I"m new to your blog, but this so...very funny. I"m new to your blog, but this sounds like about half of all husbands. There seem to be 2 types - those that LOVE the lists and even write their own. they also do things like use tape measures and levels to hang photos. And the others, like my husband, who do anything humanly possible to get out of fixing anything. My husband is a great guy, as apparently you are, but just not one of those list checker offers, sadly. <br /><br />Great blog. <br /><br />I just started a blog if you want to check it out, about how I have had to go back to work FT as my husband is out of work, he is suddenly, and somewhat reluctantly, a stay at home dad to 2 very small boys. Should be pretty funny. diaperdad.wordpress.com.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />HeatherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956266428285819380.post-45146411282095761702009-04-27T13:07:00.000-04:002009-04-27T13:07:00.000-04:00A newcomer here, I couldn't quite get out the tone...A newcomer here, I couldn't quite get out the tone of the article myself. I suppose a part of it is that I know personally a couple much like his parody. That HD list is always a bone of contention and mischief between them, a form of tit for tat manipulation and deceit, as both sides parry and step to maintain the upper hand whilst not conceding any significant ground. Alas, this is the least of their divisive issues. And so, knowing this couple as I do, I assumed from the start he was in earnest, refusing to face up to his husbandly charge to love his wife and serve her, and she to honour and help him. I wonder, considering our culture at large and even within the church how many couples manage like this and, as the war escalates and the iron pans fly rather than fry, end up dropping the utterly destructive nuclear device called divorce. <BR>It is comforting to realise this is a sendup on the typical oil-water immiscible solution far too many families will settle upon for their own marriages, er, scuse me, domestic partnerships. Or attempts thereat. <BR><BR><BR>lewstaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956266428285819380.post-63994150628282779032009-04-24T11:02:00.000-04:002009-04-24T11:02:00.000-04:00In Amber's defense, a joking tone and sarcasm can ...In Amber's defense, a joking tone and sarcasm can be extrememly hard to read in print. Add to that, each reader will usually read a story/article while providing the tone based on their personel experiences - an accumulation of those who have deeply affected them. Perhaps Amber has known too many people (or men) who indeed lived with this real mind-set, to effect the tone with which she read this - an internel voice that was not Blaine's actual voice nor his tone and intent. (I'm sorry if this is true.) <br /><br />That the experiences in the memories of many people are unfortunately of someone who actually believes that men are superior in every way, including more clever than their wives is a sad and unfortunate reality. It's the reverse of that stupid Glade commercial where the housewife sprays some air freshener then goes out for a day of pampering and fun, comes back home and pretends to be exhausted from a day of housework. Blaine's "he said" is an expose of that mentality, meant to cause readers to question IF and WHY we might have those hang-ups that do NOT bless our marriage. Humor, btw, can bless.<br /><br />Amber, I'm sorry that you misread this particular story. Blaine is actually a stand-up guy and he and his wife jib-jab at each other with these "He said, She said" articles in fun - mocking mainstream opinions of marriage relationships. <br /><br />In my observation, if Blaine was actually like this article portrays him, he would not have come to this place where he is now writing this blog or great books - he'd be too busy with dreaming of becoming a man of respect. And very busy with failing.<br /><br />Hey, Blaine! Hope you don't mind my long analysis and opinionated typing... I just happened to decide to spend my rest moment at the computer - I'm resting from work on my own "molassas-do" list...get it? Cause I'm slower! lol.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497353883350419184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-956266428285819380.post-15402590824133937152009-04-24T07:41:00.000-04:002009-04-24T07:41:00.000-04:00Amber,

So basically what you're saying is that you participate in studied, perpetual, deliberate deceit of your wife? out of sheer laziness? You might think it's okay. I mean you just got out of some pointless work, right? But how many times/for how long are you going to lie to her? Your entire married life?

She is so organized and she is a fine observer .<BR/> We don' t have a honey - do list but sometimes we make a list of things I have to do but by nature I have a slow rhythm and I use to reflect longly before to do the things . I need my mind be adapted to the perspective of the making .
