My sympathy goes out to the wives.

I am a modern man. (Open to allsorts of flack now). I can cook, I can iron, I can do house work, I can use a thing called a hoover. I have a forces and boarding school upbringing, Basically I can look after myself. With a forces and boarding school upbringing comes the knowledge of time keeping. I have been married 26 yrs and her time keeping has got worse, she will be late for her own funeral. Tea is burnt, the dogs eaten it ( note:- got to get a dog). Serious question :- does anyone know how to use a washing machine.

Easy, just get stuck in...

i'm a bit unsure if there is even a question in your post. or is it just a general moan about er indoors?!
as for me, I can do everything around the house, all the chores, EXCEPT ironing. I severely dislike doing it and if i'm honest, crap at it too. it's the only thing I cant and won't do.
My missus is good. She does most of the housework and we mainly walk the dogs together. I usually do the cooking and then she does the washing up. pretty fair deal.

Just about

 

[telectrix]

hmm. obviously you both been lacking in your education.

1. burn the dinner. she won't want you to cook again.

2. mix the white washing with the colours and set the machine on 90deg. she won't ask you to do the washing again.

3. chip a couple of the plates belonging to the dinner service her mother willed to her. you'll never have to wash up again.

4. what's the point of ironing stuff that creases up as soon as you wear it/lie on it/ hang it up?

I do all the washing in our house. She just can't do it right, she puts darks and lights in together and everything. I only iron what really needs doing, I just see it as a waste of time and electric! My first wife made me iron everything, even her freaking knickers, said they were more comfortable when they were ironed!

Tel
1, I cook, I like my food.
2, Tried it, I got burst eardrums.
3, We've got a dishwasher, Her idea is chuck it in and switch it on and then say it doesn't work because it comes out dirty.

He may actually have a hoover though :-/

them dishwashers are the spawn of satan. by the time you've rinsed off the heavy rfemains and loaded it all in the machine, you could have washed it, dried it and put it all away.

You sound just like my old man. That's more or less what he told me when I was getting married. The only thing you left out was when vacuuming leave obvious crumbs etc then she will get fed up doing it properly after you that you won't even have to bother.

 

[ifindoubtdont]

F******************* wrong button pressed. continuation of 3 to Tel, I re-load it CORRECTLY, hey hoe, shiny bright.
4, I really do like sharp creases. Not bat wings like some people go with, but down the shin knife edges. Any ex-army will know what I mean.
Anyway, she's back now so "I is happy bunny"

If I employed them tactics with mine...

hmm. obviously you both been lacking in your education.

1. burn the dinner. she won't want you to cook again.

I'd starve or live off takeaways.

2. mix the white washing with the colours and set the machine on 90deg. she won't ask you to do the washing again.

I'd never have anything clean to wear.

3. chip a couple of the plates belonging to the dinner service her mother willed to her. you'll never have to wash up again.

There wouldn't be a single clean item in the house.

4. what's the point of ironing stuff that creases up as soon as you wear it/lie on it/ hang it up?

What on earth is this 'ironing' you keep referring to?!?!?
