skygal3 0 #1 December 11, 2003 I am a horrible wife so far. I think the act of marriage actually does something to a woman to throw her off of her normally perfect curve. I try to make my new hubby dinner; I burn it. I try to make tiramisu; it is soggy. Let's not even start talking about the stuffing. My latest find, which I am about to share, involves laundry. First off, I guess you can't leave wet laundry in the washer for days at a time. And I also found out that if you have rainy dirty musty sneakers that you left outside for a bit, you can't put them in with your normal laundry. Especially when you leave your normal laundry wet in the washer for a few days. This stuff never happened to me when I was single. I swear! Did I romantise my singledom? Kate sticks fingers in her ears and yells "lalala..la la la.." Or does this happen when you get married? Don't stick already musty shoes in with your laundry.

skygal3 0 #10 December 11, 2003 LOL. I think he blames himself anyway! He is sweet about it, I mean, when I first moved in I turned most of his socks pink and he still wore them to make me feel better! (Damn red shirts..) Tiramisu: An italian dessert consisting of coffee soaked lady fingers, marscapone cheese and chocolate. Yummy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chute 0 #13 December 11, 2003 Take it from a husband. It is our fault. That is what my wife tells me. She is always right. She is always perfect. If it wasn't for her husband (me) she would have angel wings. That reminds me of a saying. I will change my line at the bottom of my post. Signature?

Deuce 1 #14 December 11, 2003 Nah. It's just that when you're married it's much harder to throw the moldy pink laundry in the garbage and go shopping to convince yourself it never happened. Eventually you'll figure out that it goes like this: "Hon, have you seen my cool white cowboy shirt with the pearl snaps?" "No. I think you're talking about that shirt that I hate. Gosh, you look so good. Let's do it and then go shopping!" The bad thing is, once you get that all wired, then you have kids and have to add them into the equation.

Flowers sent to her at work, then when she gets home have the candles and body oil ready. Of course you could just use sunscreen. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug!

2fat2fly 0 #24 December 12, 2003 So you have a few miscues-so what. Marriage is a lot more than dinner and laundry. My wife has turned my socks and underwear pink a time or two, big deal. If I had done the laundry that time it would have been my fault, not hers. Chances are that he feels really bad about boneheaded things that he does and you don't even notice them. Likewise, your minor flubs are probably not issues for him. When stuff like this happens, laugh about it. In five years the fun you had laughing together about mistakes will stick with you much more than the mistakes themselves.I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
noname 0 #25 December 12, 2003 1950's advice supposedly printed in some women's magazine: Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal (especially his favourite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed. Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it. Clear away clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Gather up schoolbooks, toys, papers, etc. and then run a dustcloth over the tables. Over the winter months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction. Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces, comb their hair, and if necessary change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part. Minimise all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him. Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the right time. Let him talk first - remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours. Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure, and his real need to be at home and relax. Your goal. Try to make sure that your home is a place of peace and tranquility where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit. Don't greet him with complaints and problems. Don't complain if he's late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone throught that day. Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have him lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or a warm drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice. Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgement or integrity. Remember, he is master of the house and as such, will always excercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him. A good wife knows her place -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
