It's a woman thing......

Why can you not just leave it alone?
"Can we please move the book cases from the downstairs hall to the conservatory so that I can put new cupboards where the bookcases used to be."......and so the furniture merry-go-round starts again. followed quickly by another innocent conversation. "Well, last night Bethany and her friend were continuously coming through the living room to get a drink from the kitchen to go back to her bedroom......so why don't we swap over her bedroom and the spare bedroom?........all this from two teenage girls need to get a drink. would it not be easier to get her a mini fridge for her bedroom?

Men and women are two entirely different species.

My wife likes continually moving things. We have 300 items in a house that holds 250 and they need to be moved, refreshed, taken in from the garage or the studio or down from the attic on a regular, never ending carousel that is spring cleaning. There was one occasion where we ended up moving three different sofas around from one room to the other, up stairs to downstairs to the garage in hours of backbreaking, sweat inducing mayhem.

As a bloke, I don't get it.

I agree that things should be nice, functional and easy on the eye as you move round the house......THEN LEAVE IT ALONE FOR FIVE YEARS. If it ain't broke don't fix it. when did you last hear someone say, "my living room stopped working so I just had to get a new one." NEVER. Why does the television need to be in a different corner? Why do the sofas have to face the other way? Why do all the pictures need to be moved to another room? Why do we need a kitchen table in the kitchen....when ten feet away in the dining room is a table which already provides all of the functions associated with the need to have something to eat off of. Why do we have to throw this item out in order to get something new which does exactly the same function as the item we have just got rid of?
Gentlemen, I can see you all nodding and sharing the pain of a man who has to constantly reshuffle the cards on an all too regular basis.
Ladies, I can see you shaking your heads, wagging your fingers and in some cases tutting as you go try to find which handbag you have left your mobile phone in so that you can forward the number of a good divorce lawyer to my wife.
Divorce solicitors, maybe after having won your case and got custody of the possessions for the wife.....maybe it can be your turn to move them round and change the pictures, move the beds..........
