thescrappyhomeschooler Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Does your dh ever treat you like a secretary? Dh just asked me to put some letters together into a larger envelope and get them in the mail to his brother today. I just looked at him like he was crazy and said, "I'll tell you where the big envelopes are, but I'm not going anywhere today." I think he's just so used to bossing the "girls" at work around, that he expects me to be like them. Also, we were discussing what he wanted me to pack in his lunch because he's trying to eat healthier, and no, he won't pack his own lunch. I mentioned packing leftovers, and he vetoed that because then he would have to heat them up. I reminded him that there was a microwave in the lunch room at his office, and he lamented having to walk all that way :nopity:! At the look I gave him, he said, "Dear, my laziness knows no bounds!"

Belacqua Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I don't get too many secretarial duties, but I am occasionally conscripted into proofreading service. My husband is a magazine editor, so he'll draft any literate body at deadline time. I'm completely unfamiliar with the subject of the magazine, which actually makes me a better proofreader (as I don't get caught up in the articles and forget to look for errors).

Rosie_0801 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Nup! I send my hubby to the post office during his lunch hour so I don't have to drag my tots down to do it myself! Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2cents Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 No secretarial duties here. It is more the opposite. I have my dh doing my errands. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I'd be more bothered by being expected to pack his lunch everyday than I would by being asked to mail some letters now and then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virg Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 :lol: My brother will be EXACTLY that kind of DH! At least yours admits it :) My brother admits it too and usually it adds to his charm enough that I give in and do it. I feel badly for his poor DW (when he finds one), my mom and I have spoiled him horribly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 The thing is, if he had asked me in his "Dear, will you please do me a favor" voice instead of his "Type up this letter and get it in the mail to the client today" voice, he wouldn't have received the look from me. Also, it would have helped if he hadn't asked the question just after I had come inside to take a break from pulling weeds, raking leaves and gathering sticks from the yard, while he had just come inside to take a break from lying in the hammock! :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
