I have never in nearly 50 years called my OH an idiot to his face. I did today, because he qualified.

I did laugh, up my sleeve though. I got away with calling him and idiot and that old 'told ya so'. Didn't want to push my luck. 🙂

Geez Katy--would have stuck like baby pooh to a blanket...................Richo.

I shouldn't laugh Katy, but oh my, that did remind me of the great pressure cooker sausage escape saga ...
Glad the pressure cooker and everyone is okay though ....

i dont think so. its rather a case of 'its technical so naturally cos i am male cant do it wrong'
my hubby is excellent in taking directions when driving and he can even make bread. without reading the manual of the breadmaker but by merely following my instructions how to use it. i only told him once how to do it.

Just like it's hard-wired into a woman's psyche that a screwdriver is actually a cold chisel, and that it's OK to drive 10 miles to ask a mechanic why that little red oil light is on............

I recall Pea & Ham soup on the vermiculite ceiling of the cooking room at school.
I saw a few burns when someone took off a radiator cap straight after driving for a few hours.
Is he the sort of hubby that one has to clean up after he has cleaned up?
Bent knife tips - evidence of lack of screwdriver in the kitchen precint.

no. he is the sort of husband who washes the dishes every day and then wipes over the stovetop and the surfaces in the kitchen.
he is the sort of husband who cleans up after i cooked.
he is the sort of man who replaces toilet paper rolls, sweeps away his droppings and carries all the shopping bags. i can even send him to the supermarket and he comes back with the things i wanted.
no he is not gay i have tested that many times.
i think it has something to do with intelligence, devotion and being treated as a human being instead of being treated as 'an idiot because he is male'.
treat someone like an idiot and he will act like an idiot.

...sweeps away his droppings
Can't hit the litter box, eh?

Well, we already know that.........
