Men and taking advice

Tweet

My man is painting the firewall right now. I am usually the one that does all the painting around here, but now he just has to do it. He asked me how he should go about it, and I tried in some length to tell him what tricks I have been using to make it look the best. He appeared to listen, but he just did it in his own way. Half way through he discovered that his method did not give a very pretty result so he asked for some input. HÆ??? I have told him how I'd do it, he ignored me, and now he wants input? I tried once again, still he does not listen. Sp now he is mad because I will not cooperate (?) and because he did not do a good job. And I know that after this he will not do any more of the much needed paint jobs because he is no good at it. It is so frustrating! He would have done a great job if he would just consentrate and make an effort. I am not some kind of nazi picking on him either. He is free to do this however he likes, but when he askes me I expect him to pay attention, and I expect him not to blame me for a poor result when he does not do his best. So, how are your men at taking advice?
