When the men put their foot down...

[Chew593]

My husband's breaking point is the checkbook... he says we can't afford it, or that I spend too much money. I remind him that we could afford his motorcycle and he owes me $13,000 worth of chickens and supplies in order to be even!

So to day is hubby's birthday, and I know he won't give us a dog, so what if we give him one for his birthday and say its from......

Will the foot go away??? or up my butt???? That is the question....

My husband doesn't have a breaking point when it comes to animals.
He may say "No" but never means it and I know he just wants me to be happy.

Now getting a kiss when I have coffee or pickle breath is NOT happening....

DH says no to a Great Dane, my dream dog. Says yes to all the chickens in the world, a goat, and 5 other dogs. He's actually an enabler when it comes to pets because he loves them as much as I do. But, alas no Great Dane. Why? Because he is afraid it will have health problems and a short life span. He says it would be too much to bare.

It works for me.

We know each other well enough that when we are not physically together and a decision needs to be made, we've got a pretty good idea of how the other would feel about it.

The rule for us is generally whoever cares more about a subject is the one that's going to get their way unless it's just totally impossible or unreasonable (He wants a boat, I'm fine with that, we can't afford the one he is drooling over)

I want chickens more than he doesn't want chickens, so we are getting chickens.
He wants to plant 100+ onions in the garden more than I don't want to plant 100+ onions in the garden, so 100+ onions are getting planted.

Right now the baby cares more about being naked than his dad or I care about making him wear clothes, so I guess the kidlet can have his way.

This is how my marriage works also.

Wow THIS is how ours does too and I thought we were the ONLY ones.We have been married 17 years and SO FAR we have not come to an issue that we both feel equally strong about.GREAT to know we are not the only ones!!!

Had a hard time convincing Dad to let me have chickens..... he does not really care for them. He calls them my turd birds.
