Does your missus nag you guy's?

[moonraker558]

According to health campaign group Everyman, wives spend 7,920 minutes a year nagging their husbands.

(This equals two-and-a-half hours of earbashing each week - which totals 11 hours a month or five-and-a-half days a year. The most common subject women nagged their partners about was not helping to tidy the home. Other complaints included not helping to wash the dishes, drinking too much and not visiting the doctor to get checked out. Of course men would call this giving advice or asking for help, but because it's the women doing it, they say it's "nagging".) Would you agree with this?

What's nagging. I think you mean constructive critiscism.

I'm a nagging wife according to OH (ha ha) but actually as all us wives know ..... you lot THRIVE on it!!

[starone]

Of course. I nag all the time - to anyone who will listen. I often think I am talking at a person, rather than to them.

[Ann]

.... but I've discovered "its like water off a ducks back" with my OH!!
By the way he has "selective hearing!"

[Barmaid]

I don't nag, (and I certainly don't mention the items in your list, Moony). I remind, cajole, persuade, inform. And then I chuck plates.

[Ann]

Ha Ha I must try the "plate slinging" Barmaid ....but then again I'd only have to clear it all up!!

Barmaid:
Women shouldn't be allowed to train as barristers!
We fellas find it hard enough to argue against you as it is, even without you having any special training in the art ;-)

[Barmaid]

Nooooooooooooooooo!!!! You make them clear it up (although if you do, be prepared for the fact you will still be finding shards of broken crocker a few weeks later).

[Buenchico]

BTW:
Does chucking plates help to sway County Court judges?
;-)

[Bobbisox]

we never row, I don't nag,,,Oh hell is this boring or what :-(

[Barmaid]

lol, Chris, do you want to try and tell my OH that?! He regularly laments that it is impossible to argue with me because I have an answer to everything.

[Barmaid]

lol Chris, no. But they know deep down I've got it in me to chuck the White Book in the direction of the bench..........

According to research from Essex University British men are now doing almost twice as much housework as in 1961.

(This has probably been driven by the results of research from Arizona State University which found that men who do more housework get more sex.)

[Buenchico]

Now let's see, Moony, twice zero comes to . . .
;-)

[Barmaid]

Harumph. They didn't survey my bloody household...........

(tis current source of most annoyance to me)

[Postdog]

Mine might, but since I shortened the chain to cooker I hardly see her

[DaisyNonna]

NO

[mightyWBA]

My Missus hasn't nagged me for 5 and a half years now..

She ran off with a bloke from Wolverhampton in 2006!

[moonraker558]

lol

[Buenchico]

You've chained your missus to the cooker, Postdog? That's completely unacceptable!!!

How the hell do you expect her to vacuum the living room, paint the bedroom and dig the garden if she's chained up? Be reasonable, for heaven's sake!
