OH! So absolutely true!

Goofball said...

looks like we had a similar thought in mind

Jen said...

FC, I think most women may think this, lol. I'm worried about getting angry guys on the site today...

I haven't been to your site yet, Goofball - I guess I'll head there now.

Totally agree. I have taken to throwing in statements like "my hair's on fire" when I sense I'm not being listened to. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

Men.

Jen said...

Ooo... I like that tactic - I'll have to try it!

oh yeah,the chief source of argument between myself and CableDad. lol

Jen said...

CG, I think that's true of many families...

April said...

LOL - yep, one of the things I miss least about living with a man!

anno said...

I know what you mean... thank God for my girlfriends!

Gotta say, though, my husband's "fix-it" impulse comes in handy sometimes...

Kate said...

Oh my god that is so true... even when you think they are listening... they aren't!!!

Jen said...

April, yes, I can imagine that!

Anno, well, the fix it thing can be okay sometimes - it's more when I say something and he has the expression of all those high school students in the econ class in Ferris Beuller's Day Off.

Kate, yeah, there seems to be a lot of agreement today, lol.

My husband would tell you that I'm the one that doesn't listen. But he always wants to talk when I'm blogging!

oy. no kidding.

Jen said...

Right, Jim, right... ;-)

Well, Leslie, that's the flip side of it. I mean, where do they get off expecting US to listen? Hmmmm? ;-)

LOL, Maypole, I seem to have struck a nerve with this post!

I think I have to repeat something at least three times before my husband gets it. I think he hears it but his listening comprehension skills are in the toilet sometimes!

Buzzeedad's comment is HILARITY! Love it.
I hear you, Jen. I hear you.
