I was reading the other thread and enjoyed the memories of my own children saying funny things. But it made me think of what my husband said the other day. Let me explain the scenario. I work (full-time) and as some of you know I have been enjoying sewing/knitting a lot this past winter. So the house work has been going by the wayside. It is not on the top of my priorities at the moment. Well last Friday, I was off from work and my husband & I decided to go mushroom hunting and then try some steelhead fishing for the day. So we hurried around the house gathering things needed. We were gone all day and had a fun time together. When we arrived home, I decided it was time to vacuum the carpet. (Our dog is shedding her winter coat right now). Well my husband came into the house and gave me this funny look. So I shut off the vacuum and said "what?" He proceeds to ask, "Are we having company over?" He was lucky, I was in a good mood that day. Happy sewing/quilting/crafting

He was lucky you didn't feel lilke slapping him silly...does he know how close he came ??? I went over to my neighobrs Christmas eve.....I was wearing makeup..it was the first time in 10 yrs she'd seen me wear any...she called her kids in to look at me and asked for a camera...luckily my husband said, NO camera, no pictures....just remember what she looks like, cause you probably will never see it again. (I hate makeup....RARELY wear it and R E A L L Y hate to have my picture taken....and I have a husband whos a camera freak, with 6 and always has one with him) Chrys

I have worked full time for my entire life. My kids were involved in everything and I still like to do my sewing etc. A spotless house was not my priority although it was always livable if you know what I mean. When I did start to do a deep cleaning it was always my kids who would ask, "Who's coming over?" They are also the ones who would ask who I was baking for because I seemed to always make cookies or whatever to give away or take somewhere else for some reason. Jeke Jay

My husband thinks it is funny to ask me when I am going to get my hair done AFTER I have arrived home from the beauty salon.

I never like makeup either when I was raising my kids I didn't have time to put any on so when I wore it people commented on my looks. I hate house work. I'd rather go to the gynecologist then fold clothes and my husband has learned to deal with my messness. My house is not dirty just cluttered. Nothing in it's place. My husband's favorite thing he use to tell me was if I lost weight, "you didn't lose it just look behind you" Well after 52 pounds he calls me slim now. He can't hurt my feelings I'm too old for that. I just ignor his insults now or dish some up to him when it really gets to me that usually stops him in his tracks. |

My grandson has these pants that he loves. They are full of grease and ripped from working on his bike. They are meant for weekends only. He wanted to wear them to school this morning. I said absolutely NOT!!! His grandfather takes a quick look and says "they aren't that bad". And with that my grandson bolted out the door. I don't know who to rip apart first. MaryW

It must be a man thing Mary. This story reminded me of one that happened when I was in Junior high. My mother was getting us ready for school and she and my brother were arguing about him wearing a jacket. He left his jacket in school and she didn't have another for him to wear that was his so she was making him wear my older brothers jacket which was a trench coat and he didn't want any part of it. Well, My Dad worked shift work and came in at 7 that morning and went to bed and all this started when he was trying to get to sleep so all of a sudden the door flung open and out came my Daddy and he told my brother, "Take the D*%m coat and when you get on the bus throw the D%$ thing out the window." Well my Mother was fuming and he closed the door and went back to bed and my Brother went to school without a coat on at all. Good thing it doesn't get that cold here. I laugh at this story everytime I am fighting with the kids about putting on jackets or sweat clothes. Thanks Mary for making me laugh again. |

My favorite story on my husband: When I was married (when I was young) I didn't need glasses. But when I got to my mid-twenties I started to need glasses for reading, and things progressed until I finally had to wear them all the time. At the time this story happened (about 12 years ago) I was wearing them all the time, as I do now. My glasses had gold-colored frames, and it was time for new ones. I found a pair that I really liked with grayish-blue frames. The frames also had a differen shape than my old ones. Of course, they had to be ordered, and it was a week or so before the came in, and then they weren't right and the lenses had to be remade. Then they still weren't right, and had to be done again. It was close to a month from the time I went to the optometrist to the time I got them. Finally, one afternoon they called and said they were ready, so I went to pick them up. I drove from there to pick up my daughter from Girl Scouts. She said something like "Wow, I almost fainted when I saw you in your new glasses!" We went home and soon my son came in from school. He said "Oh Mom, you have new glasses!" I told the kids not to say anything to their father. I wanted to see how long it would take him to notice. He came in -- nothing. We chatted -- nothing. We all sat down to dinner -- still nothing. Finally I got tired of waiting and just stared at him. He looked at me and said, "Am I supposed to notice something?" Me: Yes Him: You changed your hair color? Me: No Him: New sweater? Me: NO. Finally our son started making "glasses" motions with his hands. Him: New glasses? Me: Yes. Him: Oh. They're almost like your old glasses, aren't they? Me: They're NOTHING like my old glasses. Him: Oh. Well, you don't really wear your glasses that much. Me: I put them on when I get up and take them off when I go to bed. Here's the kicker -- Him: Oh. Well, I don't really look at you that much. (Oh THANK YOU Honey! I feel SOOOO much better now!) You gotta laugh. Sparky

