Thought for the Day

Ladies, when you come home and your loving husband has done the dishes, scrubbed the kitchen, vacuumed, swept, and mopped all of the floors, done laundry, cleaned the bathroom, and gotten your child ready for bed the appropriate response is not to get embarrassed and say ‘I was going to do that.’ Just accept what has been done and move on with your evening.

This falls into that ‘I know you’re capable, but you shouldn’t have to’ thing I’ve expressed. Irish Woman is capable of being a domestic goddess when the lines of time, energy, and responsibilities converge, but it’s not her main purpose. Just because she’s capable of doing all of those things better and more quickly doesn’t mean she should always do them.

    I’ll always settle for a hug and a kiss and “thank you” … Well, from MrsZ anyways. Not from you, DB.

    I think a lot of women would love to come home and find their loving husband has helped with the domestic chores. We don’t expect the help, so when we do get it, it’s a huge deal.
