My girlfriend made me ask this. How many women's other halves say they will do jobs around the house and then?

Question

make up an excuse for why they can't do them? Eg. "You didn't remind me" Sorry fellas but she made me ask this. And no, i am not under the thumb. Much

Answer 1

I offer to do things and then do them.  What's the problem?  If you are going to do something and say it then do it.  Besides, it is not a females responsibility to do the work, it is up to each of the partners to get the place clean.  (And keep it that way.)

Answer 2

I was just wondering if you have to sit down when you pee?

My wife is at my beck and call like a good woman. If she loves you she will want to serve you.

Answer 3

I get it all the time. Our poor old goldfish is swimming around his tank weraing a headlamp because his tank is so cloudy, hubby keeps saying he'll do it but doesn't (i cant because fish freak me out, it's our little boys pet)-

Answer 4

BECAUSE MOST OF THE TIME WE ARE NOT ACTUALLY LISTENING WHEN THEY TELL US TO DO SOMETHING, ALL WE HEAR IS A NOISE IN THE BACK ROUND, WE SAY YES FOR THE SAKE OF PEACE, BUT WE HAVE 2 EARS, IN ONE OUT THE OTHER, THATS MY EXCUSE ANYWAY

Answer 5

Oh i get it all the time

"I'll do this...that and the other"

3 hours later.....

Still not done....

Full of promises...

But those promises are unfulfilled..lol

Answer 6

Last night I made dinner...then he asked if I could go clean up the kitchen and wash the dishes and he would be in in a sec to help me....I did the whole thing.....he always does that!

Answer 7

I never make excuses for not doing something.  My wife and I have been married for over 30 years and when I say I'm going to do something, then I do it, though sometimes it takes longer than first expected.  Since we were married we have split the chores between us.  We used to go to the laundromat together to do laundry the first few years we were married.  When we bought our own washer and dryer, I began doing the nasty part, while she does the folding and putting away part.  We used to share washing the dishes before we got a dishwasher.  She loads it and I unload and put away, since she is short and can't reach to the top cabinets.  We share the cooking responsibilities each cooking their best things when we want variety in the menu.  We have found that working the chores as a team makes for a much healthier relationship.  That may be one of the reasons why we have been married for as long as we have been.

Answer 8

Hahah, its good to be under the thumb.

Yep, i get that all the time...

''why is the washing still out''

''ohh i didnt realise it was out''

typical example of my fella! he does cook for me though :)

Answer 9

Oh yes, this happened 12 years ago with my husband... but as I am such a nice lady I gave him some of his own medicine... forgetting about certain things which have been important for him in the same range by saying that he forgot to remind me and that I didn’t know that it was today... so I guess he simply started to listen actively to what I said… mow we don´t have this problem anymore.

Anyway, if you live in a household together over 10 years you do not have to be reminded or whatever, you simply know what you have to do and do the things when you see that they have to be done without loosing a word over it.

Stay well, things improve with the time don´t worry.

Answer 10

I have been waiting 3 years for my husband to clean the window.  Plus he hasn't finished the hall off.  I don't know why men offer to do jobs when they have no intention of carrying them out.  When they do finally get off their arses, they do the job so bad on purpose, knowing you won't ask them again.  3 times I have asked my husband to put the washing machine on and 3 times it has broken
