And this is why women make "honey do lists". My other halfs poor attempts at housework only causes more work for me. Ive learned just to say "thank you", grimace a smile, encourage a beer and the boob tube, and go right behind him and re-do it, but at least he tried.
His closet is neat as a pin. Mine look like a hurricane hit it. I have 3. He has one. And laughs when we are going out for an "occasion" and I say I have nothing to wear!!
But back to housework..........
He picks up his towels when he showers, used to leave his goatee hair in the sink until I finally had a nervous condition over that one, doesnt leave toothpaste in the sink and will attempt to get "toothpaste" spots off the mirrors. He does often throw a load of "his" clothes into the wash as he lives in terror of ruining mine, or so he says....they are mixed into the hamper together. No excuse for that one.
And dust? If I didnt get it up, it would be his new best friend. And a Dirt Devil is only used to go around things, they shouldnt be moved.
Men do have their uses, though. Killing spiders and bad snakes is one. The $ to live well is a plus also. A hug on a bad day is priceless, flowers when it isnt a holiday or a birthday is an awesome surprise, as well. And knowing that yes, he would indeed take a bullet for me is simply adorable. And the ability of a man to go get you a cheesecake when you are down and out should never be either written off or forgotten.
I think I may just keep mine. Regardless of his will to do equal housework or not. Not fair, I know, but if Im going to go right behind him and do it again, theres no sense in both of us getting riled. One of us at a time is plenty.
Men---you gotta love 'em!
