BTDT- It's quite the LB when my WH sees me flipping him off in his reflection in a window or mirror, or shadow on the wall. I'm real good at "yes, dear" but once he turns his back, uh oh, then I'm in trouble. I don't even remeber the question now...I gotta get some rest... I'll be up early (oh it is early)...give me a couple hours..) And we have the way cool buring thingy in the margin...whoo hoo!

Wow Zorweb,<BR>Your laundry and sock system is AWESOME! First of all, I confess, I do way too much for my family. I'm not only the queen of everyone's socks but I'm also queen of everyone's laundry. I need to take some serious notes here.<P>Definitely, my oldest could contribute more and I'm afraid for his future wife because I have taught him nothing but how to depend on mommie for everything. Maybe from OW/OC guilt, ya know? Plus he has had some very serious health concerns throughout his life to where I allow myself to cater to him when it's unnecessary... <P>The twins, different story. They do know their initials and the initials on the socks would be a GREAT idea to help them learn about helping mom with their laundry!!! WOW! I'm sooo inspired to delegate!!

Okay, on the serious side regarding lovebusting, I was reading something in the bible one time about how wives should honor their husbands, etc., and I just couldn't figure out what that meant. I didn't know how to bring "honor" my husband????????<P>I looked up "dishonor" because I thought I could relate to that word much better, then switched it to the opposite meaning. This is what I got:<P>"To honor my husband means to never say or do anything that would cause him embarrassment or shame--even if he deserved it."<P>Pretty interesting, huh? Actually it helps me to leave matters in God's hands. Furthermore, it's very difficult to honor someone whom you neither respect nor cherish. So I think we have to get back to the qualities that we found respectable and dwell on those, if we can, especially in the tough times.<P>OH and about the sock bucket--what if you just go out and buy a bunch of new ones to throw in there! Yeah! A REASON TO GO SHOPPING! WooHoo! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]

Yep, your post is flaming away, girl! <P>Eyes, now that you're off for a few days, and posting on MB until the wee hours, you're going to have to invest in some earplugs and an eyemask for daytime sleeping like what I use!<P>This way, all the kids can come into your room begging you for their socks or whatever, and you will not hear one peep--only the wonderful sound of yourself breathing and snoring away! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] Happy snoozing!

Eyes,<P>Ok so my strategy would not work with your H. Bet I know how to get his attention. <P>Tell him that he can do his own laundry from here on out. Now make sure you do this in the sweetest most loving way you can. Then just don't ever do his laundry again. Bet it works.<P>I know, I know I'm terrible.<P>Z

HeHeHe I loved this thread. Unfortunately I wasn't up with you. I hate that load of laundry with all socks and underwear, and I have to take out half of the socks because of HOLES. (Yes, I buy at least 6 packs, so when one gets a hole, I can keep the mate around for when another one gets a hole, etc...) Give me that load of towels any time.<P>S and I made a deal: I do laundry, but not dishes. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]
