I must be strange... I'd rather do it slowly by myself so it's like I want it instead of listening to him ask why, what, where, how, when...

Why do you have so much stuff in here
What do you think you're doing with that (saw, hammer, wood)
Where in the world is the floor
How do you find anything
When was the last time you saw the desktop

Get my drift?

I am lucky. My husband offers to help me clean my sewing room and do the household chores. Except for today, I went to use my vacuum cleaner and I plugged it in and proceeded to vacuum..and all of a sudden I saw smoke coming out of it.
I yell to my husband who was upstairs "I think I just burned up the vacuum" he yells back "NO YOU DIDNT" how the heck does he know "It didn"t and it's not smoking?" he was upstairs. So I kindly asked him if he would take it apart and see if the belt is broken. He flat out told me NO you do it. Man was I surprised. I did it. And the whole time I am trying to stretch that stupid belt to reach around that thing that sticks out, Im bit** I mean complaining how he should be doing it and not me. So, I FINALLY get it on and am putting that thing back together and he comes over and says "here give it to me, I will fix it!!!" I told him No honey thats okay I ALREADY did it...and you know that jello you wanted me to make you? Welll MAKE IT YOURSELF!!

Tell him you won't have time to cook lunch for him because you'll be moving your sewing room. Then tell him you won't be able to cook dinner because you'll be too tired and sore from all the moving. Get the drift? This could last for several days!

How can my husband get back and forth from your house to South Carolina so fast.

LOL... He's usually really good about doing things, but some things I'd rather do it myself. I know the "flow" of things and he will put things where they "fit".

But...after Christmas, admittedly (hanging head in shame), the above questions would be valid :oops:

I always just did it myself. My husband was one of those that was always in the way and never of any assistance. So, it was just easier and quicker to do it myself.
