10 Things I need my husband to stop doing sooner rather than later:
- Putting a wad of wet clothing at the bottom of the washing basket, then dropping his dry, yet repulsive work clothes on top, and then leaving it to fester.
- Drinking all the Cordial
- Eating all the Timtams
- Bringing out his dirty filthy lunchbox from the day before AFTER I have finished doing the dishes.
- Denying me a pet.
- Shaving his head like a thug.
- Shaving our sons head like a thug without consulting me first.
- Play wrestling with the kids until he makes one cry.
- Worrying about nothing.
- Compulsively farting.
10 Things I need my husband to never stop doing – Ever
- Loving his kids like he does.
- Feeling like getting up and going to work each day.
- Play wrestling with the kids on our bed. (Yes even though it invariably ends in tears)
- Laughing at stupid stuff I say.
- Playing endless games of tetherball with every member of the family.
- Wanting to go and get me the paper every weekend.
- Having the desire to turn up to violin/choir/recorder etc etc recitals even though they are often more painful than childbirth.
- Being chief Wheelie Bin operator.
- Taking hold of my hand when we cross the road.
- Loving me.
Got any to add?

husbands are goo dvalue and worth the pain arent they? ;)
Awww - that last bit is so NICE!
Can you believe that *I* take out the wheelie bins? What's up with that?
Think I need to have a chat with Hubby.
Awwwww, well ain't that the sweetest!?
Thank God the good cancels out the bad, just like a perfect equation!
I reckon the second 10 outweighs the first :)
Hey Bern,
My man isn't my hubby yet but he is so patient with me when i ask questions - that is definitely on the "don't stop doing" list!
Wx
p.s. not sure you are allowed a pet after last time....
I so hear you on the 'shaving his head like a thug' part. My husband is currently sporting a haircut that looks like it came straight from prison. It is hideous. When in my company, I now make him wear a hat ;)
On the plus side, it means more mirror time for me, as he doesn't have to 'do' his hair ;)
I think that each of us should do a 10 things list just to remind us the good usually outweighs the bad....it's easy to forget.
To stop PLEASE
- leaving gym bag on the bench (ooh yuck)
- leaving tie on SAME dining chair every day then walking upstairs to bedroom to change clothes (HELLO)
- pushing all the wrong buttons with the kiddies and then getting upset when they are upset
Pls continue
- playing with children for hours and hours and hours on the weekends
- getting up at 5.30am to do all the family breakfasts and make the school lunches
- spend time communicating with both my parents (independently of me) because they love it so much and so many son in law points are scored that way
Love it! Might have to think up my own list and leave it lying around the house ...
That's a gorgeous list! I could imagine one similar here:
PLEASE stop:
-Leaving things lying around
- Putting red things in the wash and turning my new white tops pink
- Asking me to shave your head. Go to a hairdresser; that's what they're there for.
PLEASE continue:
- Playing with our little girl and making her laugh hysterically
- Doing all the gardening
- Hearing the toddler and the dog through the night, when I sleep through them
- Loving us!
Wow it's almost like a therapy session. You're right, makes me realise I've got a a good one :)
That is one beautiful post, Bern. Thank you.
What is it with blokes and compulsive farting ? But he holds your hand to cross the street....awwwwww.
Sigh, I think you covered most things!
What a great post! I can certainly relate to a few on both lists! taryn xxxx
*highlights 'eating all the timtams'* your man has a death wish.. hehe
I guess there are just things men will always do :D
My husband's growing a colony of bacterial friends in all the used tupperware collecting in the back seat of his car...
Liked this idea so much I did a list on my blog (duly crediting you, of course!)
Sigh, beautiful, really beautiful. I too think I'll have to steal the idea... with full credits too :)
