We need to discuss this "memory" problem of you husbands out there. WHY can't you get a "list" correctly men? My husband has a great memory with work, fishing, beer to pick up, etc.
When I ask him to do something, he often "forgets."
The grocery list is the absolute worse.
MY list: Please get the following items:
Caffeine Free Diet Coke
Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
Bottled Water
Fettucine
He comes home with:
Coca Cola(regular one)
Chocolate Chip COOKIE DOUGH Ice Cream(blech)
"they were out of water" WT???
Spaghetti noodles
yeah, yeah, yeah, do it myself. Believe me, I will unless I just can't for some reason(sick or busy with a child, etc)
(1) Your husband instinctively knows how to find beer, go fishing, etc, etc.
(2) If you screw up enough times, your wife will give up and do it herself. There is no male self esteem to be gained by shopping for chocolate chip ice cream.
(3) Women like to plan (they dream about the hell that is the wedding since they're children, after all). Men like to react. Your husband is training you. Write a list down, give it to him. Then he will go and get what you want. If you just tell him, he's going to have forgotten about what you told him by the time he gets to the grocery store because he's going to be thinking about beer, fishing, football, and how hot that girl on aisle 7 is. He's ignoring your wishes because he cares about you.
(4) Chocolate chip ice cream is categorically inferior to chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. He knows this and wants you to have the very best.
