Okay laidies this one is for you. Do you have a boyfriend or husband that purposly messes up stuff when cleaning so that way you wont ask him again? My boyfriend last night went to do our dishes from a dinner that i made and got our whole kitchen soaked. I have this spray nozzel that you can choose to use in my sink and he just chose to use that spary instead of the regular "flow" so water got everywhere. It was on the floor on my paper towels on my regular dish towels i mean everywhere i had to go in there and clean up after him it was a bigger mess after he was done rather than before. Now i wished i hadn't asked him and that i just done it myself. What do you do to make your man do a job and do it right?

Oh my, yes. But you know why they do it? So you won't ask again. It's like the perfect excuse. "If I do a terrible job and she complains then it's her fault that she didn't like how I did it, and if she asks again I can say No because she doesn't like the way I do it" I'm onto it though. I've lived with lots of male roommates, and most were the same way. They'd wash the dishes in lukewarm water so they weren't clean and came out greasy, sweep the floor in small areas missing the big dirt motherlodes or clean the toilet with the little scrubbrush and forget to wipe up all the pee spills that THEY left. I've just learned to lower my standards a bit, calmly survey what they've done and say something like "Hmm.. I don't think you'd eat off those dishes would you?" and make them do it again. If they start to complain about how nothing they do is ever good enough for me, I look at them point blank, raise my eyebrows and say, "You know it's not even good enough for you.. don't play games". My ex just did it to be lazy, it was a lot more convenient for him to come home to a clean house, prepared meals and folded laundry than it was to do any of it himself, so I started making meals for one, cleaning my own dishes and doing my own laundry instead of turning into his housewife. He got the hint.

But some women LIKE their boyfriends and there's little you can do to neutralize or destroy him in her mind
