Changing bed linen

[Champagne]

Has anyone else noticed that women are capable of changing bedding by themselves, whereas men have to call upon their partner to help them? Why is that?

And how did men cope before they had a girlfriend? Did they have to call a friend over to help them or can we safely assume that men never change their bed linen unless they have a girlfriend?

[hotpink]

its so funny watchin my husband changing the bed linen. if there's a hard way of doing it....

[4getmenot]

I have taught my bloke how to do his by turning sheets inside out and flicking over duvet. But I think maybe before when they were on their own and couldnt call on us they used pegs to hold the corners

[missrandom]

men always seem to need help with everything. have u also noticed how they go, what i call "fridge blind", they can never find anything in the fridge!!

[mrknowall]

Apart from the obvious i don't need a women for out else lol

[4getmenot]

my bloke goes in the fridge while I'm cooking dinner!! then he looks again after. I said yesterday, 'I dont have a magic fridge that makes food appear, theres no more in it than when you looked the first time!!' :-)

Mr nutgone will sleep in an unmade bed with feathers from the pillows tickling his face (I can't STAND that!) and with the fleecy sheepskin thingy on the mattress (comes off at the corners really easily without the sheet on top - aaarrgghh!) and with a bare duvet which feels a bit scratchy without a cover on. (noooooooo!!!)

I have come to the conclusion that he knows I'll do it, so he doesn't. However, he has done it in the past and I've gone back and done it properly later, so he also knows I'm a bit fussy. Poor bloke can't win!!

Mr P can change the bed linen no problem. The only thing I have to reprimand him about is the farting in my pillowcase.

He calls it the 'Dutch Oven'

Most men have noticed that women are quite capable of changing bed linen on their own.

What on earth are you all twittering on about? I manage just fine, I cook for myself, do my own washing, my kitchen is immaculate, I put the sheets on my bed myself and I can build things with my hands, open jars and bottles with ease, lift the toilet seat up and put it down when I'm finished, avoid peeing on the floor, I don't use all the toilet paper when I go to the loo and as hunter gatherer I can protect, lift heavy bags and don't burst into tears when I break a nail. So there!

PS I also learned how to knit last week in 1 easy lesson!

Skreecheeboy, maybe you could start your own consultancy/training agency, I am sure there would be plenty of takers!

[Champagne]

And what's your boyfriend's name, Skreeche? Hahahahaha!

I like the �fridge blind� theory, Random. My ex was like that too, but with everything!! In fact, he still relies on me to find things even now!

And don�t get me started on men who are allergic to loading a dishwasher�.

[missrandom]

aah, hahaha, "whats your boyfriends name", spot on he has to be!!he sounds too good to be true therwise, and if not then i aggree with warpig, start up his own consultancey!

[Octavius]

Men could quite easily make the bed, iron the clothes, cook the dinner, take out the rubbish, vacuum the floor, do the washing and defrost the fridge. But women harp on about being so brilliant at multi-tasking and constantly yearning for equal opportunities, it only seems fair to let them get on with it, whilst we sit on the sofa drinking beer, readjusting our external organs and grasping the fundamental household chore of �Remote Control Management�.

I can assure you all I am most definately straight! Wonderful idea about starting the consultancy service but it's up to the blokes to put in a bit of effort, they all know what to do but I'm guessing their mums ran after them hand and foot when they were growing up and now they can't cope on their own, I'm afraid no amount of consultation can stop a year of failed house training. I would suggest liking it or lumping it and pin your hopes on the next generation of men growing up under your feet. It's too late now for their fathers!

[Skreecheeboy]

That was meant to say a lifetime of failed house training, not a year!

[Skreecheeboy]

And another thing Champagne, I don't fill the dishwasher because it takes longer, is more expensive to run and is bad for the environment! Only takes 5 minutes to wash a pile of dirty dishes! And of all the mixed flats I've lived in, it' always been the girls that leave the mess. I think your judgment might be somewhat blinkered by your poor ablility to find a decent man.

Will you marry me, Skreeche?
