Things Men Do, or At Least My Man!

“All About Husband”

I fell in love with this quirky, funny dancing, loving, kind man that yes still opens the door for me and prays with me. But oh does he have his flaws. I know I do as well but hey this is about him right? Things that you wish you would have known before you got married so that you would be prepared. For instance.

1. What is up with men going to the bathroom 3 times a day for 45 minutes? I mean come on, who really has to sit on the toilet for that long? There is no way that he is that constipated every day. I’m going to start sneaking prunes into his food. No he is not going to the bathroom to actually go to the bathroom. He is going to the bathroom to get some quiet time, or get out of doing something is more like it. Playing his game on his phone or iPad. Even though our bathroom may not be spacious and luxurious but still, he can sit there for minutes and hours. Moreover, we often get embarrassed when taps and door knobs are not functioning in front of any guest. I think we need to do a Bathroom Remodeling in the home to make it look beautiful and form a good impression of ours in the guest’s minds.

Again, the question would be the same-why do men not realize that when they get home from work, it’s time for your break from the kids and we do not want to wait another 45 minutes to get one. Now it is funny to watch when he gets up and can not walk due to his feet falling asleep. Then we both start laughing and give each other our high five and go on with our day. That is until the next bathroom break comes of course.

2. Do men not know how to change out the laundry? I mean, I know mine would never be able to spot that we might need someone like Dryer Vent Squad of Middlesex Co. to come out and clean our vent, but surely he’d know the basics, right? Wrong! Why is it that when my husband needs a certain item out of the washer dried, he does not just take the load out of the dryer and put the load that is in the washer in the dryer? No, he gets his one item out of the washer, puts it in the dryer and starts the dryer over again. I think that he does not understand that overusing dryers can call for Dryer Repair.

What the heck? How can somebody not understand the simple thing? Just take the dang cloths out and I will fold them, now I have to wait to start the next load. Which will end up getting put on hold because I absolutely hate doing laundry. I don’t even know why I hate it so much; I just think it’s just one of those jobs. From separating the colors and the dark clothes, to putting them in the wash, waiting for the load to finish, and then organizing them in the right drawers afterward, it all becomes a lot. On top of that, I also need to learn how to correctly wash elastane fabric too because I have never been able to do this right. There is a special way of doing it, and even though I don’t like laundry, I need to persevere with it. So, as you can imagine, when my husband does what he does with the laundry, I lose my flow. If I’m on a roll, I’m on a roll don’t mess with it.

So what does your man do? Or is he just like mine? If you are interested in joining in on this series, fill out the form on the Guest Blogger page and we can link to each others pages next week.
