have a tale to tell.
While other folks go hungry,
we're eating very well."


Very true :) Look on the sunny side :encouragement:

Your mom sure gives you a lot of plaques, Skimom! ;-D
