If you had to describe our house this way, what would it look like? I love my house and I love the kids, but I’m not a big fan of the place we live. I’m a bit of a perfectionist about my home and I think I may have to let my husband move in.
This is one of those things that is the most obvious, but so much of the home and our lives are built on the idea that something has to be perfect. We can’t give up our idealized notions of what a home ought to be, because they will be the things that are flawed and not perfect. The problem is that sometimes the things that we love are also the things that are flawed.
I often joke that I need to just go back to basics because our house is so perfect that it’s actually pretty damn perfect. The truth is, our house is built for a couple of super-high-maintenance people: a lazy, lazy, lazy person who has no idea how to fix anything. The problem is that my husband is the only person who could possibly make our house a home, so he’s the one who has to live here.
I don’t mean my husband is lazy. I mean he’s lazy. He’s lazy because he’s not very good at anything. When he is around, I can work and fix things for him. But when I am around he acts like he can’t do anything and is useless. He’s lazy.
It’s very rare that I see lazy-ness in a person. For the lazy-ness I’ve seen in my wife, it’s usually reserved for late nights out or trips to the store. She does the lazy-thing well and if I were to tell her to get up and do something, she would do it. The lazy-thing is that she hates fixing things. Which makes me have to take the lazy-thing a little bit personally.
I think that he needs to make things easier for himself. He needs to get things working again so he can do what he needs to do and be a productive person. Instead, he acts like he hates it. He doesn’t like to fix things and is lazy.
Some people are like that. I think that if he started fixing things he would find out that he has a lot of stuff that he needs to get fixed or something. I think that he just needs to understand that he needs to clean up his act so he can make things easier for himself.
I think he needs to get back to his previous self, the guy that was trying to fix things and not fixing things. He needs to get back to the guy that was productive and was getting things done. And then he needs to start fixing things so he can be a productive person again.
When he says he’s going to fix something, he probably means he’s going to fix something he needs to get done before he decides to fix it. Sometimes it’s like a job that needs to be done but he’s going to do it after he’s done a certain task. Like a car that needs to be fixed, he’s going to be a car guy for a little while. And then he’s going to fix that car.
I think its awesome that he’s going to fix the car in the first place, but I’d really rather have him fix the car than fix the car later. It just makes more sense to fix the car now and then fix it later.
