It's funny how with todays general definition of gay being as it is, that one bit of advice on being a little more to be a little more interesting sure takes on different meaning doesn't it?!

ROFLOL!!
This is more like the way it is in my house:
--Call him up around 4 PM before he leaves work and ask him what *he's* making for dinner that night.
--Dictate a small grocery list to him to pick up on the way home because I'm too lazy to drag all 4 kids to the store.
--When he walks in the door, kiss & hug him Hello, and then disappear for a while to rejuvenate after a long day with the kids.
--Clear away the clutter for him? Heck, no!! Ask him to get onto the kids about picking up their toys because *my* harping on them hasn't worked, more like it. . .
--I will say that once in a while, if I'm in a romantic mood, I'll spray a little cologne on for him, or wear something sexy for him. But not when he walks in the door. More like if we have a Date Night.
--And I loved the "be gay and interesting for him." With us, it's more like: Honey, I've been with the kids all day. Come tell me some interesting stories from work to stimulate *my* mind here, before I go nuts with the Spongebob tune in my head.
"WHO LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA?
SPONGEBOB SQUARE PANTS!!"
. . . It's amazing how times have changed in half a century. Was this really the expected norm once? I feel sorry for those wives of the '50's! We have an equal marriage here. We're Partners in Crime. We both exist to make the other one happy, it's not a one-sided thing. Funny, in church today the reading was "Wives obey your husbands" and I squeezed DH's hand and we looked at each other and both cracked up.
I'm glad I'm married to a 21st Century guy. I would have gone NUTS being June Cleaver all my life!!

This is my MIL's current existence and i'm not exaggerating on this.
LOL Tanya!! Too funny!
You know what I got a kick out of in that cartoon? The '50's outfit with the high-heels and apron. I think I'm going to dress up that way for DH one day and just freak the living bejeebies out of him, LOL! He can come home and find me in a 1950's skirty thing with pumps, hose and an apron. Where would I buy something like that? I'd love to freak him out like that! He'd probably figure I'd lost my mind. . . When he comes home, I'm usually in shorts, bare feet, a tank top, hair in a scrunchie with strands falling out, and it's been a good day if I have makeup on. . . I don't even OWN an apron!
Did these women really walk around all day in that get-up?? I can't imagine what shape their feet were in if they were in high heels all the time. And that was back in the days when there was no pantyhose. They wore the stockings with clips at the top, a garter and a girdle.
Just shoot me now!
*chuckle* I'm laughing, too, but I only chuckle right now because my mom's STILL like that. My dad was raised as the perfect little prince, and he made my mom treat him like royalty while she was Cinderella. She's starting to break out of it, but it's pretty engrained. Believe me, that type of thing may make the husband happy, but it doesn't make for happy kids with that type of household.
lol, Sofia! I hear ya, especially with the non-stop kid stuff. (Mine's Wonder Pets - Aryc walks around singing it all day, so that doesn't help.) lol :)
Thanks for the smile, Ladies! I needed that!!
You know, I was thinking bout this last night...I wonder, if this was the definition of being a wife, how many of us would have stayed single??
I know I would have.
I'm
a Gryffindor!
