when i was surfing today i found an article about all the different kinds of dirt and microorganisms that collect in high-traffic areas of the average home. i cleaned like martha yesterday, so i thought it would be nice to see what i was doing without. it turns out it was just a bunch of ladies talking about dust and how they hate doing chores. buried near the bottom of the page...i found this:

"Husbands might be a bit more difficult to train [than children], says Sandra Beckwith, publisher of the Do(o)Little Report, which she bills as 'a lighthearted look at male behaviour.' Women assume men know how to do chores, and often they don't, Beckwith says.

Her formula? 'Communicate, demonstrate, compliment and reward. Be specific about the help you need. For instance, don't stand around saying, "This place is a mess!" Ask your husband to load the dishwasher, vacuum the living room or whatever,' Beckwith urges. 'If he doesn't know how, show him. When he does a good job, tell him so, and reward him however you'd like.'

Beckwith also advises accepting your husband's housework on his terms, not yours: 'If your husband isn't willing to colour-sort laundry, either don't complain or do it yourself.'"

if you could train a husband like a dog, you wouldn't need a husband. and no man who can use a computer can't use a dishwasher, a vaccuum and a washing machine. i see beckwith as the pearls-and-heels of the new home. where after everyone of significance has stopped talking about feminism and realised the chorous of antagonistic feminists screaming "we weren't even allowed to vote!" has become irrelevant and counterproductive, she's stuck in a gender role she has outlined and chosen and is complaining like it's a common problem.

bestiality aside, only bitches mate with canines.
