Fresh off the Bad Mother''s Day thread, thought I''d start one for fun about our SO''s.
Assuming the man (or woman) in your life is otherwise a great partner and caregiver, do you have any vents you''d like to make where you wonder HOW such a wonderful person can be so miserably bad at (fill in the blank?)
Here''s mine -
I''m constantly amazed at TGuy inability to process "hints." Normally I don''t like to make a person read my mind, but it''s become sort of an amusement to me to see if he can get ANY sort of hint at all. Like for my birthday last year, I would have loved for him to get me a Kindle. I said, "Ooh, I''d LOVE a Kindle...I could use one of those." I''m not sure he listens to me and then disregards, or if he doesn''t listen, or if he''s just dense, but he was very surprised that I was so happy to get the Kindle...from my friends who realized I wanted one when I only told them in passing if they like to read, they should buy one.
He also LOVES massages, but is horrific at returning the favor. I have to ask him directly for a backrub, and even then, it''s pretty short lived.
And he dresses my kid funny a lot.
