Default dude, your going about it all wrong !

1> Have dinner ready: Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal - on time. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him, and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospects of a good meal are part of the warm welcome needed.


2> Prepare yourself: Take 15 minutes to rest so you will be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift.


3> Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up school books, toys, paper, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too.


4> Prepare the children: Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces if they are small, comb their hair, and if necessary, change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part.


5> Minimize the noise: At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of washer, dryer, dishwasher, or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and be glad to see him.


6> Some DON'TS: Don't greet him with problems or complaints. Don't complain if he's late for dinner. Count this as minor compared with what he might have gone through that day.


7> Make him comfortable: Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest he lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind.


8> Listen to him: You may have a dozen things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first.


9> Make the evening his: Never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or to other places of entertainment; instead try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his need to be home and relax.


10> The Goal: Try to make your home a place of peace and order where your husband can relax.

I'm looking for gift ideas online for my wife. Something in the $100 range.. Other than the old standby's from Vic Secrets, any ideas?
She doesn't want anything expensive,... not interested in a new iPhone....

Have no idea where Heidelberg is but I would like to meet you next summer, just to see if you're still alive after this thread

Are you sure the broken ankle is not her doing...in some strange 6 degrees of separation kinda way?

Best idea-give wc11 the $100 to take her to dinner. He has a huge stock of oil he bought on sale @ Cdn Tire, so he could bring a couple of liters as a small token, as Mumbles suggested.
Job done!! Next!!!!

Yeah....

All's good. Found what she wanted online....

I should have asked where to online shop for xmas gifts. I hate when she asks for clothing....

Anyways, to help other housebound hubbies...

victoria secrets is good, although pricey if you don't have a US address.
MEC.ca has some nice sporty type apparel.

or if you're the type.... you could always go to the mall, and shop for women's clothes.... although I'd rather change CV boots, replace a faulty thermostat than do that....

Unless you go to victoria's secret and tell the attractive sales lady that "she has the same body type as your wife, and would she mind trying 'these' on?"

I secretly had a remote starter installed in my wife`s Fit. She spotted the antenna and asked what it was . Ahhh,my friend installed a little light on the windshield to let you know the doors are locked So far so good except I could have used it today. 1 hr of scrapping from the freezing rain.Sending my ex some perfume. Chanel 666.
