Are we married to the same man as me Smileless? They sound remarkably similar…

We're --old fashioned--traditional in that I do everything domestic - cleaning, washing, ironing, food shopping, cooking, etc. He does the garden, repairs in the house, sees to the cars.

Division of labour VANECAM. The way to go. Practised in this house though I’m not sure the division’s equal! If I tried to look at a broken household appliance it would become incapable of resuscitation.

My DH is the same.. No patience at all.. He knows I will laugh, so aways after he's lost the plot he says go on laugh after I have started laughing he joins in laughing too as he knows he's been a pillock

Well I do know how to change a plug but don't, I leave that to Mr. S. who does vacuum but never irons or uses the washing machine. He does load the 'washing up machine' as he calls it, though.

Germanshepherdsmum Who cares? grin I'm alright

VANECAM I don't even know how to change a plug, I'm not interested. He doesn't use the iron, vacuum or washer.

I’m trying to understand why you didn’t look at the machine yourself.

Surely we should be aiming for equality and self sufficiency.

Half a bottle of Baileys? Bloody hell. Are you sure he’s shouting at the dishwasher?

Good for yougrin. I wonder why so many men seem to be incapable to doing a practical job without swearinghmm.

Mr S. can turn the air blue with expletives and I either laugh or ask him to stop swearing with a few expletives of my owngrin.

Our dishwasher broke weeks ago, and my husband has at last decided he'll look at it to see if he can see what's wrong.

He's shouting and swearing to himself the whole time, shouting "Oh f**k off" to himself, etc. I've had about half a bottle of Bailey's so am feeling relaxed a bit drunk, and somehow find it all so funny - every time he shouts and swears, I laugh more.
