All of you Married folks out there!

[critter crazy]

Did you ask him to set the table?

In all fairness, people aren't mind readers - and don't say "he should know better" - like I said, he's not a mind reader.

Also, how old are the kids? Can they set the table? If they are fairly young, get some indestructable plastic or corell plates. I set many a table when I was young. If this task is done before dinner is ready, then the problem should go away.

Next time he grabs one plate - give him the rest of the plates, give him a big hug, tell him how wonderful he is, and ask him and/or the kids to set the table.

It is something he has done since we have been married, and we have discussed it numerous times! It is not something he just did this one time! Hence his Nickname "One Way" .My kids have set the table numerous times. The setting of the table wasnt the real issue, the issue was that he thinks of himself first, and foremost, and that is not okay with me, and he knows it. The kids come first.

I'm not married, but the 3 of us act like a married trio (the guys are married, I'm the single third wheel lol).

Andrew grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth, so he has NO cooking, cleaning, or common sence skills at all... He thought mopping the floor was putting water on the floor & moving it around with the mop.. no cleaner, just a huge lake on the floor

He said he wanted to help me cook KD one night... I knew his skills & asked him to boil water.. he got the biggest pot & FILLED it... heres the kicker... he didn't turn the stove on

My only issue with Chad is when I have to wake up him.. today it took me 20 mins! I was jumping on his bed, play punching him, sitting on him, tickling him, poking him, back rub, pulled his ear, flicked his nose, waved the blanket to make him cold... What got him up was when I was jumping on his bed.. he was laughing, then grabbed my calves & I fell on him.. that got him up lol ok its a lot of fun waking him up, cause I love jumping on his bed, but 20 mins is a little long When I have to wake Andrew up, I walk into the room (praying they are wearing undies at least!!), then slap his leg... He gets up really fast cause he knows when I wake him up, he slept in (hes not late for work, just later then what he wanted) lol

Men
ok ok ok I know they have a huge list on me, but its all good fun
