As a general contractor winter is typically my slow period (especially since hunting and trapping happen during this same period). I didn't work a couple of weeks this winter and made sure she didn't have any housework, cooking or cleaning to do while I was off. I'd go out at 5:30 and start her car on the chilly mornings and have fresh coffee brewed by the time she came back home. I'm working out of state now so she's on her own and not liking it!
Eh...wot?

Been one for 2.5 years now. As much as I hate not working, to lighten your bride's load means a lot more to her than you could imagine.
Even when I was able bodied I would still cook clean etc.... to help out. Marriage is a partnership not ownership.

Not so bad but the heels are tough on my legs and the apron just looks silly!

About a year ago at this time my wife broke her arm and I was doing everything which included tending the critters. Our arrangement always has been she would tend the critters (quail, horse, donkey, cats, dogs and wild birds) while I cooked and did the dishes. After the arm healed she did do the laundry and kept the house clean, I continued to take care of the critters, did all the cooking and washed the dishes. However, it was payback when I had a heart attack. Now I cook and take care of the dishes, but she does the rest. Life is great.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I am alone here, but as you all know, I spend a lot of time cleaning my house, computer desk, and above all, my oven. You cant even catch a mouse around here now.

Same here Jbyrd63. Its like her jeans are made out of something different. Hers shrink but mines not suppose to in the dryer Drives me nut the dishes get washed before they go in the dishwasher and most of the pots/pans and other cooking stuff she doesn't want in there either so it's the dish sanitizer now I guess! LOL

LOL Me too Law Dog. Just bought a new Maytag dishwasher, not a cheap model either. Still have to do the dishes before you do the dishes.

I retired August of 17 because my wife has a form of Muscular Dystrophy and needed me home. I never thought I could be a house husband, could not stand to be at home all day one day, but I have adapted. I always said I would run long traplines when I retired, I run short traplines, try to be done before getting her up at 9:00 AM. But I still do not know how to wash her clothes, but I do no how to do what I am told. For me this is payback time for all the years I could go off and do what I wanted, hunted in a lot of western states. Spent money on things guys spend money on, and she was good to me, not a trouble maker like some guys marry. I thought I would work till I was 70 but think now 62 was the right time, and like being retired, even being home way more than I ever thought possible.

i'm lucky to be able to make fairly good money from home.our arrangement began when my 2 sons started seein how much they could push mom.it ended that quick and they both turned out to be great young men.
this thought started this mornin when a gentleman tried to get me to run his quarry an hour away.wife said no before i could open my mouth.if it wasn't for the need of health ins.we would probably both be home.
i'm a truly blessed man just as you are Zim,30 yrs and we are still as close as day 1.
