DIS Dads DDC XXII - End of Summer Bash

[Twin Dad]

I'm not one to write about DW in a negative way but I have to get this out there... maybe it will make me feel better. I'm hoping that putting it in a spot where it will be buried where it will never be seen by said wife will help me in the long run.

My DW cannot keep things in one spot. She constantly moves things around. From what is in the cabinets, to drawers, to the tooth paste & tooth brushes, to her coffee pot, to my dresser drawers, to where she puts the sponge, moving nicknacks, changing out pictures on the walls, moving what is in the vanity, etc. It might seem like nothing to you but it annoys me.

She can't leave well enough alone. I painted the whole interior of our house by myself. She always says she will help then she is nowhere to be found. Now she wants the kitchen, living room, and hallway repainted. It looks totally fine. I can't take it and I want to scream. I told her to go buy the paint then I'll start. Hopefully that buys me some time.

Sorry for the mini rant but I had to tell someone. It kinda seems petty now that I've typed it out.

So you married my sister-in-law.

Man Law!


(Maybe we should change Pineapple to Dole Whip)

Seconded

Then what would bacon-wrapped pineapple do?

time travel...
The dark chocolate covered pineapple picture posted previously looked practically perfect.

I completely understand. What frustrates me is when DW wants to paint to change the look of a room but doesn't want to change it too much. If I'm gonna spend the weekend painting, rooms are going from off-white to blue or something, not from off-white to antique white. If we leave the paint up long enough, the off-white will become antique white.

We all have our idiosyncrasies, to paraphrase Sleepless and Seattle (yes, I realize my man card was just revoked) Love is just two neurosis knowing they are a perfect match.

 

[that's nice]

You just described my DW.

So your saying I'm not alone?

So you married my sister-in-law.

Possibly. Does your sister in law live in central Connecticut?

I know she is going to a beige to a beige like color.

That's the thing... she has the neurosis and I'm just 'normal'

You're not alone. My SIL isn't in Connecticut but a lot of wives seem to think they are on HGTV and want to change the house every couple of years.

If I painted/added something/took away something and it wasn't working, I have no problem changing. But moving the drying rack from one side of the sink to the other, or moving towels from one shelf to another or going from off white to an 'off-er' white is just ridiculous.

 

[Twin Dad]

I feel your pain. About once every couple of years she goes through the cupboard and tosses most of the Tupperware only to replace it with half of the new catalog.

Pineapple works better for adding to hot foods.

Then what would bacon-wrapped pineapple do?

It introduces a new level of Sheer Awesomeness never before seen on this earth. I actually had bacon-wrapped pineapple as an appetizer at my cousin's wedding reception. I may have cried a little.

Sorry, Tim. I can see where that can drive you crazy. Men only know 9 colors anyway, so we would never be able to tell the difference between shades of off-white.

I think I would just refuse unless she allows the hallway to be bright orange. Or, let Juliana and Christopher pick the colors.

How fast do you think that painting job would get done if she said she wanted it Giants blue and red?

It would of been done by now.

That might just be potent enough to be declared a controlled substance.

I get out of repainting for no good reason by pleading poverty.

If that doesn’t work then you point out that we need to pick between either this household “upgrade” and traveling (meaning Disney).
That one generally works

The dark chocolate covered pineapple I had at Downtown Disney is how I will eat all fruits and vegetables from now on!!!!!

Why does that not surprise me?

That works well in my house, too.

Hmmm...I'm starting to like Mel more and more.

Tim, you could have just simplified your post like this:

I am married!

That's funny right there.

I'll keep that in mind when DW wants to cover up DD's "artwork" on the walls.

Tim, you could have just simplified your post like this:

That'd be funny if it wasn't true.

 

[GoofyIsAsGoofyDoes]

Tim, you could have just simplified your post like this:

Yep, That's step one...
There are eleven more

 

[that's nice]

Would of been done just as quickly if navy blue with pinstripes was ordered.

Hmmm...I'm starting to like Mel more and more.

Wonder why I have a hard time running?

Does step 12 end in divorce?

Secret is safe with me. Wild horses couldn't drag it out of me. Especially when I meet Mel in January. Nope, not going to mention a word. Oh, and thanks for picking up the check at Via Napoli.

 

[DisneyDaddy-O]

You're not alone. My SIL isn't in Connecticut but a lot of wives seem to think they are on HGTV and want to change the house every couple of years.

I have the same problem, we are in the middle of a huge Reno and my DW wants to paint the kitchen and living room, that was just painted 2 years ago!

Tim, the first rule of keeping something on the DL from your wife is not telling your nemesis's's's's trainer or coach or whatever he calls himself.
