Champion  7558     Albuquerque, New Mexico |  Subject: RE: To make it, or not?the bear - 2005-10-06 2:02 PM uberbeginner - 2005-10-06 12:59 PM Tania - 2005-10-06 2:58 PM since I am the only one who cares, I make the bed myself. I'm gonna show this to my wife.Wives everywhere, take note. This may be a case where theory and reality diverge... Uber, post the response from your wife, and we HUSBANDS will take note. We go in cycles, sometimes making it weeks/months at a time. She doesn't appreciate it when I try to make the bed with her still in it, so she usually makes it for both of us. |

Champion 5183 Wisconsin | Subject: RE: To make it, or not? luckily SO and I agree that bed making is dumb. "do it or you're cut off" is kinda mean, even in jest. it is such a small thing your wife is asking you to do, just do it. I finally realized that : For years I resisted turning the radio down when getting out of the car. It's my car, I shouldn;t have to turn the radio off for the once a week time you drive my car and want it to start silently. But now, it's just habit and I do it and sometimes I catch myself grinning at myself in the mirror as I consider NOT doing it just to seee what would happen. my point: pick yer battles. |

Elite Veteran 748 northern Illinois | Subject: RE: To make it, or not? Make it -unless we're running tragically late. It's just much nicer to get into a bed that's been made. And we do it together. It takes, seriously, less than a minute. And the problem with "do it or you're cut off" is ...well, the other person isn't the only one who pays! Why would I threaten THAT? Besides, using sex as a weapon doesn't strike me as a good idea. Andrea |

| Veteran 407 Dallas, Texas | Subject: RE: To make it, or not? We normally don't make the bed. I'm up at 5am and my wife isn't much of a morning person. I will do almost any thing my wife asks--particularly small stuff like heloing her make the bed--just because I love her and it makes her happy and she does so much for me. Once, "or you'll be cut off" is uttered, however, I'd say "go to hell" just as a matter of principle. My wife tried that a few times early in our marriage and never understood why the threat never brought me into compliance. I explained to her that I don't negotiate with terrorists. Bill |

Buttercup 14334 | Subject: RE: To make it, or not? I agree that "you're cut-off" is way off base. Sex shouldn't be used for leverage, to lead someone by the nose, or power struggles. Not unless it's a kinky kind of power struggle, then it's game on! |

You're right, Hollis, of course. There could be no kinkiness found in a community of people obsessed with body hair, manscaping, chafing, urinating in pools, ripped abs, tattoos, and piercings; people who fondle their gear (which often has names) and use their gear as metaphors for non-tri related activities. Nothing kinky to see here, people. Move along! |

Science Nerd 28760 Redwood City, California | Subject: RE: To make it, or not? I love having the bed made every day, but my husband doesn't. We've sort of come to the compromise that we tighten the bottom sheet and then I tuck my side of the bed in. He leaves his out. It seems to work pretty well for us that way. |

| Veteran 285 Michigan | Subject: RE: To make it, or not? To everyone chastizing my wife about the 'you'll be cut off' comment, she was saying it tongue-in-cheek. That's just her way of letting me know that she really wants me to help her make the bed. I agree, I should just help and not say a word, but you have to stand up for yourself sometimes. Otherwise you could end up so hen-pecked, you will end up like my uncle (dad's brother) The other night we were at a restaurant with he and his wife. He paid for a round of drinks, and his wife looks at him and asks 'where'd you get that money?' I COULDN"T BELEIVE IT. He is so pecked that he has to explain every dollar bill in his wallet. |