...or, as a friend of mine insists, although no one listens: spectacles. It's great that you can laugh!!! I think no one without a good sense of humor should be allowed to get married. At the base of most failed marriages is a woman without a sense of humor and a man who sees nothing, hears nothing, and 9 times out of 10 says nothing...talk about the 3 monkeys! They exemplify the essence of husbands. Now my husband frequently said something, mostly about how wrong I was about (you name it, whatever), or how I shouldn't have said (whatever), or why did I do (once again, whatever), or why did I NOT do (oh, well, who cares?) I looked around at my friends husbands and other men we knew, sighed and did my own things. We were married 53 years and he thought I should be blissfully happy. What he didn't know never bothered him; he thought he knew it all. So maybe it is true, ignorance is bliss! MariLynntx

Marilynn, you said it so eloquently I don't think anyone could have said it better. People can not believe I've been married for 36 years. We are surely dinosaurs in this time and age. The secret is exactly what you said, Go about your business and don't pay any attention to what they say about you. It's only their opinion, dont' make a federal case out of what they think. |

Going on 39 married years here..............I was 15 and he was 16 when we started dating. Lots of water under the bridge, good times, rough times but in the end, he is the best friend I have. That said he is also MALE and the day that I figured out that he thinks completely different than I do things got easier. He does and thinks his way, I do and think my way. It is the meeting in the middle of the two that has made it work. The man is a big marshmallow inside that loves the same things that I do for the most part. |

A few weeks ago in Sunday School, we each had to go around and say something that no one else knew about our spouse. I said my husband was playful and had never lost his boyish ability to have fun. My loving spouse...who went last, after all these other men talked about how smart and funny and wonderful their wives are...told everyone that I was a great taskmaster and made sure that stuff got done. Riding home from church that day, I said some very unChristian things to that man. Shelly Moon

Once, when my dh was telling me about my many (according to him) faults, I told him, "If you wanted some sweet, gentle, well-behaved, comformable little wife, why didn't you marry some sweet, gentle, well-behaved comformable girl? In stead of me?" He just walked out of the room! In our wedding ceremony I saw to it that I promised to love, honor and cherish, no silly stuff about OBEYING!! MariLynntx

Many years ago (over 30) I got custody of my son who was 18 momths old, I was 20. I became so nervous of the social worker assigned to my case by my divorce judge popping in I became somewhat insane with the house and all. Please remember that back then at least in our state men having custody of small children was not willing accpeted by the courts, I for one was given custody but also went on one year probation and was told a social worker would drop in unannounced. Long story short, my social worker came by twice, the second time she said do you always fix a hot lunch for your son and do you have help with the house cleaning? i said I hated giving my son a cold sandwich for lunch everyday and no, I did the house work here. She said she was wasting her time and mine by coming there and I never saw her again. I worked, went to nursing school full time and took care of a home and a small son. I was young then, Now, I am not all that particular about the house, it is onlyme now. maybe that is why I tell people i am more content now than I ever was and I would not go back in time if I could........ |

Course the DH often comes home, rolls his eyes when the dining room table is covered in fabric AGAIN, but soon that will be in my own sewing room and I can close the door and do what I want in there! This is definitely the best time of my life!

I think the worst thing Tony has ever said ( when I was feeling sensitive about my weight) was that I was his cuddly cane toad. Have you seen those things? http://www.jcu.edu.au/school/tbiol/zoology/herp/tfrg/bufo.jpg He meant it as a compliment - I burst into tears and he now ALWAYS tells me I am looking slim. Learnt that one then! He has finally stopped telling me I am doing something wrong - he has now learnt that I am doing something differently - the end is the same, the means may be different. For example - when I am cleaning the house I will be doing several rooms at once - all the wet cleaning then the dry cleaning - whereas he would do one room and then the next - so, as he sees it, I am starting one job before I have finished the first. As I see it I am running things in parallel. We are each convinced that our way is quicker. I also know if I did it one room at a time, I would stop after one room. love and kisses, Jan

Your husband cleans?? Mine just messes and then says Wow this place could use some straightening up! When I sew all day and don't get anything done he doesn't say much but if I'm sitting here on the computer and chatting with all you he looks at me as if I should be doing some work! Just kidding we get along fine in the cleaning dept but he doesn't help! I can actually do it faster on my own. He starts one thing and then finds something he misplaced and goes off to do something with it and never comes back. I think he has ADD or is very good at getting out of work! |

