Mine does not help.. nope, not interested. He thinks I have W-A-Y too much stuff, and wishes I'd give most of it away. He doesn't cook or clean either.. but the other day my beautiful machine wouldn't work.. He is a whiz at anything electronic so tried to find the problem.. when that didn't happen he was willing to load up the machine and take me an hour and 15 minutes through bad roads packed with snow to see what could be done.. Machine did have a problem ($52.00 worth) and when it was ready he cheerfully drove us both back home and carried the machine in.. He gets a gold star anyway!!
