Men suck!!! That's for sure....LOL They don't even have a clue. I cleaned the carpet in the family room yesterday and last night hubby fixes him something to eat and walks in the family room with it. I'm like...."what the he** are you doing? You spill any of that after I cleaned the carpet I'll clean your clock buddy." Needless to stay he turned around and went back to the kitchen.

He the one I have most trouble with. Peanut shells in the recliner and then they fall through to the floor underneath. Spilled a glass of milk in the family room before....all over the end table and the carpet and well just too much to list. You'd think he'd learn, but NOOOoooo.

Sorry, here I go again, but men are jokes! I ever get rid of this one, I'll never have another one.

I can handle a lot, seriously.... my mom always said, men are big babies... one thing i learnt from her, is not ever to spoil them so much, dont run after them, like their nanny.

Some days i wanna tell him * GO BACK TO UR MOTHER*

He's spoiled! He calls and you go running around cleaning and vacuuming. No, no, no!

Next time, just surface clean and don't worry about it. I know that we all think the cleanliness of our homes is a reflection of who we are, but I never find myself inspecting exactly how spotless anyone else's house is. As long as it's reasonably neat, that's basically all I see. That's all anyone will see about your home too.

I've learned to just straighten up before I have a party. The guests usually make somewhat of a mess, and then I clean that up. It works beautifully, and I'm always complimented on how lovely my home is.

I get so sick of people who think a messy house reflects that the woman in it is at fault! Everyone in a household is making choices and prioritizing in ways that affect the mess - even when they don't think they are the ones making the mess. And a messy house means life is happening there, being lived, loved, explored. If the kitchen and bathrooms are clean and no one can trip over anything and break a leg - well that should just about do it!

As for showing off the new features - why? With business associates that is awfully invasive of family personal space IMHO. But that's me...

Men for sure do know how to make our hair stand on end. Sometimes it makes me laugh, other times cry....This is why they invented wine.

Toodles - I promise, most men just DON'T get it, bottom line. LOL

I think they are pretty much all alike in this regard. My hubby has taken people into rooms that to me would have been off limits. When I asked him why, he just did not get it either. Me..."But the bed wasn't make!!" Him...."So, they weren't there to see the bed!" It's sooo frustrating.

Actually, I don't know if they are too oblivious, or we are too sensitive, but we do feel that we are judged as women by how our home looks, whether it is clean and neat. Most of us work outside the home just as many or more hours that our husbands do, so why do we put this pressure on ourselves??? Times have changed and then in some ways they haven't.

Confusing and contradicting society we live in!!!!
