Husbands are equals

In an unprecedented display...you little darlings get two posts from Mama today. Is it the weather that makes people go stupid?

Mama was on a website today, Cafemom, and a woman wanted a chore chart for not only her children...but for her husband as well. She lamented that house work wasn't split 50/50 since they both work full time.

Mama was shocked...not at the thought of things being split equally (even though we all know it is never split 50/50). Mama was shocked at the audacity this woman had to treat her husband as a child. Want to piss your husband off? Treat him like one of the kids...and Mama doesn't mean fix his breakfast for him. Mama means to literally treat him like a child. If she wanted another child then they should talk about having another child.

If she wants a happy marriage she should apply this principle:

How would she feel if the shoe was on the other foot?

Mama has been married for almost a decade and been with Daddy for 14 years. Mama would be mighty insulted if Daddy brought her a chore chart and offered reward stickers. Mama would think that Daddy obviously thinks he married a child or a moron instead of a woman.

Mama and Daddy may joke about the other being "one of the kids", but we don't treat each other that way.

Don't be your spouse's parent. Be their spouse. Treat them the way you would want to be treated.
