Hey fwidman, are you saying I;m lazy. My wife doesn't think so, and I think she would be a better judge than you. Don't you? Thanks for your comments, and she's not going anywhere.

So really what do you do? Yes you are spoiled and I think you should be helping out. There is no reason for you not to do anything. Why don't you cook a meal once in awhile. Help celan around the house. I'm sure you know how to wash your own cloths and you should be doing them on your own. They are your cloths. Wash your own dang car and help out with the gardening. Help out with the dishes and help wash the dog. I would like to know if she does everything what really do you do sit on your butt and watch T.V.?

Hey nicholejade, can you show me in my post where I said I didn't help? Sure I help, this is just to stire, and see the reaction of myLotters. And mosst will assume that I do nothing, because of the way I have written the discussion. Actually, our life is all about sharing, and love. Thank you for your response.

No you didn't say that you didn't help but you just listed off everything she does. So people will come to conclusion that you don't help out or do anything because you didn't state that you did. Obviously people are going to misinterput this discussion because you never stated anything that you do as well as you even said that it was to give people a stir.

Hi zed, I wondered if anyone was going to ask that. Well, I used to work Saturdays and Sundays, all day, and Monday to Thursdays in the evenings, and sometimes during the day, so I provided well, and all my pay went into our joint account, so it was ours. My wife had an ATM as well, and could use our money as she thought fit. One day she bought a new gold necklace for herself, and I didn't worry, only said how beautiful it looked. We have also gone on some wonderful holidays, in Thailand and overseas. Our life is always about sharing. Thanks for your response and have a great weekend.

well,yes you must consider yourself mighty lucky. she seems to be doing the lion's share of the work. i think it would be fair for you to try and contribute some more in the daily chores of the house. and yes, take good care of her as she deserves it thoroughy.

Hi mkrishna, she does all the chored mentioned, but I do help. There is nowhere that I say she does them alone. It really was the way I worded the discussion, and it was done to see the reaction. Thank you for your contribution.

Well you're very lucky! Its hard to say if spoiled is the right word,
What do you do?
If she is a stay home mum or does the house work while you go out and work then most of these jobs would just get does while you're working but i do beleive there are somethings around the house that the man should do and enjoy doing so that us women don't have to organinse everything, some of the time its not a matter of being spoiled its just a matter of having it done a certain way so we do it ourselves so that it doesn't have to be re-done.
Its nice though for time to time to be shown that you're work it appreciated and to be spoiled too!!

Hello natie, I know I'm spoiled, but I do help with the chores. Now that I have retired, I even help her with the cooking. Actually, the post was written with toungue in cheek, as I never said I didn't help with any of the chores mantioned. Our life is all about sharing. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

She does the job. She works as a home manager and her job is very difficult.
You are very spoiled my friend. While you can work for few hours a day, come back home and rest, it takes all day long to do hers job....non of it would be my favorite....

it kind of does sound like you may be spoiled but then again maybe she is doing all t hose things because you do many equally thoughtful and considerate things for her. I hope so because that is the way it should be. if that is the case then she is not spoiled but very much loved.

you almost tricked me. you didnt say you dont help but you didnt say what you do for her. i dont blame the first one who said you are spoiled.
but am sure you deserve being spoiled if you spoil her as well. i wish you happiness all the time.

Hi tigeraunt, I did it on purpose as a bit of a joke, just to see if anybody jumped on me for being a lazy so-and-so without reading the discussion close enough. A bit of fu really, and it was fun. Our live is about sharing.

yes, you are spoiled. I don't care what you do. I am a stay at home mom, only because I am on bed rest, and my man works 6 days a week, sometimes up to 15 hours a day. And he works outside the whole time, regardless of weather, on heavy equipment. And while I do the majority of the housework, we are still a team. If I ask him to cook dinner on the weekend because I am tired of cooking, or just don't want to, he will. He also helps with the laundry, and keeping the house clean. And when my feet are swollen and my back hurts, he rubs them because he loves me. So, I hope, since your woman does all this for you, that you treat her well, because she obviously deserves it!

Hi happyness,
Yes i am very lucky, and I do help. I also massage her when required, and treat her well, because our love is mutual. Thank you for your response.

Yes indeed you are. The only thing lacking is you lying in bed and she serves the breakfast lunch and dinner for you. Make sure to pamper her since that is one rare breed. You are very lucky.

No way breakfast in bed is on the cards, because then there would be the extra chore of brushing all the crumbs off the bed before she could make it. And, yes I am very lucky!

Hey Jennyleen, I know and I love it. I never said in my post that I didn't help her. People just assume she does all those things herself, because that's all I put in my discussion. thanks for commenting.

Hi Beth, thank you for that, but actually, I assist her with the chores, as we both believe that the basis for a good relationship is sharing everything. Thank you for takong time to respond.

Yes I think so - all those things you list myself and my husband do between us - he would not dare let me do them all by myself!! lol

Thank you for sharing your thoughts frankiecesca, and neither he should. When we share everything, including chores, with our spouse, I believe we change a house into a home.

Actually Shelly, it's really a trick post. Because of the way I worded the discussion, most posple think I am a lazy so ans so. However, nowhere do I say that I don't help with all these chores. People jump to conclusions, and some think I;m a lazy ...! Actually, our life is all about sharing. Thank you for taking time to respond.

Hi mipen2006. If I just read your post and responded straightaway I would have said the same responses as others saying you are spoiled. BUT reading your follow up comments: massaging her when required, you do help her, and that your relationship is all about sharing and mutual love, oh, plus the holidays together....well, I think you are doing great. You are not spoiled but well loved by her. She deserves all those massages you give her, the help and the holidays with you. That's sweet.

Hey alicia, thank you for taking time to read it all, and not jumping on me and calling me a lazy so-and-so. In the eyes of some myLotters, that's exactly what I am; but if you asked my wife, she would respond, "definitely not!" We do share, and have a great relationship, and if more couples learned to do this there would be less violence in the world. Have a nice day.

yes you are spoiled... you are very loved by your partner that she dont want you to get tired.
i hope you do something for her to make her feel that she is loved too, like take her out all the time, go on a date. and bring her flowers, gifts. that'll make her feel she's appreciated and loved and would do more things for you...

Hi jayrene, I shore do things for her, like help her with all the chores mantioned. I didn't say she did them alone. In fact we do everything together. Our lives are about sharing and love. Thanks for your comments.

I really can't say for sure if you are spoiled or not because you only mentioned the things she does for you. You didn't say anything about yourself. Well, do you work hard to earn money? From what you said, it's possible that she does all these things because you are always working.

Ahh, angelajoy, another one who hasn't half read the discussion, and immediately labelled me a lazy good for nothing. Thank you for that. I am recently retired, and now even take my time cooking dinner. Sharing is the only to sustain a healthy relationship, and it's easy also. Thank you for your response.
