We’re back to school, back to work and back to the grind. What happened over the holidays? Well this small realization. Sometimes a mind reader IS required.
When I am standing in my closet, whining that “I have NOTHING to wear”. That is really, truly, honestly how I feel. I’ve been in there for 25 minutes, considered ever possible clothing combination and honest to God can not find one single outfit that does not make me feel like a frumpy housewife. (instead of the goddess that you married) So don’t poke fun or heaven forbid, just walk away from me. HELP ME!! Or hand over that credit card baby and let me do my worst. You don’t want to be in the way of a woman who has got her ugly on.
I talk. A LOT. It’s one of my many gifts. If suddenly, the house is way too quiet. Your spidey senses are right. Something is awry. It’s Okay to ask your lovely bride if she needs a hug. She will always say yes and think you are the best man ever for knowing that a hug makes the day just a little bit easier.
Generally speaking I am a fairly decisive person. If I have declared the cupboard bare. If there is simply “Nothing in this house to cook for dinner.” If frustration is permeating the very air you are breathing. This is a big fat hint and translates into…”please please suggest we go out for dinner, because I need to get out of this house and cooking is the last thing I feel like doing tonight.” Simple right?
If I am cranky, and foot stompy and door slammy and there is not an obvious reason. It could be the dreaded PMS. What ever you do…do not suggest it is PMS. (Fatal move.) If you read my mind this time, if you figure out that I am on the verge of a complete meltdown because my hormones are recking havoc on my body, for goodness sake keep your mouth shut. You have the chance to be the hero here! I need my mind reader to go make me some tea and locate the nearest emergency stash of chocolate!
I know, I know. I am setting back the women’s movement by suggesting that a man take care of a woman. That a man should be a mind reader and just know what we need. But seriously…once in a while, wouldn’t it be sweet??

Honestly i can’ complain,my hubby has been my care taker for over 20 years and i believe he can read my mind because he is always one step ahead of me for all my needs,he’s kind and compassion…i have been truly blessed.

I would like the mind reading to work when I am angry or upset! LOL!

I think it’s not so much a man taking care of a woman… but rather a person taking care of a person 🙂 Communication is everything. Good job for saying what you need to say. <3 xxoo such courage !!!!!

You express yourself very nicely. It’s good to look at it from anther point of view.
Kristi says
Haha yes would be nice. I’m not married yet so I’ll have to try to find a man who can mind read at least sometimes 😉
Violet Smith says
It would be great but from my experience never going to happen. We however must be mind readers
Laurie P says
Today would be great for that. Woke up with a wicked cold….
Stephanie LaPlante says
Mind reading would definitely be convenient whenever you want something you feel silly asking for.
Judy Cowan says
It would definitely be nice if they could read our minds occasionally……mind you there are many times I wouldn’t want him to be able to do this, especially when I am mad at him in my head!
Julie says
Funny post and oh so relatable! Thanks for the laugh!
Darlene Schuller says
Sometimes I dream of this fantasy man…………….

kathy downey says
Would that not be the best if only it happened
Samantha says
HA I really wished my Husband had that mind reading skill this weekend. Why don’t they just “get it” sometimes??????
Kyooty/Mary says
Yes once in a while exactly
Peady @ Tempered With Kindness says
