And men to most of the yard work, home improvement, etc.

We are built for different things. My bride complains that she has to pick up after me, and I complain that she won’t fill her car up with gas and mows the lawn wrong.

So we do what we are good at. Ironically I prefer to do the laundry.

LOL! Well, I do fill my own car, but I've pretzeled so many mower blades Dear Hubby keeps a spare on the wall of his shop with 'Honey's mower repair kit' written on it.

I don't know your wife but I'm bettin, that she's the type that always leaves the toilet seat down, making you have to raise it every time you want to pee.

I do all the cooking, dishes, cleaning, laundry, ironing. I just mowed the yard in the Gulf coast heat and humidity. A month or two ago I painted the exterior of this house. I changed out all the door knobs and drawer pulls and knobs, and hinges in the house. I changed out the exterior lights, three of them. I helped repair and replace the master bedroom ceiling fan light. I planted huge flower beds which are dying off in the heat, so am I, and I just replanted them this week. I wash the windows. I am getting ready to clean out the garage and it is a huge one 30 x 30 ft. Normally my husband mows but I did it today. He works long hours at his job and has to commute an hour each way. So I don’t mind doing all the work around here.
