OK THIS TIME I am being hard on the ladies-Are you realistic when it comes to hubby sometimes?

I know I am going to get it for this one, but here goes.

Yesterday I was having a conversation with my friend/co worker as we were leaving. She told me she was upset because she had a fight with her live in boyfriend.

It started Sunday afternoon. She was writing out thankyou cards from their son's birthday party, and on top of that she also wanted to send christmas cards. So she turns to boyfriend while he is watching a football game and asks him to help her. Of course he says no and tells her that he is watching the game and to please not bother him with that.
Naturally she got upset and an argument started. He called her a nag and this and that.

I told her that while it was not nice for him to speak to her like that, she has to realize that there are some things men are not interested in, ESPECIALLY while they are watching FOOTBALL. She set herself up for that one. HELLO the game is on down to the last second- oh yeah I really want to write a thankyou.

I told her one of the cardinal rules is to never bother a man while watching sports.

THIS MAY NOT apply to everyone but to the huge majority of men who love sports.

I said to her this is not an invitation to let him off the hook with not doing his share of the work, but to some degree you have to be realistic in what you ask him to do.

My hubby did not help write our TY;S- did I throw a hissy fit- no wrote them and sent them out. There are some things he will do and some he will not- ya gotta learn to pick your battles and deal. JMO.
