I'm relieved I'm not the only one. I'm SO jealous Tbunny that you ended up getting a cleaning lady. We've been debating about that one about as long as we've been debating the kid issue! In the end, we both decide that our house is so small it's not worth having to deal with hiring/managing someone...so it's not just him refusing to do it at least. But still, it would be nice, and they always manage to get the house looking cleaner than when I do it somehow.

I'm always wondering what went on in my husband's childhood that led to him having these antiquated expectations of women. And I wonder how it would be in my household if I had a son. I'd be trying so hard to raise him to take an equal part in dealing with the house, but then he'd have my husband as a role model which would shoot the whole plan to smithereens. Good thing we're not having one I guess. I'd probably get through the 20 years of childrearing to end up with a daughter in law who hates me because my son isn't doing enough around the house.

The wallet thing cracked me up Inglibert. At our house it's the glasses. And of course I have to help him hunt for them 50 times a day because he can't SEE well enough to FIND them (at least that's what he says). I tell him, please just put them in the same place every time you take them off, but hell will freeze over before that ever happens. Men!! (Though, like Tbunny said, I do love him most of the time).
