Sometimes when they ask what is for dinner I tell them to go forage they're old enought to make a sandwitch. Sometimes I tell them since they didn't do thier chores I don't have to do mine...so no clean clothes and no cooking.

For the longest time I felt like I was lacking because I couldn't cook. It just seems like ALL women cook.

(Which gave me a complex) Or because he thought he could do it better. And sometimes because it annoyed him when I wrote.<br /><Valerie Douglas/V. J.

I think my reasons are probably different though--I'm admittedly not a great housekeeper or any of those typically "womanly" things, so I think that because of that, I tend to take his doing things as implying that I ought to be doing it, when in reality, that's often not even factoring into his thinking at all.<br /><br />Anyway, THAT wasFedorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879033776125666713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-57794341438119120142010-01-11T16:32:43.301-05:002010-01-11T16:32:43.301-05:00Laurann--don't feel sloppy!

NOTHING IN LIFE IS THAT IMPORTANT.<br /><br />My daughter and son-in-law live with us now with our two granddaughters. Since he's unemployed, he does the house stuff while I write. ALL of the house stuff.

I have a certain way of doing things and that is how I like it done. No matter how many times I explain my process, when someone else does it...they do it wrong! I'd rather do it myself.

My hubby pitches in often, cooks a few nights a week, lets me sleep in on the weekends so I can write all night, and he will do the dishes on the weekend once, sometimes twice and I'm thrilled! LOL.

My hubby will do things if I ask, but he's not the type to just go in there and start doing the dishes or sweeping the floor so I'm not sure how I'd react. I could be the same way but it would probably be after I came out of my bout of shock. ROFL. <br /><br />I will say though that like Reg mentioned I am kind of picky about how things are Kelley Nyraehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370986712526819194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-35086781219712196402010-01-11T12:31:45.797-05:002010-01-11T12:31:45.797-05:00Ummm are we twins or something?

I immediately took his actions as his way of saying the floor wasn't clean enough to suit him. I got a tad snippy and he looked shocked...like HUH???? He explained he was only trying to help. JEEZ. Why was I so defensive about it???? My kids used to Regina Carlyslehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316730032624449669noreply@blogger.com
