Some things just aren't worth questioning. Take it from someone who lives in an estrogen rich environment.

Sorry

Sorry

Our house is more balanced. The females don't always find everything that the males do as being funny. Sometimes, but not all of the time.

In my house, its 3 against 1. Pretty much they pat the top of my head like a hamster, bat their eyes at me, and remind me to take the trash out before I leave for work. Its a system we have developed over the last 25 years. They run the house, I just do their bidding.

When you're married for that long, you learn to find a sort of happy medium to life. Especially when mom is going thru the "big" change". Thats why I have a Harley!

Ahhhhhhh.......... that explains it!

You're 10 years ahead of us in the marriage dept. We're still figuring out "the system" that will work for us.

It took me 2 years to figure out I wasn't in charge. November 18, 1987 to be exact. Weather was cold crisp....it was the same day my first daughter was born and I realized right then - I wadn't in charge. Of course, the two bestest words in the english language that keep me alive are "Yes Dear".

When my husband and I were starting to call each other "Honey" and "Babe" and things like that, I said to him, "Please, don't EVER call me Dear". My dad and step-father said "yes Dear" to my mother all of the time and it was never said with love or any respect. It said "yes I'm acknowledging that you're telling me something and I'm tuning you out and hoping that you'll wear down, shut up and leave me alone".

So he's never said that to me. He just tunes me out, lol!

Well, that works good......in theory.

In reality, "yes dear" keeps us both in check. It works both ways, ie: when I "proposed" that I need a second motorcycle after my Harley broke down, or when she decided that new kitchen also means new bathroom AND new flooring. Its kind of funny now, but sometimes it keeps us both in check.

Thanks to Mr Mufasa - I am back in the dawg house. Seems when I started talking about the new "toy", she has five ideas on why her answer is no, and they are all on her right uppercut! Ahh well - the things that make you go hmmmmm!

RIGHT... BLAME IT ON THE PAINTBALLER!!

[Boomer]

You didn't honestly expect ME to take any blame did you?

Besides - paintballers make easy targets.

Feel your pain, Boomer, but the other way. I am the only female in my house. The significant whatever, the kid, the dog, the cat, hell, even the fish - ALL male. I'm not a girly girl too much, but every now and again it gets downright testicle-y around here. Sometimes I have to turn on Oprah just to clear the room. Better than farting, I guess, if only slightly.

[Boomer]

Testicle-y? Is that even a word?!?!

Truth be told - whenever I get that insatiable need to exert some of my testosterone, I usually hop on my Harley and ride over to this biker hangout I know that has some decent grilled cheeseburgers. Once I see Oprah on though - I am soooo outta there.
