What can I say  :hystery:

The wife always makes the bed, the breakfast, and coffee. Sometimes she will make me breakfast or coffee and go back to bed. Especially if I am going to work. If she is out of town, the bed doesn't get made. :)  :cheersty:

Scratch head.gif Strange Question? maybe but I am asking it anyway  :hystery:

Ever since I came here Full Time it has always seemed to be MY job! Now I can see my wife's thinking on this as I am the last one out of it so it should be me But I am a lazy blighter and for me, as long as it is done before she gets home from work then to me, That's OK! But OH No! Apparently I should make it straight after breakfast when she has set off to work. My thinking is if I want to take an afternoon nap and I usually do, I will have to make it again. So after years of Working to a Pretty orderly life I hate doing a job or seeing a job done twice. To me that's Logical. I got Found out and Scolded on Sunday when she came home from Church at 11 am  and I am sat at the PC. I forgot it was Sunday and the Bed was Unmade. When we had a maid, she was never asked to make Beds, so it is Still my job and I guess it will be until I Pop Off.

As I write this she has phoned about something and she asked, have you made the bed yet? :mocking:  I Lied! (Bad I say, BAD)

 

So come on Guys, lets have the Truth here "Who makes the bed in Your House?"   :dance:  for the Ladies! Does your man do it?

12 replies to the topic in around 10 hours - impressive. But then again the subject matter has so much gravitas.

 

Seems no topic here is sacrosanct, even bedroom inner sanctum affairs are not spared by the dialectics. I feel like I know a number of you intimately enough already and I yet have to ring my travel agent.

 

 At home for me, the night before the morning I decide I don't want to be making the bed, I piss her off on purpose so she can banish me from the bedroom . . . to the couch . . . where I don't have to straighten any damn sheets.

I make the bed. She grew up having the maid make the bed, so learned to make her own bed when she was 22, after moving to Canada. My bed-making skill is superior to hers.

   I am the first one up in the morning. I make my coffee and see the girls off to college, then my wife gets up, makes the bed and makes our breakfast. If there is no school, the girls make my breakfast. Their bed gets made only on wash day. It's a jungle in there.

Ditto here....except for the shower bit. My wife has never been out of the country, thus not 'westernized'  Its a  point of pride and personal honor for her to take exceptional care of her husband, just like many-a-good-wife here do. We provide and they manage things. She won't even let me help put groceries away.... "Go. I can manage." So I just say, "OK, ko mahal." and then get a drink and retire upstairs to my computer.

   Lest you think me a lazy sod, I do put the bed mattress out for sunning, pack the 5 gal. purified water jugs for her, do all the pest control (ants, cockroaches and rat trapping... one of my favorite hobbies here). Oh yes... I also wash and lube the fans and clean the bug zappers. 

   An older, traditional wife here will sweet-treat and spoil a good husband and provider like an indulgent, spinster aunt dotes on a favored nephew. 

   Thats why we love them so much and count our blessings.

    Anyway.... that's been my good luck and fortunate situation.

Ditto, Mike ...and my wife actually is here living in the states. It may be her upbringing and working for years as a personal assistant and maid herself-not sure-but certainly not why (like most all of us) the reason we became a couple. It's (domestic preference) the comfort zone she wants. So much for the westernizing theory of Filipinas-at least in my case. I told her she can choose to work anytime she wants-maybe she goes across the grain of being "westernized" but she knows I'll jump through any hoops she asks me to. She never does-so I spoil her out of loving spite-ha ha. Oh yea-she makes the bed (hospital corners and all)

Fe says "I can do that" so I let her.  She says this about everything and is correct about 80% of the time.  If I am at home we will laugh and I will instruct her (if I know how) in her project.  If I am away and return I hear "I didn't do that"  As for the bed I read that it is better to just pull the sheet up as this will air the bedding and reduce the number of tiny monster that eat people.
