10 Things Husbands Should Never Do

DIANE OATIS wrote an article about all the things husbands shouldn't do. I think she may have used some filler to round it out to 10, but here are some of the gems she mentions:

THINGS HUSBANDS SHOULD NEVER DO

1- OFFER TO BABYSIT YOUR KIDS

It's sort of insulting when a father calls it babysitting when it's his own children, as though it isn't his responsibility to do so, but to be quite honest, I have never heard a man utter these words to his wife.

Most men are well aware that the kids are their responsibility, too. Only those who are awaiting the results on _Maury_ would think otherwise.

2- IMPLY THAT OFFICE WORK IS HARDER THAN HOUSEWORK

Well, I disagree with this one. While housework is hard in the sense that it requires energy and manpower, office work requires a specific set of skills that not just anyone possesses.

Anyone with a working body can do housework. The same cannot be said for office work. I worked a job cleaning office buildings and I worked an office job as an editor. Believe me, the latter is way more exhausting.

3- GIVE A HOME APPLIANCE AS A GIFT

This is sort of a double standard because I know too many women who gift their husbands with power tools and expect the men not to be offended. I agree that men shouldn't gift women blenders, but if you don't want that, make it clear to him. He's not psychic.

4- SAY SOMETHING BAD ABOUT OUR HAIRCUT

Now this is just ridiculous. A husband can't even be honest with his wife if he doesn't like her hair? Um, isn't this list a whole bunch of "critical"?

5- EXPECT A MEDAL FOR DOING SOME HOUSEWORK

If a man rarely cleans the house, wouldn't it serve a woman well to praise him for it rather than blast him for asking for a little recognition? If all it takes to keep a man cleaning up is to acknowledge it and give him a smile, why the hell wouldn't a woman do that?

The list goes on and on, and I can't help but feel that the list is a little bitter and, had the writer taken a different stance, perhaps men would have taken this list more seriously.
