  1-yes it's gross to let dishes pile up, but did this habit just begin or did you know she was a pig when you married her?

  2-if toilet paper & hand lotion are breaking the bank, you both need to examine your finances, because I'm sure there are extraneous items that you use more than she does as well.

  3-she wants you to be healthy so that she lessens the chance of having to care for your ailments when you're both old, if you make it that far. Judging from this list, I'm sure she gets nagged as well.

  4-if you want the bed made & she doesn't care, make it yourself. If she doesn't do little things for you (besides adding veggies to your plate), then she might not be worth the effort it takes to make a bed.

  5-you are right on & women have no right to expect their men to do things they'd never do. But how many things does she do that you don't?

  6-you're both responsible for waking up in the morning. If you don't like her snooze tactics, then get your own alarm & get yourself up.

  Ha ha ha... All of those "gripes" are either mine or his.... Mine are also, why can't he close the cupboard doors after getting a dish out, the cat will get in there?... why can't he put the bread and the peanut butter up after he is done, he always says he is going to get more but then he never does and then all the makings of a PBJ sandwich are all over the counter and sometimes out all night?

  Well, let's see where my husband stands on these:

  1) I make the bed and my husband complains that it's unnecessary and he hates top sheets.

  2) My husband hits the snooze just as much as I do.

  3) My husband leave his dishes anywhere he wants.

  4) He would agree with the meat one though.

  5) He says it's his cat so he should clean up after it.

  I would love to see the rebuttal from women. Like this.

  1) Why can't he put the toilet seat down?

  2) Does he have to leave his underwear around the house?

  3) How hard is it to realize that the guest towels are to be kept nice for company not used to mop us messes?

  4) Would it kill him to eat something healthy like a veggie once in a while?

  5) Can't he wipe up his whiskers after he shaves and not leave them in the sink?

  6) He needs to check dishes that come out of the dishwasher to make sure they're clean before putting them away!

  Yeah, the snooze one is stupid... Get up yourself when it first goes off and just let her sleep until she wants to get up. That one is not hard to fix. These all sound like things the husband thinks his wife should do instead of doing it himself. Share responsibilities like doind dishes, making the bed, walking the dog.

  Put the alarm clock on your side of the bed!

  This is my husband to the T! I keep telling him he better learn now how to take care of himself, otherwise he's up a creek. I don't have to die or divorce him for him to realize that. It is about mutual respect and love. Besides that, we have a young child to influence and raise properly. Even this small stuff shows how much you love someone.

  OMG! All of these things are so small. Did you guys never sit down and go over who will do what? And as far as the dishes go, sometimes I don't get to my dishes until the morning after (depending on the events from that night) but is that really a big deal?

  yeah right, while you are doing your one task of walking the dog, she is loading the dishwasher, making the bed, restocking the toiletries, and all of the other crap you think is her job to do. I say get off your lazy ass and help out with the chores. sorry, now that i have vented..
