True story: my ex husband and I had a big problem with housework once I stopped being a full-time homemaker and started working for pay, because that meant that he'd have to do some housework.
He suggested that instead of actually, you know, mopping the floor or cleaning the toilet or taking turns with the dishes, he'd write me a computer program that would OPTIMIZE THE EFFORT I MAKE. He seemed to think that would be just the same.
It took me another three years to figure out how to divorce him, but gosh-golly, I should have known then and there!
Haha, That cartoon reminds my of a colleague of mine, who would talk about the old her, when she thought the problem with her husband and son was that they wouldn't let her run their lives for them... She still has a strong does of that, but has gotten better.
I'm feeling you, BG! Hang tough - you're doing the right thing. I've gotten all kinds of crap for blogging too. And I'm a bad housekeeper! Happy New Year and keep on keeping on. We got yer back, sista.
Sounds like a good list. Happy New Year!

Yes. And I'd be "more of a mother if I didn't blog so much." Figuring out a whole lot here, I'm telling ya.
ReplyDeleteWell, I can't speak to that...But if you're half the mother that you are as a blogger then you're quite the mother indeed.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, BG...And thanks for all you do.
Happy New Years, BG. I hope 2008 brings you peace and happiness.
ReplyDeleteHappy 2008, BG! Thanks for giving me my resolutions. ;-p... Peace.

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
So is this a male thing? Sure I've made a list or two but then I have my list of honey doos from my wife.
ReplyDeleteHave the feeling this is not an argumnet that I can really win here.
The happiest of new years to you and yours
