If Your Wife Wants To Take Over Taking Care Of The Lawn, Would You Let Her

Not an issue in our house. Had a year round yard service and house cleaning service for the last 10 years.

Wife has it great....no housework or yard work. However, she does make up for it by having to put up with me.

Those bushes, plants, flowers, and trees are only going to get in the way and make it harder to mow. I doubt she will actually mow the lawn and I bet she only wants to add more crap that you have to mow around.

Tablescaping? Gross. But then again, why not let her decorate a formal dining room? I consider it hers to show off. But our 10 year old table that we have positioned so we can watch TV? No way. Napkins and salt and pepper shakers. Nothing else needed.

As far as yard work... that depends. My wife is a stay at home mom. Kids take all her time so she can't get to the gym anymore. She sees 3 acres with a push mower as exercise. More power to her. But that usually means I'm stuck with dishes.

Everything in and out of our house is my domain even the garage and yard. He doesn't care unless it looks like poo. He does take care of the fertilizing but I do all the weed & pest control, mowing and landscaping. The only thing in this house that is truly his domain and I don't touch is the couch he sits on, the family room TV, his side of the bed and night stand, his sink in the bathroom, one bathroom drawer, and 1/3 of the bedroom closet, He goes to work, takes out the trash, checks the mail and takes care of finances. I rarely ask him to do anything because he works his ass off and I expect him to not have to work when he comes home.

He is lucky to have you.

By pretending to be interested, your wife not only gets you to mow the lawn, but to do it enthusiastically and defensively. She wins. My dog does the same thing when I pick up one of her toys, she suddenly gets interested in it.

Same thing with kids.

a toy stays in the closet for a month and gets ignored completely. kid finds it and plays with it. other kid comes over, finds it too, plays with it, suddenly they are fighting over a toy that was ignored for a month.

Fella is gettin' worked.

Inside, outside, and all around.

Keep holding the line though bro, that static defensive/reactive thing always works out. ;)

True story...

Wife was cutting grass (both riding and push), edging, planting flowers in her window boxes, and watering the landscaping yesterday while I watched a movie marathon (Iron Man 1 & 2, Hulk, Thor) leading up to seeing the Avengers tonight.

I was very happy to let her do it.

Ok, so the weekend pased by and as I thought there was a massive argument about the lawn and control of it. We are now actually on day two of not speaking. At any rate, I held the line and cut the grass myself, and effectively booted her out of the yard. I gotta tell ya though the fallout from the argument has been bad, first she made me take myself to the airport this morning, which sucked, and second I had to eat at McDonalds yesterday (Chick fi-a is not open on Sun. grrrrr.). For all you members of Ma'am, I am not going to give in one inch, we have to have some place in our house we call ours. I am traveling the entire week so who knows what to expect when I get back of Friday, but here is one thing I do know, my yard will be my yard......

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
