Question for the women

[luvmygdaughters]

Not at all. Two things are going on here:

We think differently than you do. Our priorities are different than yours, and that's how we are wired. You can either try to understand us and work with it, or you can keep bitching and wonder why nothing changes.

Second, bitching doesn't work. No different than training a dog, really. If it is all punishment with no reward the dog gets used to the punishment and it no longer works. If the only reward for complying with your wishes is not having to hear you bitch for a while, why bother? It goes both ways.

AH HA!!!!! Finally...I've always said treat your husband like a dog and you'll have a great relationship with him. I'm finally validated!!

And we need to treat women like cats. Remove their claws or you will get scratched. Never expect them to want to be around you when you want it. Accept that they will want to cuddle when you don't. Realize that they will turn their nose up at something that was acceptable yesterday. And keep the litter box clean or else.

See... you do understand. As my granddaughter is constantly pointing out to her grandfather...Girls Rule...Boys Drool.

And that's the cat's point of view. They rely on us to provide their every need, but believe that they are in charge. But when push comes to shove and someone's breaking into your house, even a little yip dog will try to bite their ankles off while the cat hides under the bed.

I'd just say, "No they're not mine. Did you have company yesterday?".

Truth !

I love this thread! Why must we wimmen's have to repeat the same requests over and over again. You know damn well you're going to leave your man panties on the floor, you also know your SO is going to see them, you know she is going to remark on the fact that you have probably stepped over them 3 or 4 times, but just cant seem to make the effort to pick them up and place them in the hamper. My worse 1/2 will grab a paper plate, make his own sammich, eat it, then walk the paper plate to the kitchen, past the trashcan and lay the used, dirty paperplate on the kitchen counter, knowing full well this drives me crazy I think you menfolk, actually enjoy being biatched at. Maybe you're craving the attention your mothers used to give you, maybe you enjoy being told what to do, then again, maybe you're all just slobs who dont mind wading thru a sea of dirty underwear and paperplates. :shrug: As for the restaurant thing, pick 3 different places, ask her, Honey, out of these 3, where would you least like to go?

I am raising 2 teenage boys and I taught them young to pick up after themselves... things like leaving the cap off the toothpaste, laundry on the floor after showering, dishes they've used not making their way to the dish washer and no, putting them in the sink isn't the dish washer. I had huge problems with my husband leaving his shiat all over the place when we first got married and I picked up after him like a maid. After we had children, I had to put the brakes on that because I was also working full-time and trying to finish my degree. I blamed his mother, partly, because she never imposed any sort of rules and just did it herself. She will admit that now. And, I blamed myself for not stepping up and saying something sooner. I really do believe women pick up more often after their male children than we should as is. So perhaps mothers create this sort of mess for wives to deal with later. Now, my husband is wonderful about not only picking up after himself but anticipating the things that need to be done. I don't speak in code. I gave up that crap up years ago. I have called my kids downstairs to pick up a plate off a coffee table and put it where it belongs. I only wait on them when they are sick now.

She is probably asking that question because she's thinking that there is no way on Earth that you'd be so lazy and insensitive that you would leave them on the floor. So, some else MUST have done it, and she's just trying to find out who did it.

so who's the stupid one here.

But, when they choose a wife, they will choose one that has been properly trained to wait on them as God intended.

I think those days are gone. When we first got married, he would leave clothes next to the hamper. If they weren't IN the hamper, they didn't get washed. As soon as the kids were able to walk down the stairs with their clothes basket, they did their own clothes. My Mother was a do it all kind of woman, and when she died suddenly at the age of 41, I had no clue how to do anything for myself, so I broke the chain, and gave my kids responsibilities when they started walking!

Then he made the earth round
And he laughed and laughed and laughed."
