Nagging wifes?

Question

I work a 40 hour week, when i come home the wife nags me to get on with jobs around the house. What would you suggest to stop this. Im shattered when i get home from work, i dont want to upset her either otherwise i get no dinner.

Answer 1

Come home, tell her that she is the most " beautiful " women
and you want her right now. IT WILL EITHER EXCITE HER
OR SCARE HER. either way she will forget about the odd jobs.

Answer 2

I also work a 40-hr week, with a 2-to-3 hour round-trip commute each day. I'm also the mother of two and married.

You think THAT sounds awful? Nope... read on:

When I take "vacation", it is unbelievable how harried I am after 8-hours of being a housewife. When I am trying to entertain my kids and keep the house in some semblance of clean order, I can barely accomplish anything else.

So when my husband comes home at night, I have to share the work with him - he watches the kids while I try to get something done, or we both pitch in.

Nevertheless, my point of this answer is that I can't tell you how much I look forward to going back to work after trying housework for one week.

Your wife has it tougher than you do, of this there is no doubt, so
SUCK IT UP and pitch in.

Trust me - your wife would prefer to be your lover than your nagger. Help around the house when you get home -without having to be asked- and your reward will be a loving, pleasant and thankful wife!!

All you other men should try this too...

Answer 3

I think that the 40 hours at work is for money to pay for your lifestyle and that the things your wife wants you to do when not at work are the things that are your life. If you don't want to mow grass, do not buy a house. See?
I guess your wife could do your chores and you could make the dinner? or you could work more hours and pay someone else to live your life.
Maybe if you worked 80 hours/week your grass would be mowed , your dinner ready, the 'honey do' list completed, and possibly some other guy could spend the evenings and week-ends with your wife since you aren't ever around.
Sorry if this seems harsh, you need to enjoy the choices you have made or change your choices.

Answer 4

Nagging is a "form" or communication that women rely on when they feel their point isn't getting across to you. Is she a stay-at-home mom? Does she have the same hours as you? Sit her down. Tell her that nagging isn't effective. And all it does is create resentment on your part and that domino-effects into anger, disrespect and eventual hate. Then make out a list of all the household chores that are needing attention and split them up. That way you know what you need to do and what you don't. It places her on even ground with you. If she's a stay at home..she should be taking up MORE slack by helping you out and taking more of the household responsabilities. Good luck.

Answer 5

Help her out sometime, and quietly, so as not to give her time for any nagging. Then after dinner, it should be a good time to discuss/explain how tired you are when you come home, but try also to balance it by not complaining but rather sharing. On average, women like a guy who shares his thoughts and feelings.
you didn't mention whether she also runs a job during the day.
but any way, Assure her your part in sharing chores/ house duties.

Answer 6

I finally figured out that I needed to give my husband 30-an hour after he came in to just be left along. Besides the hi honey how was your day question. He needed it to unwind and let go of the stress from the day. Then when he came looking for me He was in a better mood and easier to talk to. Maybe you could suggest that to her. Or suggest that she just write down all she needs you to get done (within reason) and you will try to accomplish within the week sometime. Probably the best thing to do is just be honest IN A KIND way that you need her not to be quite so pushy in her requests.

Answer 7

Do something without being asked to do it. Set the table for dinner, take out the garbage, straighten up the shoes at the front door. If she's making the dinner, you should be clearing the table and doing the dishes or at least helping her with the dishes. Domestic responsibilities need to be shared, or women start to feel like they are being taken for granted. Do you use words of appreciation? Be kind to her, and she will stop "nagging" you.

Answer 8

Does your wife work also? If so then you both need to split the chores that need done around the house. It's not fair to put it all on her if she works too. However if you work and she don't then she should do the cleaning since you work.
It never hurts to help out its your house too. Take out the trash, pick up things that is laying around the house. Also don't make more work for her too do. Pick up after your self.

Answer 9

Bring a takeaway home with you... You do not mention if your wife goes out to work or if she takes care of children and the house all day. I work a 30hr week .take care of a disabled husband. do voluntary work, do all my own painting and decorating , and still find time to be an avon lady. So stop complaining. By the way I am a nurse, so , no, I do not sit around all day

Answer 10

So you work 40 hours. Must be nice. How many hours do you want your wife to work. Most likely she works more hours than you. Help her. You could learn to cook.

Oh by the way average male worker works over 50 yours per week and still help their wife's. What you problem. Lazy?

Answer 11

does your wife work too? if so then you should do your share of the house jobs. but even if she don't, it wont kill you to help. if shes a stay at home wife, maintaining the house is a full time job too with no overtime. sit down with your wife and agree on what jobs you will do and then make sure you do them. and to make them easier to do, don't be a pig. if you clean up after yourself then the chores will be easier to do.
