10 Things Husbands Should Do. That's today's subject matter. Ha! Only 10? Okay, okay. I have one of the best husbands out there, and he does A LOT, but I can still probably come up with some kind of a list:
1) Hubby should always leave the kitchen in the same condition in which he found it. (*just in case you are reading, Dear, I KNOW you do lots of dishes at night. And I love you for it. It's that whole make the lunch/coffee/breakfast in the morning thing that makes me snarl out of the side of my mouth.)
2) Husbands should wipe the rim of the toilet bowl. I figure it's not me splashing there, so why should I be the one to wipe it down? (This goes the same for boy-children. Ahem.)
3) Hubs, you need to dust your desk once in a while. My duster and I don't venture into that kind of scary territory, but it still needs to be done.
4) Husbands should do the after dinner dishes. Oh wait, mine DOES that! I love that guy!
5) When asked if my outfit looks okay, a husband should know exactly when to be honest, and when to just agree. I'm sorry hon, I know that's an impossible task.
6) A husband should understand when my brain is temporarily taken over by hormones each month and nothing but crazy comes out of my mouth. Oooh, he does this, too! (99% of the time) He's a Saint.
7) Husbands should take care of all things nasty. Dead things, smelly garbage, dog poop, hair clogged drains (my gag reflex is in total overdrive just typing that)... you get the idea.
8) He definitely should take care of shower scrubbing and car washing - those are the chores I loathe. I'll happily trade dusting and sink scrubbing, which he loathes. Except for the desk - see #3.
9) Husbands should understand that once in a while, I really am too tired and sleep really is more important.
10) Hubs should greet me with a cheerful hello and a kiss after work each day. Yep, he does that, too!
I'm lucky to have him!

Your number 7 is the only reason I regret not still having a husband. Guess who gets to do that stuff now?
ewwwww
HIGH, high five to numbers 7 and 9. Love your list!
You are super duper lucky. I do the drain around here. Then again I get out of the cooking gig!
oh this was fun to read. I am going to play along this week too!
have a good week. My list could be longer than 10 things!
Wow! Your husband sounds awesome!! No wonder your son is awesome too...he's got TWO great role models. :)
And, #6...YES!!
You made this post turn out sweet! I wish and dream that number 7 be taken off of my to do list, but you have given me an idea. If I have to clean the hair out of the shower drain because it is mine, then I should never have to clean another toilet.
Negotiations begin now. Wish me luck! Ellen
Ally,
I especially like # 1 and # 2. My husband is great when he helps out w/ meals, but it's always a disaster area when he's done.
And the toilet? Don't even get me started. Ewwww!
Amen to the toilet messes. Yuck and more yuck.
Overall though, you've got a sweet deal over there. :)
I am gonna be linking up this week with this, everyone is having such fun with it all. Ugh I hate drains and I think your hubby and my hubby are long lost kin because of the desk. Yeah his is NASTY and I hate it..
I agree about the when to be honest and when to just say "You look good". My husband has not figured that out yet!
My husband claims that he will take full responsibility of the shower scrubbing since I have back issues but he never does.
But I can't complain because he does do a very good job at taking care of a lot of things around here...including my medical freak of an ass :)
My faves are - 5,7,9. It's wonderful when our husbands live up to our standards. :)
I do wish my husband would do the dinner dishes! But he does clean the drains (ick!) and kill bugs etc... guess I'll deal with shoving some dishes into the dishwasher
At this point in my life, I say husbands should do all bedtimes for kids on the weekends. :0) Your husband sounds terrific.
