For the ladies who have there own car...does DH do all your 'car stuff' like oil change, inspection..and ESPECIALLY CLEAN THE SNOW off it!!!!!!!! the other day it snowed. DH goes out clean the drive way, clears the snow off his car, and i come out to go run an errand and see my car sitting with crap loads of snow on it, and his is clean...im like why couldnt u clean my car??? and he goes well you can do it, its your car!!.. so pissed off at that attitude. i dont know my dad always used to do everything for my moms car... i guess i wanted to carry on that tradition...

but carrying over that anger...a little while later DH goes im hungryyy whats for diinner. and i said 'its your stomache, make something yourself!'

Re: DH and car stuff

eh yes and no. I like to do most of the stuff myself, like if it needs to get serviced or anything like that. But he'll do things for me sometimes. Last time it snowed well before this time he just did my car, i didnt even know so that was nice. But if i need to go somewhere and im taking the car out and dh is not around i just do it. I have to say i am proud of him bc yesterday he went to food shopping and saw this old man cleaning the snow off his car but with this piece of cardboard or something and dh ran to his car after and got his scraper and cleaned off the car for the old man, i thought that was so sweet.

But Ive also taken dh's car and one time it had a flat, i went one block before noticing and i couldve just parked it since i was a block away but i went and put air in it.

He helps but then again i do alot of it myself. I like to pump my own gas, i even refuse to go to self service lol.

Re: DH and car stuff

It depends. There have been a few times were it was freezing cold outside and DH went out and warmed up my car or its lots of snow and he took the snow off. However, there have been times were its the opposite lol. As far as everything else like inspections, oil change..yaddy yaddy...I do my own. He would do it if I asked.
