So my husband and I decide to tackle the "who's better than who", "who has a more difficult job", or the whole "your job is this... "conversation...oh wait FIGHT! As with all our fights, arguments or "discussions", there was much disagreement. So as I write this blog, you know during my 5pm until 7pm time slot allowed, I figure something out...He's NOT going to get lucky anytime soon!
I feel I am very easy going, very "whatever" attitude. I like my music, like my writing, like being a mom and like being a wife (although that subject has me questioning at the moment). I am definately "under-appreciated", but then again, who isn't right? I could go on and on about this, but I think it is the American way, some have the American Dream, others have the American WAY!
1. If you want something done right...do it yourselves!
2. If you love someone...they're always right...OH OK, so at least pretend!
3. compromise, compromise...SURRENDER!
4. If hormones are involved...run!
Well men, here is my valuable tip to you, quoted from psychologist, Joshua Coleman . . . "equitable sharing of housework can lead to a happier relationship with your spouse and more frequent sex,” I tend to agree as I am the WIFE, child juggling, educator, life managing, woman. I have read this before, heard this before and lived this before! What I discovered was this;
DEFINATE FACT: tired, unappreciated, not to mention insanely moody wives aren’t going to be feeling very sexy, no matter how many times you say sweet things, even the best compliments are only words...especially after an 12 hour day catering to you, the kids, her job and domestic chores. Especially true if you came home asking what did she do all day, while you "worked out " at work (at the gym ) or lay about when you got home from work. Maybe you stopped by somewhere to have a beer and unwind...I can guarantee you are coming home to a fired up woman holding a bat!
Now I suppose you could do the whole..."affair" thing, but guess what? Do you really want someone who you can't respect in the morning for all the things your wife does? If you answered YES, why are you reading my posts? Your wife does more than you know, start appreciating her for that, so she is not brunette...they make hair color for that!
