  • Amen.

    So, about a year before my dad passed I was on the phone with him and he asked me, "do you and [insert my ex's name here] fight a lot? Your mother and I fight all the time"

    My mom was on the onset of her dementia - and in hind site I can say the fighting was probably helping keep my mom somewhat back in reality at the time?

    Anyway, I responded, "No dad, we don't fight, apparently I just yell at him a lot."

    And again, in hindsight - I probably did because he was just not doing what he was supposed to be doing.

    Hence, my reference to "the ex."

  • I figure naggin' is the charismatic overspill of silent persuasion.
  • "If Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody gonna be happy."

    And one I just made up recently:
    "Men can't read minds. And even if they could, it would not matter
    because women can always change their minds."

    LOL

  • My wife knows that nagging is the exact way to get me to take longer to do something. We have a rule that I do my duties on my timetable, she does hers on her timetable, and if either of us doesn't like it, we can do the others' duty ourselves.


    The Wife: "When are you going to get around to painting the nursery?"


    Me: "I know for a fact you aren't allergic to latex."




    (And, yes, Claude, that's a lot of duties.)

    • My wife and I divide duties as well. If she sees I'm doing some work, she offers to help. If I see she's doing some work, I offer to help.

      In 28 years of marriage, I think she raised her voice to me a few times, And I've never yelled at her. We never argue. It's a combination of both of us hating drama....and having little to argue about.

      She never nags. But I still call her Nagatha Christie...after I saw this...

      If my wife is impatient for me to do something (like assemble vacuum cleaners), she'll start doing it herself, without saying a word. Of course, I just take over. Sometimes I'll laugh, because I know exactly what she's doing...that clever little lady.

      She really knows how to prime my pump. (opening for Riffle, Kurt, or Mark)

  • Well obviously. If he was doing what he should he would put the old nag out to pasture and find a better field to play in.
