And cut the grass, take out the trash, wash the car, fix the leaking faucet, replace the toilet innards, fix the worn out outlet, replace the base boards, put up the Christmas lights. Power wash the deck. And snake the hair clog out of the shower drain.

My wife does a lot of outside work, including mowing and even cleaning gutters (we have a ranch house so not too taxing). However there are tasks like hanging a picture that she simply refuses to learn how to do. She's intimidated. Same as when I tried to show her how to drive a stick shift. Not because she lacks innate ability but rather because she is simply unwilling to risk failing. So these things become 'husband' tasks and she'll leave them undone for years if I don't do them (but I would because she's good at nagging, which is her way of doing the task). Perhaps for their next article the author should write about how to "fix" women like her.

I let mr. mm hang pictures because he doesn’t like the way I would do it, so he can do it himself the first time around instead of “fixing” how I did it later.

Either way, he’s doing it. Might as well save myself the trouble.

LOL. Beats actually having to do the task.
