Well, that's news to me

Quote From: amyjo304

I don't think that most of you stopped to listen to the 75 items.  They were very basic items and some of them Grant even said that he thought it would be fun for them.  I look at the list and think about how I can do most of those things in an hour. 

As for if my husband brought a list of things to me, I would definately take a look at the list.  Also, Kelly asked him for the list.  Did you get that part of the show?  She asked him to make a list so she could better understand what he was looking for.  It was a jumping off point.  I hope everyone can please remember that.

Thanks for pointing out that Amy asked for the list - I hadn't caught that.  Of course I think the issue of the list is overrated anyway, and nobody hears Grant's explanation that it wasn't a list of demands, it was his musings about what he thought wives should know.

Hello all of you! A few comments have come to mind as I have been watching these boards. They are not defensive. I am just clarifying some things since it has provoked quite the discussion.  I did not ask Grant for the list of 75 things. That list was in response to our second show and the fact that he felt like he was "white knuckeling" it. He was asked what I still needed lessons in. He then told the show that he felt that any "domestic engineer" should have knowledge in those areas as well.  I asked Grant to tell me something specific that I could work on for him. Maybe ironing all his work shirts for a week, maybe cleaning off his desk-whatever. He could not give me an answer. He eventually told me he would have to get back to me. He did not get back to me.  I did the same thing in the kitchen. I asked him what he would like to see me cook. He has a hard time answering me.  Maybe it is because my cooking really does bite, or maybe he doesn't really know what he wants. I do believe it really is an attitude thing. It is how both of us feel on the inside. I do not mean to minimize how our home and environment contribute to how we both feel. It is just plain easier to breath in a clean and de cluttered home.   But even today, I believe that the only thing Grant knows for sure is that he wants less anxiety and fustration.  Ironically enough,  I too want less anxiety and fustration! Kelly

If those items were basic than maybe I wasn't listening.   But then again, my husband and I don't look at the materialistic things.  We look at the fact that we have a roof over our head, food on the table, our children are healthy and happy, time to play with our children as well as spend time with each other.   

  

I'm afraid to hear what you as well as Bree and Diana think about Grant not wearing his ring.  Please enlighten me.  You can't tell me that wouldn't hurt your feelings just a little bit?

Oh I'd love to see the full list of the 75 items Grant mentioned, is that available on the message boards anywhere?

I just realized the confusion. The list of 70-75 things was Grant's alone. The list we made together was something different. Right after the first show, Grant took me out and he pulled out a piece of paper. He wrote down what he would like to see from me and also himself. I did the same, and we tried to come to some sort of agreement.  That was when I said all I could promise was to do my best.  I still have that much shorter list, and I do look at it. They showed clips of us writing stuff down and that was what they were referring to. lol- We have lots of lists. They are all on engineering paper.  Kelly
