Seriously...what woman can refuse to enter a thread that says "For Men's eyes only NO women allowed!"?
My $.02...
I tell my husband he makes a perfect wife.
He has a full-time job, a part-time business, is President of the school board and a member of the BOCES school board, we have 2 kids and loads of pets. Without prompting he washes dishes, cleans the cat litter, does the laundry, does 75% of the cooking, vacuumes, cleans the toilets/tubs/sinks, pays the bills, makes the kids lunches for school, makes my coffee in the morning, and rubs my back at night! Yee-haw!
He has even babysat on numerous occasions for some of my friends, so we can go off and do something else! He coaches soccer, referees games, carpools, led our Boy Scout den, umps for softball, coaches baseball...he helps the kids with their homework, helps our son practice his percussion music, and knows how I like the pillows displayed on the bed and couches!
Our tradeoff is that I mow the lawn...which I love to do. (That's not all I do, but this is about him.)
When he was ten, his mother accidentally dyed his tighty-whities pink...it scarred him for life, so he has no problem doing laundry.
(I thank my MIL yearly!) As far as cooking, he went into hotel management in college...he loves to cook and experiment.
He cans too! (Pickles, jams...) I loathe doing dishes, so I'll do 1 load to each of his 10.
He knows how to plumb, do electrical work, minor carpentry, and can run all sorts of construction machinery, drive big trucks...to top it off he can drive a Zamboni! He majored in Turf Grass management, and has become a valuable resource to me in identifying weeds in my gardens, and even identifies harmful grubs/beetles for me.
He likes all sports (gag me
), is a man's man, likes to hunt and fish, isn't afraid to wear pink, is as hairy as they come...and sees NO categorization on "men's" work vs. "women's" work! He doesn't go out drinking, womanizing, or gambling. He will pick up a romantic comedy because I like them...and he even WATCHES them with me (gasp!). He often falls asleep, but that's okay. He loves my sense of humor...I can get him laughing so hard, he cries! (It's sick, twisted, perverted, sarcastic kind of humor.)
I am a feminist and kept my maiden name. If he were to do it all over, I think that would be the one thing he'd put his foot down on and change!
The only thing I had to "teach" him, was how to HUG! He was a lousy hugger 12 years ago, now he's perfect!
He is the kind of guy I wish I could share with other women!
I'm too jealous to live that kind of lifestyle...but anyway. I think my husband should be the mold from where all future male species come!
I'm lucky to have him.
Muggs you just need to bring him to chickenstock and introduce or DH's nough said!
