Day of huge family birthday party for one of five children. I was doing tons of random major stuff. He goes out and cuts down a tree. This is only one example of sooooooo many things over twenty-plus years. Boys are stupid. The end.

Boys are dumb and lazy. Everyone knows this.
(Of course, there are exceptions to this rule. Apparently.)

One question: does your husband read you blog? And will he read the comments?

[...] – You guys are so funny. You know I think the TV cleaning thing is funny, right? Because it is. Like, so funny. And Mr. C cleans a mean toilet bowl, too. Share [...]

When we are having a party or packing for a trip, I make a list of things that he needs to do. And he is not allowed to do anything that is not on that list without consulting me.

This system has gone into place after years of him doing non-essential things (like painting the freakin’ grill before a BBQ) before a party.

I used to just make a list of things that needed done, but now I delegate specifics to him.

I know, this seems really harsh as I am writing it here. But trust me, men and women have completely different priorities and think different things are important or essential. And we all know which sex is right, don’t we.

You are right, but unfortunately the point is moot, beacause I think that’s a genetic male trait and IT WILL NEVER CHANGE. No matter what. I speak from experience on this one.

Possibly if TV watching was going to be on the evening’s agenda, then MAYBE quickly rubbing off finger prints and dust is okay.

But since you did not mention any TV watching, to spend the entire time cleaning the TV and THE DRAWERS (omg!)…..waste of time! Not necessary! Pointless!

Seriously…the TV? What?

Um…is this really even a debate. Hand your husband the vacuum cleaner and tell him to get to work.

P.S. I love how serious some of the comments were here. Wow. People take this TV cleaning stuff serious, eh?

I realise I am different than most, and fly in the face of the stereotype that most people are replying in reference to.

I would have walked in and hit the kitchen first. It’s the messiest, and most difficult thing to get in order. Other rooms are easy, and fast compared to the kitchen.

Sorry to shatter any illusions here – in the dark of an evening, you CANNOT SEE DUST ON THE TV.

Most guys are damn lazy. There I said it. I get in from work and immediately help. Every day. And I still feel I don’t do enough.
