[QUOTE="witzend, post: 137899, member: 99"] WG posted I had to give a (wry) laugh at that. I remember those talks. I'd give them a job. (By them I mean husband or the kids) Say, clean the kitchen. They would pick up the dirty dishes and put them in the dishwasher, leaving pots and pans and bowls out and dirty. Then they'd go back to the computer. I'd be making my trips back and forth doing laundry, changing sheets, cleaning the bedroom, and see the kitchen, and about the third time I'd realize that they thought they were done. I'd say "M (or husband or L) come here." There'd be a big sigh and they'd come eventually. I'd say "I told you to clean up the kitchen, not to put dishes in the dishwasher. Do the pots and pans." This would take another 20 - 30 minutes, and then an hour or so later, I'd realize there was no one in the kitchen, and I'd have gone to wash the towels in there and see crud all over the counters. "Come here." Big sigh. In they come. "Wipe off the counters, and when you are done with that, don't go back into the computer room." Stand and wait. "Now, take out the trash, and then come back to me right here." Stand and wait. "Now sweep the floor, and after you put the broom away come back to me right here." Stand and wait.

On and on and on. It didn't matter if we had this conversation once a week or once a year it was always the same. It didn't matter whether it was the kitchen or their bedroom or the living room or their car, it was always the same. The sad thing is, this is exactly how I spent the last two weekends with husband. He's a sweet man, but I will never understand how he thinks I am going to be madly in love with him when every free moment is spent like that. [/QUOTE]
