Eventually "No" has to come, alas, with mixed results. With the wife I always have the last word.

Nothing pisses me off as much as "whatever". This is the answer to "Can such and such come here for coffee" to "What do you want for dinner today". Seriously, i never used to listen to NO, but i honestly miss that damn word today lol.Miehttp://everydaymie.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179948267056784673.post-10179569893931947572011-08-22T09:58:00.699-04:002011-08-22T09:58:00.699-04:00It always amazes me that I can get outvoted one to...It always amazes me that I can get outvoted one to one.

I ask my husband these kinds of questions all the time ... sometimes he does say no and sometimes it's a "no" that is up for discussion and sometimes it's a "no" that is definitely NOT up for discussion. I've found that asking at the right times is important -- like if it's something I think he'd say a real "no" to, and he's watching the Chargers' game and they are winning, I might ask my question then. More likely to be a yes. And then later a "why didn't you tell me that the Curry's are coming over for dinner tonight?" <br /><br />But you don't have to worry about having a lot of different answers, because most women hear what they want to hear anyway ;) No, seriously, as studies show that women (on average) speak 10K more words per day than men, maybe "No" is all you need :D<br /><br />Enjoyed the post.<br /><br />Jennifer P.<br /><br />:)IncidentalDomestichttp://www.incidentaldomestic.comnoreply@blogger.com
