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

[buds]

Both my kiddies did a standing ovation after

the video ended!! Then they said, \"Hey mum..
Can you do like that too?\"

[sashimi]

buds:

Heyya all,


Check out this mom's song!
Now ya tell me whether mum has a
choice not to make any decisions!

It's almost automatic to every mum!

PS : Sashimi, d'ya think schellen shud start singing
the instructions and decisions, instead of stick to
program mode? Wuahahahaahaa!

BRAVO!!! The standing ovation was well-deserved! :lol:

Wah, many of those lines are quite familiar to me! Some I've used on schellen before! (And of course many she used on me). DD will probably laugh herself silly with this - gotta show her this video some day!

[buds]

Heyya sashimi,


Yes! Yes! Must show!

After my girls finished watching the video
with glee... and clapping and jumping up
and down... i told them..

See! All mummies say the same thing to
their children, not just me!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Gee, I have never asked my hub the 3 questions,\" Do you love me etc..\". Maybe I should and see if I get the same reaction according to the hubby survival code. Anyway he has the advanced survival code with him: he text me regularly with short but sweet messages but that set me thinking, \"wah, you not concentrating at work or what... but on the other hand it is good that I am the source of distraction


In my case, yes, I am the one who would research, source and then let my hub know, \" Oh..I am signing XX up for XXX.\"

Reply: \"how much?\" alternatively
reply: \"again!!!!\" alternatively
reply: \"grunt\"

If I need help from hubby in tutoring the kids when I am working late or when I could only help 1 of my 2kids, I would tell him specifically, \" Can you go through .... with XX?\"
reply,\" grunt\"
But honestly, despite all the grunting, my hub is a hands-on family man.

So Misty, you have to talk to hub about your stress, not so much as in complaining,\" You didn't do.....!\"\"I am the one doing all the ...\" (even if that is true, DO NOT SAY IT THAT WAY!) If that draws blank in terms of no proactive action from him, then you plan what your kids need to do and assign hub to help specifically in that area. Sometimes he may be thinking that you are doing such a great job and decide to just leave it to you, not because he does not want to help.

Very typical of most men I have to agree. But still, there are exceptions. I think I am one of the exceptions.

Bet you, during ANY arguement,

all we need to say \"I TOLD YOU, U AGREED\",
that will end the arguement, cause men never listens,
they just \"hear\"...

Ladies, agree?
Gentlemen, any comments?

:lol:

Can't help being envious that you could do that. For me, my DH will NEVER make a decision or take a stand. He'll just have the last words on everything except making a decision. You'd think it should be good then, that I can make ALL the decisions, right? Wrong again.

For better for worse, because I will be the one who makes the decision, I will also be the one to get blamed for anything bad that comes along. \"Good things\" rarely come by in my husband's eye, cos he's such a perfectionist.

I don't mind making decisions, but I need a break. His usual last words are: \"you see lor...\" But when you decide on something and tells him so, he'll always find fault in that decision. But a decision has to be made right? Not doing anything is also a decision, right? :faint:

Yes, if you are wondering, he's one of those 'difficult bosses' at work. And one of the KS parents did mentioned once that we should get our husbands to join in this forum...Well, mine is the type who will never.

This sounds so familiar :lol: Except that our relationship is more \"business like\" where we seek alignment where cost are concerns. Eg. I intend to add 3 more courses to K1 next year and I want him to share 50% of the cost. I would do the computation and impact (we are both accountants), then i would align with him before I proceed. As he has \"short memory\" (maybe purposely), I would either send him a email to document. Every time, he make comments like when did I agree??? I would refresh his memory with the workings,etc... Also, I would get the 2 older kids as witness. Then we would all gang up \"against him\" that yes, you agreed the other day. We all heard that.

LOL And if the kids were younger, we can get them to say, \"Daddy broke promise! Daddy lied! Daddy said cannot lie so Daddy must keep promise!\" :lol:
