Men...Gotta Love Em'

I'm not one to bash men BUT I wanted to share some thoughts I have on them, my husband in particular. Enjoy! Oh and if I offend anyone I'm sorry, but if the shoe fits.....

  • Men are such babies when they are sick...OMG are they babies! However, if we are sick we should still get up and move around because "it's good for us."
  • Getting them to fully complete a project requires patience (on our part).They tend to start something and not finish. 
  • Having a conversation while the television is on will end in "huh, did you say something?"
  • If you can't get them to do something just start doing it yourself...they'll take over. Works every time! 
  • If you're doing something while they're around, 9 times out of 10 you will hear what you are doing wrong. 
  • When the kids ask for anything they will be told "go ask Mommy."
  • If you ask "does this look good?" be prepared for an answer you aren't going to be happy with. Sometimes the truth isn't best.
  • They will never be too busy to help out a buddy, but suddenly too tired when it's you that needs help.
  • If the kids are hungry they will more than likely not know what to feed them. 
  • Repeating yourself will get tiring but if you raise your tone while doing so it will result in an argument. 
  • Do not...and I repeat DO NOT ever tell them to "grow up" because they will get so mad. Like toddler temper tantrum mad!! 
  • When you travel be sure to save the GPS coordinates in your phone for back up.  
  • To save time decide where you want to eat BEFORE you get in the car. Otherwise there will be a game of "I don't know, what do you want?" and you'll just end up eating McDonald's. 
  • Never ask him if you need to lose weight. His mouth will say "you're fine just the way you are", but his face will say "wouldn't hurt!!" Watch the eyebrows...they don't lie! 
  • When you go shopping he will be the one that ends up with the new wardrobe. (This could just by my husband though...hence the blog name) 
  • If he's having a bad day at work it's probably best not to ask who put him in that mood. 
  • Telling him you don't want him to do something, buy something or go someplace will result in him doing it, spending more than he would have in the first place and being gone longer just because he was told not to. 
  • Never mention boys and his daughter in the same sentence...they don't like the thought of that at all!! Unless your daughter is older...we have a 7 year old and he already dreads it.
  • They can dish it but they can't take it. 
  • Threatening to tell his mother will mean absolutely nothing! 
  • Whatever idea you have will not work according to him but I'll be darned if he doesn't have the same idea later on and still take all the credit. 
  • If you really want him to listen to your advice you'll have better luck getting a stranger to deliver the message. 
  • When they think they're right just nod your head, roll your eyes and save your breath. No matter how wrong they really are. ;)

Love is spending the rest of your life with someone you want to kill & not doing it because you'd miss them.
Men are great, aren't they? We love them even with all of their faults, just as much as they love us with all of ours.
