[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my brother was about to become an empty nester he and his wife decided to build a new home and part of his rationale was if she didn’t have a big project to keep her busy she would drive him nuts. From beginning to end it took about 4-5:years. Now they are building a vacation home and I swear it’s for the same reason. I don’t see them heading to divorce someday but he is spending millions to keep her busy. [/quote] What makes me shake my head about this scenario is that if she and he had priorities beyond themselves, she would take all that energy and "doing" that he seems to find irksome, and she'd expend it on volunteering or helping others or something outside herself and her nest. And he would suggest and encourage that, both to channel her energy and to, oh, help put some good out into the world. Beyond the "good" of keeping lots of builders employed. What a waste of money and time, just to "keep her busy." [/quote]
