More advice for men

If you make arrangements to eat Sunday dinner with your parents, please inform your wife so as to avoid the look of confusion and horror on her face when her mother-in-law starts a sentence with “When you come for dinner on Sunday...”

  1. Indeed, but the same can be said for wives and mothers in law who like to involve husbands in weekend activities and then not inform them of their impending involvement until late Friday afternoon.

  2. Mmm,

    Well thanks for the tips Mel. I'm keeping up to speed and writing all these down in preperation for when I'm married.

    I feel by taking notice now while I'm still single, I can avoid committing marital faux pas when eventually some poor woman does have me for her husband.

    i will make a copy of your article

    and show my wife, everytime

    mother or mother-in-law,

    get it into their heads to become

    bossy,......

    leaving the poor man giving

    explanations to his wife for something

    he might have muttered in the

    prescence of the two mothers, that had

    nothing at all to do with sunday dinner.

    But greece being matriarcchial in all

    its glory , still to this day produces

    men-hero-victims.

    dear MELUSINA ,your advise has been heeded.
    dear THANOS , courage mate, and have a word with your mother from time to time,maybe she can learn to bowl on
    sundays as to make dinner , dont misunderstand , find something useful
    for her to do on sundays,

    maybe you can cook for them.
