I do what&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I can by diplomatically reminding her

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; before&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; she goes to bed. 
 
Another&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; symptom of ageing is complaining, I&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; think.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; That way,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; she won't have to rush so much.

I like to think&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; tact 
 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; is one of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; my strong points. 
 
When doing simple jobs, she&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; seems to think she 
 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; needs&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; more rest periods. She had to take a&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; break 
 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; when she&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; was only half-finished mowing the lawn. 
 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I tried&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; not to make a scene. I'm a fair man. I&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; told 
 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; her to&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; fix herself a nice, big, cold glass of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; freshly 
 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; squeezed&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; orange juice, and just relax for a&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; while.

I&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; know that I probably look like a saint in the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; way

[QUOTE="mikew_RIP, post: 434400, member: 14174"] I may have posted this before but its just been sent to me again [COLOR=#3333FF] [/COLOR][B][COLOR=#1F497D]ADVICE FROM A RETIRED HUSBAND It is important for men to remember that, as women grow older, it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as when they were younger. When this becomes apparent, try not to yell at them. Some are oversensitive, and there's nothing worse than an oversensitive woman.[/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=#3333FF] [/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=#1F497D] [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=black] [/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=#1F497D]My name is Ron. Let me relate how I handled this situation with my wife, Carol. When I retired a few years ago, it became necessary for Carol to get a full-time job, along with her part-time job, both for extra income and for the health benefits that we needed. [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][/COLOR] [TABLE] [TR] [TD="width: 870"] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]Shortly after she started working,[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]I noticed she was beginning to show her age.[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]I usually get home from the golf club about [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]the same time she gets home from work[/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=#3333FF] [/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=#1F497D] [/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=#3333FF] [/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black] [/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=#1F497D]Although she knows how hungry I am, [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]she almost always says she has to rest [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]for half an hour or so before she starts dinner.[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]I don't yell at her. Instead, I tell her to take her[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]time and just wake me when she gets dinner[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]on the table.[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]I generally have lunch in the Grill at the golf club, [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]so eating out is not an option for us in the evening.[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]I'm ready for some home-cooked food when I walk[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]through that door. She used to do the dishes [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]as soon as we finished eating but now it's not [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]unusual for them to sit on the table for several[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]hours after dinner.[/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=#3333FF] [/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=#1F497D] [/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=#3333FF] [/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=black] [/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=#1F497D]I do what I can by diplomatically reminding her[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]several times each evening that they won't clean[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]themselves. I know she really appreciates this,[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]as it does seem to motivate her to get them done [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]before she goes to bed.[/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=#3333FF] [/COLOR][/B][B][COLOR=#1F497D] Another symptom of ageing is complaining, I think.[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]For example, she will say that it is difficult for her[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]to find time to pay the monthly bills during her [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]lunch hour, but chaps, we take them for better or [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]worse, so I just smile and offer encouragement.[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]I tell her to stretch it out over two, or even three days.[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]That way, she won't have to rush so much. I also [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]remind her that missing lunch completely now[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]and then would help her figure.. I like to think tact[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]is one of my strong points. When doing simple jobs, she seems to think she[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]needs more rest periods. She had to take a break[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]when she was only half-finished mowing the lawn.[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]I tried not to make a scene. I'm a fair man. I told[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]her to fix herself a nice, big, cold glass of freshly [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]squeezed orange juice, and just relax for a while.[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]And, as long as she is making one for herself, [/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]she might as well make one for me too. I know that I probably look like a saint in the way[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]I support Carol. I'm not saying that showing this[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=black][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#1F497D]much patience & consideration is easy.
