My Turn?

Ditto xxxx

Tigger - not THE END! but The End ? See the subtle difference?
Don't need to look it up. It applies very appropriately to your ongoing posts.
Frozen, Beatles and Shakespeare singing from the same hymn sheet. Lovely xxx
Wishing everyone a peaceful goodnight.

Ooooh, welcome back - have missed you today Maw!

maw

Safe to come out yet?

Or the Beatle's, Let it be. ?

A song from Frozen comes to mind ...

Let it go, let it go ...

Who says THE END just because you have decided mcem. How do you know the original poster didn't need my support? Mawbroon seems well able to take care of herself and perhaps she'll think twice before taking a light hearted post out of context and delivering a lecture about those who are worse off than ourselves. This could have been over ages ago if Mawbroon hadn't spent so much time protesting too much. Look that one up "methinks.................

Well said, mcem.

I don't like to boast but I allow Dh almost exclusive use of the downstairs loo and have trained him in changing the rolls AND cleaning it!

I do the same in my/the upstairs loo.

tigger it's a new day. Op and maw seem to have settled things and left yesterday behind. Why don't you?
You overreacted and jumped to the defence of someone who didn't really need you while attacking another who didn't deserve it.
The End?

I have gone back to the beginning. The OP doesn't deserve the bashing she had.

Sorry tigger but I think you are wrong. There is nothing sanctimonious about maw and she doesn't deserve the bashing she's had on this thread. If you go back to the beginning and read it all through I think you will see that.

Has the point been missed here! It was the same for me...every little annoying job had my name on it apparently! All theses things build up when you see the other half sitting in front of the tele 15 hours a day ( not exaggerating ..I kid you not). He used to say that ''well, life isn't fair is it ?"... always said with an accompanying smirk! I quietly explained that life in the world ISN'T fair...and that's why inside your home , when the door shuts on the world ... life MUST be fair! It's all to do with balance. Stop changing the loo roll .. make sure you take a wad of tissues in with you. See how long he lasts. Why DO some women become their husbands' enablers in uselessness and laziness. You make your own burdens ...start unloading them grandMattie.

grandmattie you are just suffering from the way the male/female mind works, this has evolved over millions of years. He only wants to take on the big jobs like loading the dishwasher which is a very complex operation?!! this will mean you get left with the slightly less technical job of changing the loo rolls - sorry.

On a related (to loo rolls that is) theme ... Loo lid left up or down by DH? Mine is good and it is always in the right place for me - not so ANY other male visitors. Strange that - if anything, you would think they would be better behaved in someone else's house!

When we have people here for a meal, and there is a ton of things to be washed afterwards, I find that I end up washing most of it myself, as all the better china/glassware can't go into the dishwasher, nor can the pans! Talk about making work for myself.?

Washed!

I don't put pans in the dishwasher because they are mostly le creuset, so rust if dishwasher.

It's strange how we get into habitual jobs isn't it. And so difficult to change once you do.

and that thing men have about how to stack the dishwasher! I've taken up going over to the dishwasher and rearranging it when he's just done it, so that he can see how exasperating it can be. Although mostly I'm just fine with him doing all the stacking, so it's only once in a while and then he'll laugh! Why don't you put the saucepans in the dishwasher? That's what it's for isn't it? Then you don't have to do those. PS - consider leaving the loo roll and taking in your own roll until he gets the idea. (But only if you both have a sense of humour.) (And you have to nip in smartish if someone visits.)

On and on and on, can't you just demonstrate a little respect for the OP?

WOW! Awful lot of upset caused by a toilet roll! Just change it, life's too short. Oops, just brought us back to the deceased again! Sorry

tigger you obviously misunderstood maw's comments to serkeen it was clearly supportive and not in anyway snide. It was a post from someone who knows only to well that to have their DH home after a spell in hospital is worth changing umpteen toilet rolls.

Personally I am very blessed. My DH not only changes the toilet roll always (I never do it as I can't figure out how it goes on the holder ) but he stacks and empties the dishwasher, makes the bed, takes out the rubbish and cleans the kitchen worktops. I could rent him out for a reasonable fee

I remarked recently that the ONLY person (said in a passive aggressive way) to change loo roll in past 25 years other than me was a female friend staying over. Son, adult by then, claimed he did not know how to! Finally worked it out. I then angsted at how he had put it on the opposite way of how I like it (paper falling outside). Had to stop myself from changing it! Maybe own worst enemy!

Am I not allowed to protest AT ALL?
One protest surely is allowed?
