Dear Husband, Here's some advice... so you'll live longer.

[HistoryMamaX3]

• If the thought of cleaning a bathroom bewilders you- don't comment on the routine I use.

• If you don't know what the playroom looks like on a regular day- don't ask when I plan on having the "kids" clean it up.

• If you don't know where the dishes go- please ask. It saves me no time if while cooking dinner I can't find the strainer when the noodles are done!

• If the washing machine is a foreign object to you- then you do not reserve the right to question the growing pile!

• If you have no clue where the cleaning supplies are kept or where to find the broom- I don't want to hear any "helpful" hints.

• If you haven't been home all day while I have been cleaning and cooking AND taking care of the children- do NOT walk into the house and look at ONE pile of toys on the floor and ask, "What the hell happened here?"

These things might cause an instantaneous blow-up of the head from your normally accommodating wife.

This should be a Public Service Announcement.  It could save the llves of many husbands.

Ditto!

Let's add: Don't sleep two hours longer than your wife in the morning and then when you get up complain about how tired you are.

It's a good thing they have some useful anatomy, because their mouths often don't qualify.

Not real smart, is he? It must be congenital- are men REALLY this ignorant of daily living??

evwsquared- that is a GREAT one! I don't know how many times I've been up all night with a kid and he's complained the next day- or worse, asked why I was tired the next day! lol

MemaSu- they must be! I don't understand them at all, but I know it isn't just mine... I've read many a journals on this very thing! lol  Clairandamjones is right- good thing for those parts! :0)

I could repeat these lines to hubby (and have repeated some of them), and he still wouldn't get it.  I think it's just part of their makeup.
