Socks On The Floor
54Socks everywhere. I swear, everywhere. I chose the life as a stay at home mom. Little did I know the small things that would literally make me go postal. I'm not even talking about what my one and two year old son do. That is a whole different subject. I am talking about what my 31 year old does. My husband. Who has become a third child.
Wray, my husband, why cant he listen to a simple task? From talking to friends, I have discovered its most men that has the lack of ambition to do a simple task. I dont ask for much. The main thing that makes me crawl in my skin is dirty bunched up socks on the floor. The kids don't do this, I don't do this. But Wray, he does it. All the time. I just don't understand. I will go to pick up, and always find several pairs of bunched up socks scattered all over the place. Everywhere! I have asked him several times to not just take off your socks and throw them where ever. But I find them all over the place, the hall, dining room, living room, bathroom. Everywhere except, of course, the laundry room.
I do the laundry, cook for him everyday, wash his clothes, do the dishes, clean, and take care of Connor and Cayden everyday. I understand he works. But its a simple task. Pick up your stinky dirty socks! I have already learned to deal with the fact that you will never clean up your hair after shaving. Please do this one easy thing. It will settle many disputes. Is this really to hard to ask?

Got your hands full there girl! A lot of men think primitively, "Ug, me work, you clean" Aside from carrying a club around, they tend to act like wild animals. In that sense, you might want to start treating him like he is one. Or just treat him like a dog that needs trained. Try giving him a cookie if he gets the socks in the hamper. If not, I would stop washing them altogether. Just tell him that you're sorry, but you didn't realize they were dirty, because they weren't in the hamper. For all you knew, they could have been some stupid collectible he wanted to show off, or worse, maybe it was a way for him to mark his territory. That's much cleaner than peeing on everything. All you wanted to do, was be a good wife. And a good wife knows, not to step on a Mr. Manly Man's toes, and do anything that would bruise his fragile little ego.
Good luck!
