My fiance is driving me NUTS today!!!

Let's help him out with a Good Idea/Bad Idea List! When YOUR DH/SO is driving you bonkers, send him the link.

I'll go first.


GOOD Idea: Taking out the trash.
BAD Idea: Taking out the trash, leaving the garbage cans sitting in the kitchen without bags.

GOOD Idea: Making your SO soup and grilled cheese when she is ill.
BAD Idea: Making the soup and grilled cheese, then leaving the pan to get moldy so she can clean it when she feels better.

GOOD Idea: Washing a load of clothes.
BAD Idea: Washing a load of clothes, and leaving them in the washer for 3 days because you forgot about them.

Ya see, men are very thoughtful. However, their follow-thru is sometimes lacking.

GOOD Idea: Watching the kids so your SO can rest during an illness.
BAD Idea: Sleeping till 1pm the following day because trying to do her daily jobs wears you out.
