A womans work is never done...

Managing Real Estate Broker with Windermere Peninsula Properties

 I had to share this poem that Paul Henderson posted just one more time. I loved it and I have to say I have taken the advice to heart. It is true what they say...  a mothers work is never done, and then it becomes the responsibility of the wife!-LOL

He didn't like the casserole
 
And he didn't like my cake.
 
He said my biscuits were too hard...
 
Not like his mother used to make.
 
I didn't perk the coffee right
 
He didn't like the stew,
 
I didn't mend his socks
 

The way his mother used to do.
 
I pondered for an answer
 
I was looking for a clue.
 
Then I turned around and smacked the crap out of him...
 
Like his mother used to do...

I think a good complementary poem would be one I memorized long ago, by Ogden Nash:

 

ADVICE TO HUSBANDS:

To keep your marriage brimming,

WIth love in the loving cup,

Whenever you're wrong admit it;

Whenever you're right, shut up.

That is sooooo  cute!  My boyfriend laughed so hard and voted this as a feature.

Who am I to argue? 

It's now featured on the Dodo Bird group. 

Thank you!

My wife can't cook.   My mother can.   My wife doesn't clean house.  My mother does.  I didn't marry my wife because she could cook or clean, I married because she was about the furthest thing from my mother.   She is witty, smart, and OMG can she play the piano.  Oh....btw my wife has never slapped the crap out of me and of course my mom has.    But I love them both.  Guys that compare their mothers to their wives are fools in my book.   My mother gave birth to me.  My wife gave me life!!  I thank God and the Universe for each!

Jim- That is so sweet. I am nothing like my mother in law. I have to say though that his mothers cooking will always be his favorite. I just have to do something new. -Dinah Lee
