Helpful Husbands

Some husbands are atrocious. On second thoughts, I would change it to "most husbands are atrocious". Especially when it comes to doing the errands commanded by their respective wives. (They fare better while doing the errands of other people's wives, of course. That is the reason, the word 'respective' is important!)

Normally, the wife's world goes around the family, buying things for the family ... almost all her decisions, actions revolve around the needs of the husband and children. But, husbands? Self-centered and caught up with professional / world affairs - outside the house!

Agreed, we are genetically handicapped of being men. And, we can't take initiatives. But, the least we husbands can do is to do the errands given by our respective wives. There too we fail. "Oh, that is what you meant?" or "I was caught up in a traffic" or "You don't know what tension I go through in the office" or some such thing is our only excuse, when it is pointed out - once again - that we forgot something.

Or, if we do remember to go to the shop to fetch the one thing required, we try our level best to avoid this simple responsibility. And, if we could succeed, what a joy!



I am sure, I am going to get two comments for this post :

a) Talk about yourself.
b) Why are men called 'head of the household'? At least in India.
