I think it is a truism that home is where you hang your head, men are responsible no matter what happens it was their fault don't argue just accept it.

I'm puzzled though, yesterday my wife backed her car down our drive and hit my car. How did it end up being may fault she can't see properly out the back of the car. All I said was why didn't you use the side mirrors as well.:-5

You probably parked crooked, or you had your car placed so the sun was in her eyes at that time of day, or you didn't groom the yard well enough and a leaf blew and distracted her. So very many ways this could be your fault, just accept it.

I thought the saying was Home is where you hang your HAT.

I have stopped trying to argue logically with my wife, I accept it, women's minds are wired differently or something, not wrongly just different.

They remember single solitary words you spoke three years ago to back up their argument, but forget what you did yesterday if it helps their logic.

My thoughts go out to you in your hour of need.

Can you guess who it was that dropped the car down the drive so she could get hers out?

If it was her, then you should have done it. If it was you, then you did it wrong.

Well there you go then, what you should have done is drop yours out the way, then back hers out the drive and position in the correct direction. Then you place yours back on the drive out the way. Or, just let her take your car :wah:

Your post makes me think of the many differences between husbands and wives that though irritating at times, we learn to adjust to.

How only two people in a household can go through 12 glasses, 6 cups, 8 plates, 6 saucers, three pots, five bowls, 10 forks, 10 spoons, 10 table knives, 4 kitchen knives, four wine glasses and misc other kitchenware on a daily basis is beyond me. "That's what the dishwasher is for so says my wife" I am a use it, rinse it, dry it, put it away guy and when by my self hardly ever use the dishwasher. Oh, well.:wah:

I've stopped trying to argue logically with anyone at all, I accept it, everyone else's mind is wired strangely.

I count the pieces because I am the one that empties the dish washer.

I've noticed you have a strange but wonderful relationship with many on this forum. They're strange but you are wonderful or is it you are strange and they are wonderful :-3

:yh_rotfl Pet hate of mine is guests that offer to help with the washing up --No no no that's very rude. the dishes can always wait till you feel like doping them or you have no clean ones left. As I say to any relatives that are staying we like people to feel at home go and do the dishes. My mother in law always does them when visiting.

Of course It was your fault. You should have fore-seen any difficulty and parked In the next street. In fact It was damn Inconsiderate of you to park there In the first place. What were you thinking of ? Have you no consideration man ?

:sneaky: :wah:

Yeah. I accept that it was my fault the stove caught fire,even though I wasn't cooking, I had previously warned my wife that preheating oil in a pan on high was dangerous, and I had moved the fire extinguisher closer to the stove. i'm such a dumbbell.

Question from wife two hours ago. "What did you put in the garbage disposal, it's plugged up? I did not respond since I had not put anything in the disposal in a week.

I'm the same.... why do they offer? They don't know where anything goes do they? You still end up putting It all away because they have wiped the dishes and left the entire contents In piles everywhere.

I get annoyed If they wash up because I have a system. Glasses first, then cutlery. Then I change the water and do the plates, then the pans. Then I rinse everything In hot water and leave to drain and dry. Guests will wash your glasses with the pans and then you end up doing It all over again when they've gone home.

If we have people to dinner and my husband Is feeling satanic, he'll let the dog lick his plate clean In front of our guests and then turn to me and say ' Put that back In the cupboard will you love'.

Ye Gads!!! You have mis quoted me Ocsar.
