DH believes in magic

Is he another like the man in that Aussie Youtube video?

I suspect he could be the inspiration behind it

There was a Victorian concept of Woman as the "angel in the house", presumable responsible for keeping everything magically ticking over - he is a crypto-Victorian!

Lose the "crypto".

He actually BOUGHT Christmas cards?! - you have a gem there - hang on to him!

Or did he order them on line?

It just may be that your DH and mine were separated at birth ?

Make that triplets?

Ordered on line natch!

How come strong,articulate women like you have never put your foot( collective feet?) down and refused to cater to such ditsy men? I would never have stood for it !

It's the same in our house, there is a magic box in the kitchen where all our meals come from. My husband knows how it works - it's not just ditsy men ladies

Oh DH isn't ditsy but was brought up between boarding school and life in a household where my dear MIL as a good diplomat's wife ran a smoothly oiled operation. FIL did not concern himself with domestic matters and MIL was a "traditional" wife of her generation and a brilliant hostess.
We started off equitably enough before the babies came along . But then it was my own fault in the early years of parenthood when I was at home with the little ones and he brought home the bacon. For the last 30 years he has had serious health issues so has the perfect excuse now!
Anyway, we all know the fairies do it

is there a link to the Aussie Youtube video?

Is this why your name contains the word broom?

I would not wish an injury on your DB but sometimes a DH suddenly finds out that he can cook after all (or at least M&S does an easy alternative!).

on you
not on your

Thanks for the background info, DB. It explains how a man who believes in magic is created....
It is true that the mother of sons determines what kind of husband they will be. I was lucky as my dear MiL insisted that her only son , in turn, did the same chores as her two daughters so, when we married, my husband could cook and iron his own shirts, which was more than 20yr old me, still a student, could or wanted to do. We have always shared chores as we both have always worked. Our son is the same.

If my husband had not been as he is, I would never, ever have survived raising 4 children!

I'm very proud of my DH - he posted our cards!

Mine has sampled the mince pies.

Someone's got to do it!

That is noble merlotgran I take my hat off to him!
