Okay sisters! Sound off!

I have no idea where I was when this started but I am jumping in. 

My conclusion when men can't find things is because they don't move anything out of the way to see behind, they just look straight into the cupboard and if they don't see it first thing then it must not be there.

I just higher a hubby. Lols.

Well if you met my guy.

He thinks his so perfect.

He thinks he is the antz pantz.

I am glad after a few cokes &southern comforts that I get through the day. Lols.

I can tell ya were I'd be if I didn't get married.

I guess we all live in dreams to escape reality sometimes.

[bagwell1987]

Gabe it was said "you can't live with them/when you can't live without them you hire the job done"  I just meant hire someone to do the job you need done, not hire a hubby.

Although that said I don't think I'd trade mine in for anyone else.

It was a joke. all tongue & cheek,

 

But we do have a service in Aussie that is a mostly for handyman work. 

Just the way I feel at times. You know I went & got my nails done last week. I expected a woman to do them.

But no to my suprise This muscled up dude sat down in front of me & did them. I told my hubby he didn't even budge an eye.

I was like what no emotions. come on. I was hoping he might have had some feelings in that he want to sit near me. 

[bagwell1987]

NO WAY!! hire a hubby?? That's so FUNNY!! No wonder you said what you did, it makes sense!

I wonder what the going rate is? I need someone to clean out the garage and mowing season is just around the corner. I bet you don't have to fight the rent a husband for the remote!

Husbands are deposited and Rented here !!!

 

[julieandken]

I have been married 3 years and I don't know what my husband did before I came along.  The man can't find anything and it will be right on top of things.  Yes, I do move things sometimes but I will tell him where it is and he still can't find it.  I think he's doing it just to see if I actually know where it is.

ok I found this article and took out some sentences that weren't necessary to try and shorten it up. This is down to earth, not comical but very true. 

Relax Stu and enjoy. 

 

Ben is sensitive and tries hard to please Miriam, but when there's a problem that needs to be dealt with, he seems oblivious. When she asks for input on a decision, he says, "It's up to you." He wants to be nice but he doesn't realize he's frustrating her.

 

I understand why Ben is unsure of his role. Every few years, the media tells us new ideas about what a man should be. For a while there was "sensitive new age guy." Then there was "metrosexual" and advice that men need to develop their feminine side.

 

I've heard married men advise younger men that the key to a happy marriage is: "Yes, dear." I've received emails filled with jokes that ridicule men -- like what's the difference between a man and fine wine? Wine matures.

 

On television, we've gone from Father Knows Best, where the father was a wise caring man who could do no wrong, to Homer Simpson, a buffoon who can do nothing right. In a recent survey in Canada by the research firm Ipsos-Reid, more than 25 percent of fathers aged 18 to 34 identify with Homer Simpson when they're talking to their kids about a difficult subject, and almost 20 percent of adult children in the same age range associate their own father with Homer.

 

Then I went to the Bible. I started with Adam -- the first man in the world who was in a relationship. Adam was alone. He wanted a wife. He asked God for a wife and God created Eve to be an "ezer k'negdo" -- a helper opposing him or a helper against him (Genesis, 2:18). (This person is using a Jewish Bible)

 

A helper against him? What in the world does that mean? (quote from the Talmud), "If the man is worthy, the woman will be his helper; if he is not worthy, she will be against him."

 

If a man works on himself and develops himself to be worthy, the woman will be his partner. If he doesn't, she will be against him.

 

The message: It's up to the man to make it work. It's his responsibility. Stop blaming others. If a man works on himself and develops himself to be worthy, the woman will be his partner. If he doesn't, she will be against him.

 

What happens next in the world's first relationship? Adam and Eve are in the Garden of Eden. They have one commandment: Don't eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge.

 

Eve eats it and then she gives it to Adam. He eats it. Then Adam hides in the bushes and God asks him: Adam did you eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge that I commanded you not to eat?

 

What did Adam do? Did he take responsibility for what happened?

 

No. He says to God, "The woman you sent me gave it to me and I ate it."

 

Does blaming his wife (or God) help Adam avoid responsibility? God doesn't say, "Adam, I understand -- she pushed you into it. You're not responsible for what happened." Just the opposite. He punishes Adam for eating the fruit, and for not using his own judgment.  It's significant that one of the first lessons in the first chapter of Genesis is about what a man should be in a relationship.

 

Lesson #1: Take responsibility

Learn from Adam. Don't do things you know are wrong and then blame others. If you make a mistake, take responsibility for your actions. One of the meanings of the word "husband" is someone who skillfully manages his household. A manager takes responsibility. As Adam experienced, there is little sympathy for a man who blames a woman (or God) for something that has gone wrong. He's often still held responsible. People will ask him, "Why did you let it go on?" A man has to look at himself and see how he can change his own actions to properly handle similar situations.

 

Lesson #2: Show leadership

If a man wants to be seen as worthy and have a good relationship with a woman, he has to show leadership. When he sees a situation that needs to be dealt with, he should step forward and handle it. People admire those who step forward to handle difficult situations. We don't admire those who stand back and wait for others to solve the problem.

Some men avoid taking the lead because they don't want to be criticized. They think they're playing it safe. A man should say, "I'll handle it," and take the initiative to find solutions. If he's not sure what the solution is, do what other leaders do -- consult the many sources of information available.

 

Lesson #3: Make decisions

One of the meanings of the word "manly" is being decisive. A man needs to make decisions and take responsibility for the outcome. If he's reluctant to make decisions, she may resent him. Part of making decisions is understanding the other person's views and being flexible. She doesn't want someone controlling her, but she also doesn't want someone who leaves every decision to her. A man who is afraid of making a wrong decision should ask himself: Who should make decisions? -- someone who isn't afraid of making mistakes.

 

Lesson #4: Be strong

The Talmud asks: Who is strong? He who can control his passions (Ethics of the Fathers, 4:1). Someone who can control his anger is better than a physically strong man who can conquer a city. Blowing up in anger can seriously damage a relationship. If a man thinks he can't control his anger, he should imagine being angry at someone, the telephone rings and it's his boss. Would he calm down? Of course, or he'd lose his job. Not getting angry doesn't mean he accepts bad treatment; he calmly sets limits on the treatment he accepts from others.

 

Lesson #5: Be manly

Being manly is not being macho. Manliness is the positive qualities of decisiveness, strength in one's convictions, confidence, self-reliance, high moral qualities, self discipline, honesty and integrity. A man who is manly has courage to be able to deal with difficulty, pain or danger without backing away despite his fear.

Deenna, Deenna, Deenna.......how awesome was that! I don't understand why many men are afraid so they defer to their wives. Not right and make it frustrating for us because it's not our role to play. It'll be interesting to see a perfect marriage in the new system.

What is she doing outside in the rain? Shouldn't she be in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant?   

 

You know, since we're indulging in stereotypes...
