Is my wife being unreasonable??

[surfdude]

lucky you . i have to do the inside and outside and i still work .

 

[jonny jeez]

Bear in mind that I retired a few years ago so am obviously very very busy......what with golf, cycling, bird watching, photography & walking etc.

So this morning my wife asked.......nay-instructed me to clean some of the inside windows.
I looked at the first one and said "it doesn't look dirty to me".
To which she said " it does when the sun shines on it"
To which I said "I have had a perfectly good window blind put up---you can pull it down when the sun shines on it-----so you won't see the problem"

Now that sounded perfectly reasonable to me!!!
BUT she then said......."if you dont get it done NOW I will shove this mop up your bum"
Now I have 2 issues with that.......
1) It sound awfully cruel and (I think) is extreme bullying.
2) She shouldn't have time to stop mopping in order to carry the threat out.

What should my course of action be????

Sorted it for you Dave, I've emailed Mrs Dave a link to this thread.

My work here is done.

Draw a big heart in the dirt with her initials, blow her a kiss then ride off while she's still under your spell

Phone ChildLine.

I think Age Concern would be more appropriate .Our do the job badly and she may not ask you again.Works for me.

Tell her to go foxtrot...
then snap the mop handle...

 

[sight-pin]

Hire a window cleaner on the quick. It could be worse, she could be asking you to re decorate lol

I think you are being unreasonable, there's not much time and effort required to clean a few windows when you consider the time she spends cleaning your bike every week..

 

[stephec]

Surrender instantly, clean the windows and then point out you are now going for a bike ride.

Cleaning them straight away takes far less time than moaning to her and then online about it and you would have been out on your bike far quicker.

Just a woman's logic applied to it that is!

What you mean is, "it's going to happen, so you may as well do as you're told first time."

 

[stephec]

Or do such a poor job she doesn't ask you again

So you've done the ironng once as well?

 

[DRM]

Do it really badly, it also helps if the item breaks when you are doing the job, I was once asked to load the the washing machine, the hinge broke and the glass door came off in my hand, it took about 20 years before I was invited to do that job again.

If you cleaned the windows you'd be able to see the birds better from the comfort of your own mop end....

Divorce, trade her in for a younger model.

 

[Saluki]

Do as you are told and do the job well. Do it once, do it right and then you can go for a nice bike ride and won't have to clean the window for at least another month.

Though the house is a tip sometimes because i would rather go out on my bike

Surely you meant it's because you also need to go to work
