I'm A Wife Not A Babysitter!

Two blogs in two days! Am I on fire or what?

Hey, who said I was procrastinating?

Anyway, so I read an article on stopping your man from cheating.

Uh, say what? Did I marry a man or a child? He's an adult, and either he honors our vows or he doesn't. My job is to be the best wife I can, not mother him!

Here's a list of suggestions from the article:

To prevent your husband from cheating on you, do this:

-- Attend company events, such as the picnic, even if you don't really want to go. Your presence may be enough to keep him from flirting with other women and for other women to not get ideas that he is available.

-- If you're away on vacation while he stays home, check in on him by phone and even in person, if possible, by coming home unexpectedly.

-- If he is away, find out where he is staying and get the landline telephone number. "Cell phones are the greatest aid to infidelity ever invented other than the Internet. You want a landline. With a cell phone, he can be anywhere," Houston advises.

-- Be alert. Remember, the wife is often the last to know. If she is paying attention, she will be the first.

Holy cow, if marriage is that much work, if I had to live in constant fear and vigilance, why bother?

Fortunately, I married a man, not a boy. Even better, I married a man of integrity. I don't have to be his moral compass, he has one of his own. I don't know, this article just irritated me.

But you all know I'm easily irritated! What about you?


And for your viewing pleasure, I thought I'd include a picture of my version of a hunk. As my sons get older, I find myself shying away from the young hunks, because, ewww! Too close to my son's age and that's just creepy! So I stole this pic from Katie MacAlister's blog
