Why is it that my husband will not put things on the shopping list even when they are things he uses all the time? He can see that they are getting empty, or have run out, sometimes they are things only he uses so I would not notice it getting low. But he will not put it on the list. ED  |

I used to share a flat with a man who would put empty boxes and packets back in the store cupboard or freezer and trip over bin bags directly in his way rather than take then outside when he went to work!!!

My kids (all boys!) walk past their own belongings I have put at the foot of the stairs in the vain hope they will recognise them and take them up to their rooms. They don't put empty packets in the cupboard because they never put anything away, but they also don't throw them away either. Mom has to do it. And they never tell me if things have run out (even if it's something I never use so wouldn't know) and then I get earache for there not being any left. Toilet roll? Don't talk to me about toilet roll........
Now I'm grinding my teeth. Thanks for starting this thread, Marie. Feeling great now.
*I'm sure you can hear the sarcasm*
Funny - they've been on holiday for the past week without me. Missed them like crazy. Just wait til they've been back half an hour! I'll be sending them back. Roll on the new term.

I hate it when he comes in and points out things ai HAVEN'T done, never noticing what has been done to perfection, and if he does something, he moans as he is doing it with plenty of tuts included, "Do it or don't do it, but don't moan while doing it!!"....

Apparantly this method doesn't work for men because they can't process walking up stairs (one action) and at the same time process the action of looking at items at the foot of the stairs, registering what they are and comprehending that they must take them upstairs. (Serious!) Something to do with their one-track minds ;D (They can be trained though!) Rhiannon |

My ex boyfirend used to do something similar, he would come in from work and complain about there not being room on the coffee table to put his drink down, (because he'd left a load of guitar strings,picks and other assorted rubbish there) so one time I just swept everything off the table with a flourish and went back to writing training sessions for the next week!! He also used to walk in and demand that I turned off my music, I reminded him a) that I never ever told him what music he could listen to / play, and b) if he didn't like it he could turn around and use the front door!!
Grew out of being a doormat many years ago!!

I think the female community can be just as bad, when ya argue with them you never win they always got to have the last say in things even if they know there in the wrong and proven to be.

I think it's quite sweet when Martin goes and stands proudly next to the washing up when he does it, and waits for me to tell him what a good boy he's been ;D (I don't let him see me rinsing the suds of the glasses afterwards) Men can be very cute sometimes can't they |

Yeah ive got one like that, announces that "Ive done the housework for you!!" Oh thank you I say. Do they ever thank us for doing the same jobs ( but correctly) no!! my son, when he was younger went though a stage of opening the biscuits, eating some and then turning the packet backward and replacing them in the cupboard, so it looked like they were unopened, when in fact there were three left (weired) he also used to open the chocolates on the Xmas tree, eat them and reshape the paper and hang them back on  got to give him 10 out of 10 for ingenuity poshx |
