1. Rinse a dish and leave it near the sink: Your lady will swoon when she sees how considerate you are! For bonus points, place the dish in the sink so she can easily put it in the dishwasher later.
2. Place excess trash in an organized pile near the trash can until she takes it out: Little things to make her life easier go such a long way!
3. Avoid the toilet seat debate by peeing in the sink: Lifehack!
4. Never shower so she'll have fewer towels to fold: Also, if you never wear socks, you'll never get in trouble for not throwing them in the hamper.
5. Helpfully gather all the dirty clothes and passive-aggressively place them in front of the washer: Whatever you do, DON'T actually put them in the washer. You'll probably do it wrong.

I''d likeike to counter with 12 ways to help your husband....
Rearrange the tools in his toolbox so that tt looks tidier; arrange them by size.
Put a few tools in drawers around the house so that they are more accessible.
Clean out the garage and get rid of all the 'junk' that he's been accumulating
Be kind and buy him new pillows as his favorite pillow is too worn out.
For heavens sake leave the toilet seat down! It will train him.
Interrupting him during his favorite program allows for one on one conversation!
Lay his clothes out for him so that he'll look appropriate for the dinner party because you forgot to
tell him you made plans.
Take the hassle away so he doesn't have to remember your birthday.... walk through the door and show him the new diamond ring he bought you.
Invite the girls over for girl's night and compliment him on how great he is at mixing drinks and barbecuing, it'll boost his ego.
To make things easier for him leave a 'honey do list' on the refrigerator, that way he won't forget.
Wake him up early enough so he can take the dog out for a walk so he gets his daily exercise.
Help him to lose the extra weight he's gained by buying him lite beer.
:beer:
-
I don't get it... All that seems pretty normal. :shrug:
Except the toolbox. messing with my tools *at all* are grounds for murder.
Made me laugh with the pillow. I thought I was the only one. :laugh:
And sure - leave the toilet seat down... I got good aim. Problem solved.

Over the years, I listened to complaints that my husband's friends had about their wives. Tools were frequent and I went out and bought my own tools and created my own little tool box that sits in its own place in the closet which is very convenient. I laugh now because hubby uses them on occasion rather than make a trip out to the garage.
Too funny the only offense that I am guilty of is buying a new pillow and tossing out the old one ... that was a HUGE no no!! happy77 :laugh:

You forgot "clean up his office for him" @libertybele

I am fairly handy around the house and help out where I can. Over the years, the outcome of my efforts failed to meet standards. My answer?
Whenever I can help more by doing less, let me know. Mrs. Lando tells that story more than I do.
-
I think I do a lot for @Texas Robin AND I know she does a lot for me, in spite of the fact that we only see each other a couple of days/nights a week. Most importantly we give each other SPACE in spite of how close we really are. I am so appreciative of her. She, like I, have learned a lot from past Lovers/Relationships/Marriages and put that knowledge to good use.

I bought a road box for my ex's car... and a box for the house - bought and paid by my hand. Wasn't long till she was back in my toolboxes in the shop, because she lost bits and pieces of what I bought her. It was definitely a sore point. She had no respect for my tools - The very things of my livelihood - and there was nothing for it.

Yeah... My sorry beat up pillow laid flat under all the rest of them - hidden from sight. But I have it still, even yet.
Another one that was tough was the Chair. Don't be messin with my Lazy Boy - Yes, even if it is more duct tape than anything else. Me changing chairs is like pulling teeth - And I fully understand her embarrassment with it. Everything else in the house is hers - That end table and chair, not so much.
I have a very good story about the Chair - Not with my ex, but rather, with the Georgia peach that ruined me for all women ever. Being a Southern gal, she got her way and made me like it. And pay for it too... happy77

I offered to buy my hubby one of those Lazy Boy models that lift you forward and sits up a bit higher because his back is so bad ... nope ... he opted to keep the old beat up one and built some kind of platform for it to raise it up a bit. I tried. Nope, there's not going to be any changing his mind.

This thread cracked me up. Truthfully, I was the packrat (still am) in our marriage. He was always "helping" me. :laugh:*
But the funniest thing was my SIL (newly married) cleaned out the garage. Do you remember in school when we covered cigar boxes with shell macaroni and spay painted them gold (I maybe showing my age)? Well, she didn't realize that this 30 year old cigar box with time-crushed macaroni glued to it was significant. But It Was!!! They darn near got a divorce because she threw away his macaroni box. I still get a chuckle when I think about it. Much later in their marriage they got into a heck of a row over Gorilla Glue.
*Disclaimer: I have been working like a Trojan getting rid of all "the stuff" for the last couple of months. Even I can't stand it anymore, no matter how neatly it is stored. I'm sure my dearly departed is having a hearty laugh...and my trashman hates me!

