men are from mars......
Generally speaking of course, why are men unable to change an empty loo roll, why do they leave dirty socks in balls all over the house and why can they only do one thing at a time? Equally why are many men so keen to mow the lawn? Why do they happily wash up but never change sheets or clean the loo? Why can't they smell when the tumble dryer has well-and-truly tumbled your lovely wash? Why don't they shut the curtains and put the lights on when, clearly, it's dark out there?What is the big deal about the Simpsons, Robot Wars, Scrapheap Challenge and Star Trek whatever? Love you lots though boys. xxxxxxxx

She used to hang so many clothes on the back of her dressing table chair, that if you just brushed past it, it would all fall backwards onto the floor. Saturday mornings were a nightmare trying to get her to tidy her room - so invariably, I used to end up doing it! She now has two children & her own home to look after - but it always looks so neat & tidy! She even wears Marigolds! Bless her!
My other half is v. similar to Smudge's and think it's all about finding common ground. If my man moaned about everything but still carried on doing it, then I wouldn't change so maybe that's why they don't. Sit down, talk and be sensible. I said from the begging that I was not in the relationship to do everything and if we shared we'd get more time together to enjoy each others company. I generally do the cooking as I like cooking and then he does the washing etc. So I don't really care what state his socks are in.
But I must say one thing that always puzzles me is that he replaces toilet paper and always puts the seat down. But for some reason he always thinks that the bag in the bin magically re appears after he's emptied it. But I don't mind as I know he helps with many other things.
But why is it that he can't answer me a simple question like "do you want a cuppa" if he's doing something. Are men really that focused that the hearing shuts off ?
Oh and bny the way I am a very good map reader even though I'm a woman. Much better than him any way.
happy_face & oxeyedaisy - My husband has always been quite a tidy, helpful, considerate person.
When he was a lad, his Mum was always quite poorly, so he used to help with the shopping, etc. Sadly, she died when he was only 14 years old & from then on, he & his Dad used to share the chores. They always worked really well together, which put him in good stead for the future, bless him.
I think living with someone like that makes you grateful later. I am a bit of a fanatic though,when I get in through the door I have to clean the flat and dishes and put washing on and start supper before I go to the loo and have a shower.
I just can't relax if the place is a mess. OMG and I can't leave it for longer than a day because I end up with tumbleweeds everywhere argh!!!
As for reading maps I am very good and Mister Little K is very bad, he can't drive anywhere unless I am co pilot.LOL yes we pretend it's an aeroplane too!
He calls me his sat nav, pain in the neck because I can never have a nap if we are going somewhere new.
