Things Husbands Should do...
Is it unreasonable to expect a husband to...
1. Make coffee for wife.
2. Not watch football or cheaters on wedding night.
3. Give foot rubs.
4. Buy wife a McDonalds breakfast.
I mean, you gotta love 'em, but sometimes...
What do you expect from your OH?

Re: Things Husbands Should do...
"Cuddles" that result in the OH "suggesting" sex are frowned upon.
Mrs Haggis has confirmed this.

Re: Things Husbands Should do...
According to Billy Connolly last night we're required to massively increase providing "cuddles" whilst at the same time decreasing demands/expectations for sex. And all sex needs to finish with a prolonged cuddle.

1. Make coffee for wife. Mine does. While I'm in the shower at 5 am the OH is in the kitchen making my coffee.
2. Not watch football or cheaters on wedding night. He doesn't like football. He did go into work on our wedding night (forgot to tell them we were getting married so he got paged during dinner and had to go in)
3. Give foot rubs. Again, mine does. I personally hate feet, but he's ok with daily footrubs.
4. Buy wife a McDonalds breakfast. I don't eat McDonalds, but we go to breakfast once a month.

I would say they are just a couple of mandatory requirements, if that's all I was going to get out of getting married I'd be a bit disappointed!

Re: Things Husbands Should do...
Take the rubbish down...it's smelly so I'm not doing it.
Know stuff about computers. I don't care if you're not IT trained, just know stuff.
Catch daddy long legs in Summer. I do the spiders so it's a fair swap.
Make copious cups o' tea during the weekend. I make the first one in the morning, after that it really should be your responsibility. I wash your keks after all...
Know that I'm right. Even when I'm wrong (ha!) I'm right. Remember what your father in law told you before the wedding...

He's so lovely, I can't remember the last time I cooked
. I do put the wash on every now and then but he definitely does the majority of the house work, and outdoor work? That's a given, all mowing, weeding, maintainence is done by the man of the house.

Re: Things Husbands Should do...
..just be there when I need him, for whatever reason.
The rest of the time he can go back in the cupboard.
