I think our solution is to enroll grandpa in some classes at the senior center or something so he can get some new material to regale us with.

Men:

Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?

Women:

Why buy the whole pig when all you need is a little sausage?

[Dantheman]

What I cannot figure out is which duties are hers, and hers alone.

Seasonal decorations.

Maybe he can teach the wives classes on the wisdom of the narthland

I laughed out loud to that one. (and many more on this thread) The reason being, I can relate. There are MANY duties that are mine, and mine alone. (A husband\mans job) What I cannot figure out is which duties are hers, and hers alone. Replacing wipers is my job. It's an easy one of course...but the double standard pisses me off.

That’s because there are no jobs around the house that are hers and hers alone.

The only way to make something her sole responsibility is to perform the task so poorly that she gets frustrated and just does it herself. That’s why Ms TBS does laundry and makes the bed.

You’ve been married how long and haven’t figured this out?

Seasonal decorations.

And pillows. Don’t forget the pillows.

I was thinking the same thing. So many pillows

[plugboots]

You guys. Have you read the thread?
She gets to: (and not limited to this),
-rearrange furniture
-pillow, (all aspects of them). Mrs. Plug just bought 2 last night.
-complain about lights on the dashboard, (after sufficient time has past), how much time, you ask?: “Nobody knows”
-play a fun game which entails hiding frequently used items in illogical places. Kinda an adult relationship version of hide-and-seek.

Feel free to add and help out TBS

The best is when she “loses” something.

“Have you seen my phone?”

My first response is always “have you looked for it yet?” Because if something isn’t exactly where her brain thinks it should be it’s lost forever.

I’d say 83% of the time the thing she “lost” is within a 3ft radius of her, just under a napkin or hiding behind a clear glass of water.

When someone asks me why i did something, i am happy to explain my whole thought process, the pros vs cons of each option, and why i settled on my final action. Questions and suggestions are welcomed. Might be why i am handling the "why?" stage with my 3yr old so well.

If i ask my wife why she did something... insta-fight.

….lets purchase and store the large, fragile, expensive glass pumpkins for three-hundred-sixty-four days a year…. That seems like a good use of space and money…..

But they’re pretty. Duh.

[XXX-er]

my buddy reffered to the job list as pink jobs ( hers) and blue jobs ( his )

[plugboots]

Ah yes, why we are in this tangled web.

The pink job

At some point you come to understand that "division of labor" means you will do the labor or she will get divisive.

"Have you seen my X?"
"No." I start helping her look.
"Have you looked in Y?"
"Oh, I never put it there."
"Have you looked at all the places you normally put it?"
"Yes."
"Then it must be someplace you never put it?"
"I don't need your help."

What I love about this thread is that it helps me understand that my wife isn't crazy, that she's a normal wife doing crazy normal wife things. And that we're just normal husbands being driven normally crazy. Courtship is the process of hiding the fact that we're normal.

I got a call yesterday from my wife. She can't find her wallet and asked me where she might have left it. Ive been on the road for a week doing some early season skiing and working my way to Las Vegas for the NGWA trade show. I have no idea where your wallet is.

[BC.]

I wish my wife lost her wallet…..she is setting yet another PR in daily/monthly/yearly spending.

There are pictures of her on the walls of the HQ’s of Capital One Bank, Target, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Amazon….as their customer of the year.

She is relentless…..
