Why does MUM has to make all the Decision?????

[tanlengleng]

Misty:

As a FTWM, there are lots of times that I feel I am carrying the load alone.


The husband helps in ferrying the kids around but I do not feel that I get much support in other areas. If I guessed correctly, he leaves it to me since we have two girls and I am the automatic choice to deal with the \"female\" issues.

I am very tired .... but what can I do.

So, for the husbands here, your wives might be screaming for help and support and you don't even know. I wonder what the husbands will do if their wives just collaspe or give up totally ....

TELL HIM, don't hint.... TELL HIM!!!

Ha ha ha, hilarious you lot.... :lol:


OK, well... I seem to be a black sheep among men. I was and still am very interested in parenting. I think it stems partly from my interest in human behaviour and relationships, my love of girls (esp those aged 3 - 36) and I think i deal with certain respects of parenting better than my DW....

Anyway, here's what I think about the topic, why men evolved to let mummy make all the decisions.

NUMBER 1 REASON, NO CHALLENGE:

Case Study 1A:

DW: Darling, would you prefer A or B?
Me: You sure I have a choice? .... OK I like A.
DW: But if we pick A, then this-that-cannot. B might be better.
Me: If you alr picked B, you ask me for my opinion for what???? :stupid: :stupid:

Case Study 1B:
DD: Daddy, which one do you choose?
Me: Mmmm, I like the rabbit one.
DD: .... But I wanted to choose the rabbit...
Me: [sianz.....] :roll:

Case Study 1C:
DD: Daddy, which one do you like?
Me: Mmmmm, I \"like\" the blue one. [actually blue one sucks, pink one nicer].
DD: OK! Then I take the pink one! I knew you would choose the blue one!
Me: Yes sweetheart... (your daddy very well-trained by now....)


NUMBER 2 REASON

Case Study 2A:

DW: Blah blah blah clothes nag nag nag iron blah blah mess blah DW yadda yadda fish yadda nag nag nag windows nag nag blah blah blah.....
Me: [Start | Programs | Wife | Nagging Neutralizer and Voice Tune-Out Module]
DW: yaadda yodda nag blah yadda ..... So how?
Me: Mmmmmmm.... up to you lor.



I got more reasons, I write later.

I can already visualise....

Mrs CKS: Do you love me?
CKS : I love you.
Mrs CKS: Do you think I'm getting fat?
CKS : I love you.
Mrs CKS: Does this look nice on me?
CKS : I love you.

Darn... was I so transparent? Looks like I've got to start thinking of something else to say

How about
1) If I could to turn back the clock, I would still marry you!
2) I would still marry you in the next life.

Hmm, no liabilities wor ...

I do not wish to be insensitive to your problem(s), but just to digress abit, I hear those statements all the time from my mother, mother-in-law, wives, females friends and colleagues etc

I am a WFHD and do my fair share of household chores, my wife still complains and expects me to do more. Sometimes I wonder if it's human nature ...

[tanlengleng]

\"Women nature\" more likely...


BTW, what do you \"work\" as at home?

...But I lost you there when you referred to \"self-contained way\" :oops:

Sorry... I wasn't clear. As you all know, we have started selecting very good posts in the forum to be published in the KiasuParents Portal. The purpose is to highlight such posts so that it is easier for others to find, and to give credit and recognition to contributors from our midst who take the time to help others in the community. See: http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/our-kiasuparents.

What I meant by \"self-contained\" is that the post should work by itself, ie, there should be no need to refer to other posts in order to understand the full context. To retain the essense of the post, we try to do as minimal editing as possible when we put up posts as articles... we only clean up the obvious spelling errors and formatting. Once it is up, the original author is free to re-edit the post to his/her liking.

Hmm... thanks! Or maybe combine your ideas to double the effect:

\"Darling, if I climb up the chair to turn back the clock and fall and break my neck, I will still marry you in my next life.\"

Romantic enough or not har?

PS. Sorry... I'm disturbing the thread with my nonsense again. Thousand island apologies.