If women don't find you handsome, they can sure find you handy.
You don't physically have to be handsome to be handsome. Alot of women find men that are smart, kind, good hygiene, laughs and is honest as being handsome.
Now as far as assuming men are handy, that's not true. Some say that they don't know how to do things, but guess what, there are manuals\You-tube that can teach how to do it, a lot of people don't like to read the directions, as they think they are smart enough to do it. Yes sometimes it works out but other times they have to give in and read the instructions (it's an ego thing for both sexes), which brings up that a lot of women prefer to do it themselves, or at least try, before asking for help. :pondering:

12 ways to help a woman...1) ask if there is anything that you could help with, but if do know what help they need then do it without asking. 2)pick up after yourself and when your done eating take your dang dishes to the kitchen, without being asked to do it. 3)Telling them or give them complements on how nice the living room is or other places and the food she makes for you and family, (that's a really big deal) 4) cook or get take out, then do the dishes and clean up afterwards. 5) putting the seat down and top if possible on the toilet and cleaning the back splash from peeing. 6) help at Christmas putting and taking down decorations. 7) taking out the trash, which needs to include all other trash cans throughout the home. 8) drawing a nice hot bubble bath, including candles, music, something to drink and then let her have sometime alone. (don't let the kids DISTURB her) 9) clean or do things that are to high for her to do. (ceiling fans, lights, changing the batteries on smoke detectors, dusting and spider webs. 10) wash the
windows (inside and out) 11) clean her vehicle (even if you take it to a car wash) 12) giving her some romance (hugs, kisses, maybe a gift/surprise AND THEN make beautiful love to her (at least once a week) These things are important and I hope I was helpful. @ corbe :amen:

Excellent, @Texas Robin! As a man, a brother to Corbs, I thank you.
Now, have a glimpse into my life today:
My baby has been dealing with surgeries and stuff like being elected to Director of our GOP District. So, I've been pinch-hitting in homemaker duties. I'm primed and ready to go to cook up some good food. So, I ask her what she wants for dinner, and I get "Pop a Stouffer's Lasagna" in the oven and call it good!
So....what am I do to? Feed her the Lasagna, or force a Beef Wellington down her pie hole? Exercise my authority of being a superior Executive office holder? (We are a Holy Terror in our County Party, but they don't know it yet.)
I need a feminine point of view here.

Well, she sounds like she doesn't want you to have to be bothered with taking care of her; I'm the same way. I'm sure she knows that you're a wonderful cook.
If you are truly wanting to make "Baby" Beef Wellington ... I say go for it ... bring it to her and tell her you made it for her with love. If you've already brought up the Beef Wellington suggestion and she opted for Stouffers, maybe she doesn't have an appetite yet ... make her the Beef Wellington later.
Disclaimer: Should my advice not work out .... don't blame me .... and explode a few golf balls instead happy77

I don't know how young your baby is, but I do this a lot to family and friends, give them 3 choices of what or where they want to eat. This way you really get to pick, sort of, what you want. :0001:

:beer: Mu hunch is she'll still love ya, regardless. I had stuff out for dinner and then decided I didn't feel like cooking (not feeling all that chipper) - sent hubby to Wendy's.
I see Stouffers as a step up!

That sounds overly complicated. I mean, if you were to stick your head out of the kitchen and ask if I wanted beer or sweet tea with my sammich, I can handle that... But so long as the food is good, anything more is better left to someone more qualified.
Similar to choices if you are dressing me up for some shin dig... Left to my own, well camo is my favorite color... But lay out three ensembles, and I am likely to not understand and just revert to camo. or my big orange flowery Hawaiian shirt and a pair of jeans If I figger to dress up.
So yeah... 'Your clothes are on the bed' is probably best.

I only have to offer White, Red or Navy beans, if you demand Rice I'll fire up the Rice Cooker @Texas Robin
Just left Loews (again) to buy the adapters to make this new gas dryer work, tonight. I stopped at Arby's cause I'm too tired to cook, much less eat.

You may be under the illusion that men mature. That is largely a fallacy.
The only difference between men and boys is the size of their... feet, and the cost of their toys. happy77
