Meriwether Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 but accurate. Unless you have the correct X Y chromosome make-up you simply would not understand! I find the electric buzzer far better than the bell because the high pitched sound of the bell is "more painful than childbirth" and that IS an irrefutable fact :-) I'm sure my Dh would agree with you.;) Funny story (at least to me) on men, women, and pain: I visited a new chiropractor a few years ago and took my Dad in for an appointment at the same time since he was visiting. The chiropractor asked me to rate my pain on a personal scale of 1-10. He emphasized that the scale was based on how I personally rated the pain. I have scoliosis and frequently have debilitating headaches when my neck is out of alignment (3-5 times per week is not uncommon). I have trouble walking without limping after an exceptionally physical day. I will occasionally not be able to move for several hours and then spend several painful days loosening up my lower back. I thought about the pain level and rated it a three. The doctor, a friend of ours, nodded and said that women usually rate their pain lower than men do - often because they've experienced childbirth. After our appointments, I asked Dad how he rated his pain (which I'm sure existed but was not a chronic, debilitating pain like I live with). He rated it a 6. Obviously, he has never given birth.:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 How does your average boy, who falls out of a tree, jumps up and yells "I'm all right!!!" grow up and turn into a sniveling, whining, gelatinous blob of goo when sick? I. don't. get. it. :iagree::lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I. don't. get. it. ...because if there were other men in the house we would be just brushing it off but as our darling adoring ever patient wives are in the house we can (in the interests of sharing and having a relationship where no secrets are kept <that is what you want isn't it ladies?>) express the real agony of such an affliction. Honesty, telling you exactly how we feel...... saying things that we would never say to anyone else, real feelings, nothing hidden........you asked for it....so be glad that you have such honest and open husbands......now where was that buzzer?

brehon Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 :001_huh: I think -- no, I *KNOW* I've run this call too many times to count in my career. In fact, I had him as a patient just yesterday. Again. I'm not kidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soror Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 I cannot believe I missed this. I'm so glad to read that my dh is not the only one. It drives me bonkers. I've started telling him that he has to help when he's sick as I don't get sick days, he doesn't either. I feel horrible that I'm not more sympathetic but I'm not!

The Girls' Mom Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Meh...I have the opposite. Mr. Stoic who won't go to the doc if he is missing a limb and bleeding out. :glare: (Eh, just tie it off, it'll heal) He just gets grumpy and wants to be left alone. I should be thankful I guess..lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I never should have shown my husband this video. He now has a "man flu" and he has my 11 y/o daughter and my 5 y/o son trained to come to him every time he rings a bell to rub his forehead and say "Poor little bunny, is there anything I can do for you?" I don't know whether to :lol: or :boxing_smiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemMommy Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 :lol::lol::lol: Mine wraps himself in a blanket and huddles in his chair in front of the TV when he has a cold. From his demeanor, you'd swear he had cancer. I SO want to tell him to suck it up and be a man...but that wouldn't go over well teehee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
