Lockdown lessons

[I FLY]

You did well at 18 months; we found that after 3 to 4 weeks or so the browns actually started disintegrating in hard use areas. A few rainy season wet and dry cycles may not have helped. At least it was warm.

I wore the same 3 sets of browns through my two years , 6 camps and monthly parades at my home unit. And the same boots

Never grew , gained or lost weight in those 8 years. I only weigh 4 kgs more now  40 years later

hahahaha I love how lockdown is giving okes marriage Councillor licenses too now!

 

Robbie, if that works for you, rad.

 

I prefer to go out of my way to make sure my wife is happy so that she goes out of her way to make sure I'm happy.

 

We do occasionally have words, but usually because one of us has been selfish and/or not considered the other.

 

I'm very happy knowing I make my wife happy. I did marry her because I love her and want the best for her. 

 

She is also a saint... The first few years we were together I did Expedition races and Freedom challenge and more expedition races all over the place and she stuck with me through all that despite coming home with Typhoid and a few other tropical diseases.

 

Our home is a positive, safe space which we all benefit from, especially in these quite trying, stressful times.

Oh my gaawwd what a typo

Observation...the subconscious mind is quite powerful...

 

Although, your "get out of jail card" being that the 2 letters are next to each other on the keyboard is very plausible!!!

I also love my wife, tremendously. I did not think I needed to explicitly mention all I do around the house as I was going on about wives giving their men k@k during lockdown. My rant was that I won't entertain that.

 

But what I do is wash the dishes (even after I braaied). I bath, dress, change nappies (both 1 & 2) on my 2 y.o. daughter. I wash the cars, I mow the lawn unless my wife got to it first like this morning when she was at it before 09:00 a.m. I iron my own clothes since she point blank refuses to iron anything. I help her house cleaning such as doing the kitchen and bathrooms while she vacuums and dusts. I clean up after myself, and my daughter, and I feed the cats.

 

All I was going on about was that my wife does not come bitch at me if I am  not "doing it right". If she does not like what I am doing, then she knows that all I'm going to do is step away and let her have at it herself. What I refuse to do is for her to ask me to help, and then listen to a bitch and moan session in the name of being a "whipped and domesticated metro man".

 

My pa het my beter as dit grootgemaak. Ek is man, nie 'n muis nie.

That would make sense to a rational person, I told her about this typo and post, she is not rational right now. And I need to retract my statement about not being in trouble for 2 weeks

I don't get this whole 'I'm a man so I don't know how to shop/wash/iron/etc' vibe. I mean WTF? It's okes like you that give males the k@k reputation we have. Grow up and do your share.

I'll tell you a little secret: I own a sewing machine. Not only that, I am good enough at it that my mother in law (career woman) comes to me if she wants a seam put in for a dress or a pair of pants. True story.

 

My mom gave my wife a sewing machine many years ago. She can't sew to save her life (I can't cook so save my life, except braai) so I learnt how to use it myself. I always took the machine to the same shop for a service every couple of years and they knew me well. Then they closed and I had to go to a new place. I told them what I wanted and asked that if they find anything major that needs repair or replacement, to first phone me and quote. The shop woman asked for my wifes contact number so they can communicate directly with her. I said, no, it is MY sewing machine, phone ME. She still looked doubtful, so I whipped out my phone and showed her the picture of a pair of pants I altered for my mother in law! (Asking if she was happy with the width of the turn-up.) We all had a good laugh, and I'm sure they went home and told their husbands about the weird guy that came into the shop that day, but ever since they know me by name, and don't try to deal with my wife!

 

That's about the extent of my feminine side!
