Okay, here is the deal. My wife and I got into it last night. Basically she feels I don't do anything around the house. There is a basis of truth to this I will not lie. She works very hard at home along with going to school full time, working part time, and taking care of our 3 kids. She wants me to do things around the house and I can understand that. Here is where the problem comes in. I don't know what the hell to do! I mean I do the obvious like the dishes and picking up the kid’s toys but it is the crap like cleaning certain things that I just don't think about doing. I don't know why, maybe I am a moron or something but I just never think about cleaning stuff.

So, I have asked in the past for her to make me a list of stuff to do so I can make sure I do what ever it is that she wants me to do. This idea pisses her off. She should not have to tell me what need be done. Again, I agree with her here but well, she does have to tell me what needs to be done.

I have asked a few coworkers and found that they too are mentally challenged when it comes to figuring out what needs to be done around the house. So, I ask my TFP brothers and sisters this. Ladies, does your man do what needs to be done without a list? If not, do you make him a list? Do you think that you should not have to make him a list? Guys, are you feeling me? Do you need a list?
