[QUOTE="Shari, post: 159993, member: 1848"] Busy, I think its far more common than I believed when I was younger and dumber... My husband, tho a good guy, still does the least amount possible to get by. My best friend's husband is much the same way. The only sitter that really understood wee difficult child, her husband is the same way, and they are divorcing now (this man won't even care for the kids while she works, and he won't hold a job.) I could go on and on. *** However, I know a few that aren't this way, too. My ex-brother in law. His wife is the lazier of the two, tho she's my friend. lol She went away for a week at work and he suprised her with a new bathroom while she was gone. He cleans, does laundry, watches the baby, etc. A former co-worker (male) does all the cooking and kitchen work in his home. Friends we camp with, he frequently turns down offers to join a friday night poker game cause he's got too much at home to do. I know a few more like that, too, so I know they're out there. *** I just don't know how to find one - how do you get thru the woo-ing crud to see the guy that's really under there and know you're getting a guy who really will do his part, or if he's just doing his part right now to put on a good show...? *** JoG, I love the 4 agreements. So simple, yet so powerful, at least to me. I read pieces of it often. [/QUOTE]
