Helping your wife in the kitchen never ends well in my experience.

Why are you helping Jims wife in the kitchen?

It's a bit much rubbing his nose in at as well on here, saying it doesn't end well!

Brings a whole new context for “Snow on the Sperrins”…

Might be a bit radical but have you considered helping her from 7pm? That might cut down the pottering time.

Are you new to the marriage game?

32 years service pal. During that time I have learned that it's a good thing to look after your children or do the dishes.

Whatever works.  I'm at this moment taking in the washing and folding it.  Later tonight I'll take our 10-year old for our nightly walk to give the wife a bit of alone time.

Have a good day there pal.

I’ve instituted a rule whereby I don’t watch anything with a plot with the wife.

@Jacksgranda give it your best.

As above it just me telling folk to get a grip.

i'm a work then play sort of guy.

Do what you do, just do it right on my watch, when you walk out the door, I don't give a shite (if you have outside problems, speak to me), probably the the best boss you would want.

At least the coffee table didn't get as much wine over it as it would have otherwise:

Sat down for lunch with her yesterday, which we don't usually do, and there was a gameshow on the telly.

She asked if I'd seen it before and i explained that i'd once seen about a minute of it. 

Spent my whole lunch break explaining that i didn't know how the game worked because she kept saying "What do they have to  do? I said what do they have to do? Don't shoosh me- I'm only asking what they have to do" every time the estate agent looking gadgie started explaining anything. 

Apparently Echidna was a wrong answer but not impossible and that's a good thing. No idea why. 

Future lunches will be in front of the computer while i "work" i think.

While watching our 3 year old. She is unable to do any fucking tidying or washing up of the shite she uses/leaves lying around.

She will say something that I don't quite catch, so I'll ask her to repeat herself which she will do... but at exactly the same pitch and noise level that I couldn't hear her at the first time. Sometimes it'll be worse and she will repeat herself facing away from me (if we are doing the shopping or something and she is walking in front while I push the trolley).

Like, evidently I couldn't hear you the first time, hence the reason I asked you to repeat yourself, so fucking turn round and speak a little louder when you say it again 

I had a deaf flatmate for a while. He’d lost his hearing at 16 so he still spoke really well and both his parents were hearing so he’d gotten excellent at lip reading. This unfortunately meant half the time you forgot he was deaf and he needed to lip read you and would go about your business while in conversation. 
 

‘mate, what you up to on Sunday’ 

‘probably spaghetti bolognaise I think’ 

(‘huh?…oh f**k…)

Never wanted to correct him because it was your fault, not his, but it did mean you’d have about 12 different conversations in the space of one conversation
