Two things:

1. – My b/f actually PLEADED with me once “just ASK me, cause I don’t have a clue what you need, I’ll never know. If you ask though, I’ll do it!” He’s right. And now he always unloads the dishwasher and scoops my kitty box.

2. – The thought of Wendi in Tijuana actually worries me. The idea that it involved bestiality TERRIFIES me.

Hmm, Heather, apparently our names aren’t the only thing we have in common. I like the way you think.

Somewhere in the feminist movement, amidst all the bra-burning, we neglected to say “BTW. I will no longer pick up your dirty underwear and socks off of the floor”. We’ve been screaming for equal rights and equal pay…but we’re still doing all the housework, cooking, and we delight in the fact that our hubby’s will “watch” the kids so that we can get a root canal. Division of labor is only fair and reasonable. Sure, if your spouse works for pay, you should do more of the stuff at home. But if you both work outside the home (and I’m saying hours, not dollars) it’s only fair to divide the rest.

The most important thing to remember is that it is not “help.” Help is when you make the mess by yourself but ask him to work with you to clean it up. He’s at least half the problem, so he needs to step up and DO HIS PART. You are not a maid service. There’s nothing wrong with expecting him to participate.

And yes, you’ll have to keep reminding him.

It also helps to remember (this is very important) that men actually lack the gene that allows them to realize something is a mess. They need you to be their seeing eye helper. True story.

The bestiality line made me think of something I once saw in Tijuana. Thanks a lot for that memory, Heather.

hahahha! I love your reasoning.
I actually do less cleaning around the house than the fiance. Then again, we’re not married yet, so we’ll see what happens then.