Jan this is so hysterical!!! DH and I have a Dyson also (the purple animal) and he vacuums our house the same way. Then he swiffers all the rooms that have hardwood floors. For some strange unknonw reason, he never quite gets around to dusting the furniture but tells me that I need to do the dusting. Not a chance I'll do it when he's the one cleaning house (dusting gets done only when I'm the one doing the vacuuming and swiffering) LOL Patsy Patsy

Yes, I have to admit the comment "you haven't dusted in here" brings the reply "neither have you". Dysons are definately boys toys. He says things like "when did you last empty this?" "last time I used it." is the normal reply - the fact that he has used, and filled, it seems to slide by his conciousness. We attempt to share the cleaning because I now work full time but this is hard for him to adjust - the girls are at college and the jobs they did around the house now fall to us both. I object to having to ask him to do something - I expect him to realise a job needs doing and do it. I have taken to now saying " do you want to vacuum or mow the lawn/cook or wash up/shop or unpack?" thereby making him realise that things need to be done. Some jobs do not get reallocated however - I still do the laundry/ironing and he maintains the cars and bikes. He gets tetchy when it is half term (as now) and he sees that I have all this time off work - there fore he shouldn't have to do jobs as I am at home to do them. The fact that he is taking time off as well seems to have slipped past him.... love and kisses, Jan

I think Dr. Phil got it right when he said you have to place the dots really close together for a man to get it. I have to always ask specifically for what I need because he just doesn't get it otherwise. I don't usually ask for much because it's just easier to do it. The reply I get alot is "Did you want me to do that right now"? No genius next year will be fine! Gotta luv em. |

Boy, after reading this thread I really know how lucky I have it. When my hubby and I married 17 years ago, he said "If you cook, I'll clean" and I agreed fast before he could change his mind! He hates cooking but he dries the dishes and does the laundry and all the other household chores except I clean the bathrooms and dust a bit (ok the computer desk and knickknack shelf, he does the rest of the house). We share the outside work, he cuts the grass, etc. and I work in my flower garden. Violet I've decided to live forever - so far, so good.

Yes, you are lucky! My hubby is great at pointing out dust or cobwebs. One time pointed out a cobweb to me and said he had been watching it for 2 weeks. I said, "well if it bothered you that much you should have cleaned it. It's not bothering me." Once when our daughter was planning a slumber party, my hubby commented that maybe I should straighten up the basement so all the little girls wouldn't think I was a bad housekeeper. I asked why would someone assume *I* was the bad housekeeper. He and DS are the ones who use the basement. I got to thinking about that one and YES most people I know will blame the wife if a house is messy. Not the husband or kids. Why is that?? |

I said, "well if it bothered you that much you should have cleaned it. It's not bothering me." Hey Bama I thought I was the only one married to a cobweb inspector (34 years at last count...oh my God, that number is getting scary!). He too watches them for weeks and expects me to be as upset about them as he is. To tell you the truth, I don't even notice them until he makes such a big fuss. On top of that, usually they're in the basement anyway and I think to myself "so WHO CARES?". On the whole though I can't complain too much, he's pretty good about putting up with my lack of housewifely prowess and pitches in on vacuuming from time to time. Can't live with 'em can't live without 'em that's for sure. Sure is great to have this forum to vent about the little things in life that make you crazy. I really feel like you guys understand where I'm coming from. |

Hi Lilac and welcome to Sew Whats New. I have a little sign in my kitchen. My house was clean yesterday. Sorry you missed it! My hubby is not fussy about housework. In fact, he is blind to it all. He is proud of what we have and he will invite ANYONE in and show them thru our home with dust, dirt or whatever. Sometimes I could just die, when there is some sort of mess that needs to be looked after. MaryW

It's funny how things WE think are messes to US are really just not seen by others. My neighbor thinks my house always looks perfect. (she just sees the new furniture.....not the piles of magazines on the coffee table or the ferret toys all over the dinningroom floor).

Violet Whenever someone tells me they are liberated and that their husband shares the cleaning I always ask if he independantly cleans the toilets or has to be asked.

My husband and I finally came to an agreement about housework. Her name is Marta and she drops by every other Friday to clean and I leave her a check. It's the easiest way to keep the house clean. I just wish I could afford for her to come every week. Now, if we could just take care of that little clutter problem, life would be perfect around here. We also came to an agreement about yard work. Alfredo's lawn service pops by every other Tuesday and does three houses on our cul de sac. Don't know why he hasn't recruited the other three or four houses and offered us a mega group discount.

My DH does much of the house cleaning so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. But, you'd think that after 24 years of marriage he would no longer have to ask if there is anything he can do to help when I'm getting supper ready. And I can't just say "set the table"; I have to detail what setting the table means. Every night. Yeah, I know, at least he asks. |

I was in a depatment store once that was very crowded with Christmas shoppers when suddenly a loud voice said: George? I said hello, she said I hardly knew you with your clothes on! LOL, she had only seen me in the office and seen me with the white nursing uniforms and never in street clothes. |
