A recent Mens Health Peer Education magazine article showed the following:

Activities and Kilojoules burnt per activity, per 30 minutes

Ironing 260
Making Beds 290
Scrubbing Floors 840
Vacuuming 370
Gardening 630
Mowing the Lawn 840
Washing Car 483
Hanging the washing 504

But nothing for what men do ?

Found the mens one in a womens mag
Moaning favourite shirt isnt ironed while standing by ironing board 260,
Making beds messy with nightime flailing 290,
walking mud over newly scrubbed floors 840,
dropping crumbs to be vacumed 370,
digging up favourite plant you are convinced is a weed 630,
watching wife mow lawn from sun lounger & asking her for another beer 840,
Paying kids to wash car & argueing it isnt done properly 483,
wondering who hangs the washing out ,brings it in ,irons it ,and puts it all away ,so that you can casually drop it on the floor 504. :crazy: :crazy: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

No comment, but you should see the smile on my face.... :lol:


But she didn't thank me for hanging the washing out, she normally does :dunno:


Maybe she didnt notice ? I'll just nip outside and see if she brought it back in last night ...


No, it is all still out there... she may not have realised that I hung it out.
Now what do I do ?

If I bring it in, she may never realise that I did it ...
But if I leave it, she will see it at some stage, and thank me for hanging it out..

Logical answer is to leave it....


Everyone agree ?

Yes ?

OK, but to save a few dollars, we can chat at home, and she can make me a coffee when she gets in. Hope she hurries up, though.

I am getting thirsty ;)



PS: Sometimes I am not totally serious... :ecstatic:

I am either having a laugh or I am suicidal :whistle:

Why is it that you men think you need a medal for doing some housework?

Terry will often say:

I've hung the washing for you
I've hoovered for you
I've emptied the dishwasher for you
I've cleaned the bathroom for you


WHY THE FARK IS IT FOR ME?!!!!!!!!!!!!! :watchit: Am I the only one who has washing, the one who leaves dog hairs on the carpet, the only one who eats off plates, the one who pees all over the toilet eat? NO :watchit: So why is it always 'for you' like he's doing me a great favour? :she:

Because it is so hard and complex to do.

We men are not as clever as most women, and therefore need to be ....... Nah, I think i'll stop while i'm still alive .....

pmsl @ anne - I have the same arguement when mal does owt anne :yes:

when he grunts cos i dont say thanks when he does the ironing, i point out to him that he doesnt come home and thank me for doing any housework, so why should he get any thanks?? he tends to go off and sulk at that point :lol:

another thing that annoys me (oooh, ya got me going now erick!!) is that he expects me to do everything even though i work too, and do all the running about after the kids; but if i ask him to do something with my car you ought to hear the moaning !!!



I have to admit, id rather do it all myself cos that way it all gets done properly :yes: :D

That's what happens when men try to help.... complaints .... :whistle:


Actually it's the other way round here. I sort things out, my wife then re-does it, after getting home from work, and then I can't find anything the next day !!
