I hate to paint,except on canvas, so early on in our marriage, my wife asked me to paint some shutters. I decided that i would paint still mounted instead of removing them first. I painted the shutters, part of the shrubs and some of the sidewalk ,not to mention the brick around the edges! Needless to say I was never âallowedâ to paint anything around the house again! ;o)
I know better than to put a positive spin on chores. Even working together with great music doesnât make it a party. But if my hubby wants to smoke ribs and then make a banana split while I sit backâŠwoot! thatâs a win.
We, mostly I, took that âHoney Doâ list in March when the lockdown/SIP/self quarantine started and worked on it exclusively under the condition that nothing could be added until it was finished. I limited the next list to 10 items before another list could be made. The girls coming home from university helped and we have not had a list longer than 5 items for over a month.
I thought that, too , locake: one person (YOU Janis) do the painting. If Arlo paints , too, there will be no food. You need Arlo to bbq, to reward your painting with good food.

Me thinks when Janis says âWeâ and Arlo says âIâ theyâre both talking about the same person.

I donât see how cooking can look like a relaxing weekend, unless for you it is something you donât do regularly. A bit like painting windows.

âWorkâ and âpartyâ are two separate verbs, Janis!

my wife is like Janis. I say two fun things and her go to is the list. By the way, never paint windows. Replace them with Vinyl.

When you wife says, âWhat would you like to do this weekend?â You know she already has a list!!
locake over 4 years ago
She can do her plansâ the painting, and Arlo can do his plans of cooking out. Women can paint just as well as men.

Well done, Janis.
Complaining wonât help, Arlo, but willing cooperation can bring a fine reward.

And then next week, she will want to paint them back the way they were because they look even worse now.
