I read this article by Diane Oatis, "10 Things Husbands Should Never Do" and I went wow. I absolutely agree with everything that she noted on the list. "Guys, we love you, we really do. But as wonderful as you are, every so often you do something that makes us want to jump out the nearest window (or push you out first). Please, please, don’t ever…"
My top four from the list are:
• Be unimpressed by a meal that took a lot of time and trouble. I don’t know whose fault this is (Food Network? Julie and Julia?), but every so often we get the idea that it would be fun to make stock and spend the day basting. If the result is less than earth-shattering, say something nice anyway.
• Know it all, especially in public. Oh, honey. While you’re going on at length about whatever it is, we’re taking the temperature of the room, and we know everyone’s starting to fidget.
• Say anything remotely critical about our new haircut. Sometimes getting a new cut goes well; sometimes it doesn’t. Usually we know the difference. Don’t rub it in.
• Expect a medal for doing a little housework. Umm…it’s your house too, right? For now, we’ll give you the bronze. Maybe someday, if you work hard enough, you can pick up a gold.
If you do not want to sleep on the couch
or
be in the dog house
or
get the cold shoulder when you want some loving
or
have your mate thinking of ways to kill you in your sleep......
then please, please do not make any negative, critical, or comical comments about my top four things men should never do.
