My Mother sent me this today and I had to share LOL
Men's Consideration for Women
>
> It is important for men to remember that, as women grow older, it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as when they were younger.
>
> When you notice this, try not to yell at them. Some are oversensitive, and there's nothing worse than an oversensitive woman..
>
> My name is John. Let me relate how I handled the situation with my wife.
>
> Since I retired several years ago, it has become necessary for her to get a full-time job along with her part-time job, both for extra income and for the health insurance benefits that we needed.
>
> Shortly after she started working, I noticed she was beginning to show her age.
> I usually get home from the golf club about the same time she gets home from work.
>
> Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always says she has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts dinner.. I don't yell at her.
>
> Instead, I tell her to take her time and just wake me when she gets dinner on the table. I generally have lunch in the Men's Grill at the club so eating out is costly and not reasonable and I'm ready for some home-cooked grub when I hit that door.
>
> She used to do the dishes as soon as we finished eating. But now it's not unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours after dinner... I do what I can by diplomatically reminding her several times each evening that they won't clean themselves.. I know she really appreciates this, as it does seem to motivate her to get them done before she goes to bed.
>
> Another symptom of aging is complaining, I think. For example she will say that it is difficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills during her lunch hour.
>
> But, boys, we take 'em for better or worse, so I just smile and offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two or even three days. That way she won't have to rush so much. I also remind her that missing lunch completely now and then wouldn't hurt her any (if you know what I mean). I like to think tact is one of my strong points.
>
> When doing simple jobs, she seems to think she needs more rest periods.
>
> She had to take a break when she was only half finished mowing the lawn. I try not to make a scene. I'm a fair man. I tell her to fix herself a nice, big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and just sit for a while and, as long as she is making one for herself, she may as well make one for me too.
>
> I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support her. I'm not saying that showing this much consideration is easy. Many men will find it difficult. Some will find it impossible! Nobody knows better than I do how frustrated women get, as they get older.
>
> However, guys, even if you just use a little more tact and less criticism of your aging wife because of this article, I will consider that writing this was well worthwhile.
>
> After all, we are put on this earth to help each other.
>
>
> Sincerely,
>
> John

> EDITOR'S NOTE:
> John died suddenly on March 1 of a perforated rectum. The police report says he was found with a Calloway extra long 50-inch Big Bertha Driver II golf club jammed up his rear end, with barely 5 inches of grip showing and a sledge hammer laying nearby.
>
> His wife was arrested and charged with murder... The all-woman jury took only
> 15 minutes to find her Not Guilty, accepting her defence that John somehow, without looking, accidentally sat down on his golf club.
