My husband DOES read my blog (God love 'em), but he is a man of few words. <br /><br />On the other hand, that other husband who commented - the one who can recognize an outdated magazine - I want to get to know *him* better. ;-)Pam Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01997629664057863762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795024335940175298.post-46813512037379959302010-06-15T19:22:59.560-04:002010-06-15T19:22:59.560-04:00I think y'all should do sort of an all-Family ...I think y'all should do sort of an all-Family version of Nabokov's "Pale Fire", done completely through the Comments section.

On one hand, it seems like a viewpoint my husband would take. But it is definitely not his writing style. In fact, the more I look at it, the more it reeks of hippie, commune-loving perspective. And pachouli. And then there was the lightning-fast response time.<br /><br />Hello Nisha!Pam Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01997629664057863762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2795024335940175298.post-91045867864152946102010-06-15T12:46:52.256-04:002010-06-15T12:46:52.256-04:00Perhaps none of the above.
Consider that the wife ...Perhaps none of the above.<br />Consider that the wife prefers things picked up and neat, the hubby doesn't really care and neither do the children. In fact if you look into the children's rooms you will find that they are probably pretty comfy with scraps of paper in their corners. There might not be one morally correct answer for how the house should be kept. (It just feels that way to the wife :)<br />The tricky part is how to meet everyone's needs. Since the wife needs it tidy and the others don't, how can they all compromise? For instance why is it that the wife's standards with no paper on the floor rule? Or for that matter why should the standard of never picking things up rule either? <br />Of course if this were a vote the wife would likely lose said vote, so she might want to stick with consensus, which of course means compromise..................<br /><br />Bet'cha know who wrote this comment :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
