who shovels the snow in YOUR driveway?  

I used to shovel my own snow but had a massive heart attack that left me kinda useless in the labor area. I watched my wife shovel and couldn't stand that.

I even felt my neighbours thought I was probably some mean guy too lazy to shovel so I hired someone to do it from now on.

I can just imagine Shreks face if I woke him up for something like that, it'd have to be 8 feet deep before he reconised that I'm a girl and can't do it. lol.

He doesn't allow me some of his power tools because Im not to be trusted apparently but other than that pretty much expects me to be able to do things myself - I used to live alone so I had to.

Why would I relie on him to do it? He would not be a happy bunny at all.

it's nice if he tells her she's not to do it, but really acting helpless is a bit tacky.

Luckily we don't get uch snow in England

I don't shovel for a couple of reasons.
1. My husband insists on doing it himself. He also insists on always driving, opening my doors, etc. He's old-fashioned and I love it.
2. I have asthma and other health issues that keep me from doing any labor-intesive activities right now. When I'm in better health and we've gotten a LOT of snow, I've been out there helping him shovel.
3. If I shovel, he doesn't get to play with his snow-blower, one of his favorite toys;)

I shovel ours, or my husband does, whoever has the extra time. Or sometimes all of us get out there together and do it.
If, god forbid, something should ever happen to my husband I'd like to know that I know how to take care of these things.
My friends neighbor won't ever put gas in the car herself, makes her husband do it.

I'll be honest, my husband is usually the one that shovels the whole driveway but that is because he is up before I am. He leaves for work at 6 a.m. and I don't get up until 6:00. I get home from work before he does, so I often will shovel if there's been any snow during the day, and I will also shovel our walkway pretty often. But as far as the whole driveway, that is usually him.

I have no problem with shoveling and I think if you are physically able, you should do it. Whoever is home should do it.

Actually...we take turns. However...usually it is my boyfriend. We just had our first snowfall and my son and I could not find the shovel. When my boyfriend came home he auto matically started shovelling...I explained to him about the shovel..but he was fine with it...

I know what you mean, kitty...My husband works really hard and I like to help out as much as I can; being a stay-at-home mom and all.
When we had 15 inches in one day, just before the start of winter, I went out as a suprise to him and shoveled the walkway and a lawn path so that CJ could get on bus.
When he saw it later he really appreciated it; I had a disc removed years ago, so it wasn't that easy and my back did hurt a bit for awhile. But it was worth it to see the look on his face...lol

We sometimes have a problem at my house. I can't shovel because of health conditions. Well a little but not much. My mom has spinal stenosous, needs both knees replaced and just had a hip replacement. So shoveling for her is out of the question...she can barely clean off her car..lol My 26 yr old brother lives here but works nights. He gets home around 4am. So he will shovel when he gets hoome..but. We don't wake him up to do it later in the morning.. sometimes we just drive through it if possible. My sister in laws Uncle comes and plows but usually not right away....ahh life..

We don't get very much snow here so I don't really have to worry about it. I don't think we've ever had to shovel snow since we've been married. The driveway has been icy before but people don't work out here when the road is too icy or snowy so we just stay inside and it melts itself.

well my dad shovels the walkway, then gets out the tractor and plows the driveway (its a forth of a mile driveway lol)
i think women just dont like it. i never have. i'll get out here when its able to be swift away, but im not very able to lift a heavy shovle full of hard compacted snow. we will not do it if there is someone stronger then us to do it for us. but i would operate the tractor if i was asked. just not the shovle! lol ♣
