A happy wife is a happy life

I have the laziest husband ever! I cooked Green Bean and Chicken casserole last night for dinner, and we had it again for leftovers tonight. When I went back to the fridge for a drink, there lay an empty casserole dish with plastic wrap ever so neatly placed over it. "Why," I asked, "would you put an empty casserole dish back into the fridge?" His reply... "I didn't want to clean it". This is just one of the many LAZY things my husband does. I often question myself, 'I wonder if all men are this lazy?'. He isn't lazy, unless it comes to housework or something else he doesn't want to do.

If you have seen the movie The Breakup, this is my life - except we aren't breaking up. In the movie Jennifer Aniston's character says "I want you to want to do the dishes!", and Vince replies "Who wants to do the dishes?". This dialogue happens daily in my house. The point is, that no one really wants to do housework. You want to have a clean house, and to get there you have to do housework.

I have tried to just let the housework go and only do my part, in hopes that he will realize I wont do it for him. However, this never seems to work. I usually give in and do it myslf after a few days. And if he does beat me to it, he takes everything from one room and puts it into another.. nothing in it's place. Then to top it all off he asks ME where things are.

My boss gave Jeremy some advice on our wedding day. He said "A happy wife is a happy life". I laughed it off then, but now, I realize that's some damn good advice. If only Jeremy would realize ho happy it woud make me if he helped around the house; it would make his life happier because I would quit nagging.
