TACT!



It is important for men to remember that, as women grow
older, it becomes harder for them to maintain the same
quality of housekeeping as when they were younger When
you notice this, try not to yell at them. Some are
oversensitive, and there's nothing worse than an
oversensitive woman.
My name is Ron. Let me relate how I handled the situation
with my wife, Carol. When I retired a few years ago, it
became necessary for Carol to get a full-time job, along
with her part-time job, both for extra income and for the
health benefits that we needed. Shortly after she started
working, I noticed she was beginning to show her age. I
usually get home from the golf club about the same time
she gets home from work.

Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always
says she has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts
dinner. I don't yell at her. Instead, I tell her to take her
time and just wake me when she gets dinner on the table.
I generally have lunch each day in the Men's Grill at the
Golf Club, so eating out is not an option in the evening.
I'm ready for some home-cooked grub when I hit that door.
She used to do the dishes as soon as we finished eating.
But now it's not unusual for them to sit on the table for
several hours after dinner.
I do what I can by diplomatically reminding her several
times each evening that they won't clean themselves. I
know she really appreciates this, as it does seem to
motivate her to get them done before she goes to bed.
Another symptom of aging is complaining, I think. For
example, she will say that it is difficult for her to find
time to pay the monthly bills during her lunch hour. But,
boys, we take 'em for better or worse, so I just smile and
offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two,
or even three days. That way, she won't have to rush so
much. I also remind her that missing lunch completely
now and then wouldn't hurt her any (if you know what
I mean). I like to think tact is one of my strong points..
When doing simple jobs, she seems to think she needs
more rest periods... She had to take a break when she
was only half-finished mowing the front lawn. I try not to
make a scene. I'm a fair man.. I tell her to fix herself a
nice, big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and
just sit for a while. And, as long as she is making one for
herself, she may as well make one for me, too. .

I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I
support Carol. I'm not saying that showing this much
patience & consideration is easy. Many men will find it
difficult. Some will find it impossible! Nobody knows better
than I do how frustrating women get as they get older.
However, guys, even if you just use a little more tact and
less criticism of your aging wife because of this article, I
will consider that writing it was well worthwhile. After all,
we are put on this earth to help each other.



EDITOR'S NOTE:
Ron died suddenly on January 31 of a perforated rectum. The police report says he was found with a Calloway extra-long 50-inch Big Bertha Driver II golf club jammed up his rear end, with barely 5
inches of grip showing, and a sledge hammer laying nearby. His wife
Carol Anne was arrested and charged with murder.. The all-woman
jury took only 10 minutes to find her Not Guilty, accepting her
defence that Ron, somehow without looking, accidentally sat down
on his golf club..

I have seen this before. I forwarded it to UncleE and his golf group. At least one of them has a brain. He replied he never keeps his clubs in the house. Oh, it was not UncleE.
