[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I got married, my mother told me the story that her mother told her.  When my grandparents were newlyweds, her husband (my grandfather) cleaned the kitchen floor on hands and knees with rags instead of the mop.  Grandma corrected him, told him the right way to do it - and he never cleaned the kitchen floor again.  Lesson learned.  From then on, she kept her mouth shut and he did lots of other stuff around the house.

Guys may do it differently.  They may do it better or worse, more efficiently or less. Whatever.  Express your appreciation.  And keep your mouth shut.[/quote]

This is so problematic. Why are some men so fragile that they can’t be told a better/easier/more efficient way to do something without completely shutting down and refusing to ever do that thing again? No I’m not going to complain that my husband loads dishes the opposite way than I do. It doesn’t really matter but if he’s hand washing the dishes every night because he’s never used a dishwasher, and I tell him “hey honey, let me show you how to use the dishwasher”, he wouldn’t take that as a personal slight. It’s teamwork. We teach each other things all the time. [/quote]
