Women aren't nags, we're just fed up

Meh. Not reading all of it. It does irk me though that neither of the men in my house will left a finger to clean up after I've cooked without me telling them to, but I finally figured out I guess they have to be told what to do. I do, of course, have the choice of not cooking in the first place.

Hmm...didn't Ron Paul warn us about group think? I like to look at people on an individual bases--there are some women I can work with and others I cannot. There are some men I can be around and others I cannot. I have come across some whiny men too and those who are so self-centered they think all the bad in the world is happening just to them. I call them the, "Woe is me" type and one that can take a positive and make it negative relatively quick!

There is nothing new under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJV)
9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

The problem with relationships is that there is just too much togetherness.

Not to shill for Amazon or anything, but you can order housecleaning from them:

I've found that keeping things organized is key, so you don't have remember the inventory. For house hold supplies (paper towels, etc), I keep extra stock on hand in a supply area, when the extra supply is taken I immediately make a note of it on my phone (which has a built in stylus "pen") so I don't have to remember what I need when I go to the store. We don't run out of things with this system and also have extra supplies when a hurricane hits.

That sounds awfully practical and unemotional, so it doesn't count. You ungrateful bastard. Sleep on the couch tonight.

When I brush my daughter’s hair and elaborately braid it round the side of her scalp, I am doing the thing that is expected of me. When my husband brushes out tangles before bedtime, he needs his efforts noticed and congratulated—saying aloud in front of both me and her that it took him a whole 15 minutes.

What is all the fuss about?

I'm plenty organized. Even my spices are alphabetized.

Exactly.


You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to donnay again.

I now understand the male suicide rate. But I don't feel sorry for the husband either, he's beyond f'd in the head to marry such a creature. They belong together. Bitch wife and ballless subservient goblin husband, begging for a little approval from his queen.

Just tell them you can't cook in a dirty kitchen make yourself a sandwich and stand your ground see how long it takes them to get the idea. The way to make a man wash the dishes is thru his stomach.

Nice, non-manipulative behavior gets my help..

Whining, bitching or complaining get's ya the boot.
