But its nice to be needed lol

And the fact he acknowledges your superior knowledge :-D

I always have to know what to do.

A couple of times Fred and his mate have found lost purses, at least, that is what they tell me.They could be out mugging. Don't know. Don't want to know.

The purses have been brought home for me to deal with.

Fred had some cancerous skin removed. we went to the hospital to see the surgeon and he would not contribute. I had to decide how he would like to be treated.

His mate has very kindly taken on the garden for us. Neither of us has ever had any experience of gardening but I am supposed to tell him when to plant things and what to do next.

OH who has been a chef for forty years and now teaches hospitality, has to be talked through anything we cook together.

There are those who put a great deal of effort into looking like they know the bloody lot and I sincerely hope I am not one of them. I just shamble on achieving little and surviving so why would anybody think I knew anything about anything FGS?!

Sorry to be controversial but you ladies only have yourselves to blame.

We men have been told by our wife's for years that they do everything for us and do it better than us so now the response “My wife will help” has become pre programed into all men :-D


Roy

Sooo glad I live alone :-D

Carol ask your husband if he's got a broom so you can sweep the floor at the same time :-D ;-) :-D

Roy I don't tell my OH that I do everything for him and that I do it better..................no need he knows it's true :-D

But "THEY" know

If OH is confronted with a situation he will say "ask the wife" !!

I am also the designated one to take things back that arent up to scratch and do the confrontations or negotiations "as we know you can handle it and people dont mess with you "

Makes me out to be a right battleaxe and I,m not really

:-D Shirley

bit like the guy who told his wife "when I die I'm leaving everything to you" to which she replied "you already do" :-D

Oh yes, you can handle it.

Sometimes I have to go with people when they are dealing with a situation.

I never see them rushing to come with me when I am handling something.

Brilliant AnnC! I must remember that and drop it out in conversation at an approprite moment!! ;-)

HEY HE DID TAKE YOU OUT FOR LUNCH
,,,,,OR WAS IT ,,,A ,MY WIFE WILL LIKE THAT.
