You know what? I just do what I'm told to do.

After being married for just about 7 months, I already know this is usually the way to peace. Just nod your head and say "yes ma'am". Brownie points are always useful! So many wonderful choices for redeeming them too (airshows being one of the options).

Matt,

That's easy... just unload the dishwasher, and put everything back in the WRONG place. Spoons where forks go, stack the small bowls under the big bowls, small plates mixed up with large ones. Do that, and she'll think you're such a moron that you can't do anything right. Then, she'll unload the dishwasher herself from now on just to make sure everything's in the right place.

That's the key here. You need to condition her behavior to think that you're incapable of performing any task, no matter how menial or important AND that if you try, you'll fail miserably.

Ingrain that conditioned response into her cerebellum, and in no time at all those chores you were tasked to do will be removed from your list of responsibilities. If you've got younglings, even better! They will be given all of the chores that were once your responsibility to complete, and bear the burden of punishment for failure to complete the task at hand!

Of course, now and again you need to reinforce that mindset. Go out in the yard, and try to mow the lawn. Make sure you give the appearance of a total git; look clueless as you mow with no set pattern or goal. Your other half will see this, corral one of your offspring and have them take over what you were doing, usually with rapidity, grand gestures and loud screeching orders to the tune of "Go find out what your dad is doing, and make him stop before he hurts himself, or worse!".

Then, you can go back to what you were doing in the first place...watching the tube, napping, simming or whatever you were doing before you received your scolding.

You both have very valid points and ideas. Unfortunately, as I am an aircraft maintenance inspector by trade, she would know I am trying to pull the wool over her eyes and that would bring a whole new set of problems....................... Cry

I suppose my pride (or was it my ego) played a large part in my divorce. Take it from me, you guys have the right idea. Shut up and smile. Wink

It doesn't matter what your job is, if you Feign Incompetence for long enough she will eventually give up trying to make you do whatever it is you don't what to do.
