    Just blocked faceboook...

    ...from our network. The wife is going mad

    The thing is even the kids were starting to notice the state of the house. I'm at work all day and I know it sounds old fasioned, but I'd think the least my wife could do is to keep the place clean and tidy whillst I'm out all day, but no, she's flipping burgers and tending her farmon facebook. Now, I don't know about anyone else but I know she's got better things to do.

    Hum, brave lad

    I do understand how you feel though, I have had to pull out of some online fora due to getting too sucked in, losing track of time and generally not having enough discipline to realise how much time I had spent in 'there'.

    My defence, Your Honour, I have to do Social Media/Marketing stuff for some clients.

    Just a thought, will your wife be banning you from on here

      Not for nothing was I known as the Victorian Soldier and the Victorian Father.
      Well done sir!

      Online farming etc apparently does take up a lot of time, possibly even to the detriment of other nefarious activities (housework being one of them) although I must confess to being in awe of your bravery at banning the wife from said site.

        Did you ask her to play less first?
        She is after all an adult and simply blocking a site is treating her more as a child or someone who is not responsible enough to decide to do the right thing.
        FB can be pretty addictive but I'm not sure your approach is a very good one. Sorry PD.

            So, what are the kids doing about tidying their own mess up?

              Oh deary deary me. Quite agree with you Incy. I know I spend too much time on this blimmin thing BUT to be banned would in no way encourage me to "to keep the house clean and tidy". I would probably wreck it!

                I'd wreck the OH first. Why make even more mess in the house?

                    I wouldn't need to buy a mate any beer......hehehe
                    Seriously though, a marriage is supposed to be a partnership. You're not treating her as an equal there and she's quite right to hit the roof....or you!

                      Hah - I've sussed it Pdblake - reading through your post on the 'can you read this' thread you did the blocking under the affluence of incohol!
                      So shall we start a book on how long you last before restoring the access?
                      I do agree with Incy, it is not the best way of dealing with a house that is behaving badly - for which, surely, there is shared responsibility?
                      Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?

                        One has to wonder who makes the mess in the first place???!!! Clearing up after other people tends not to come very high on my list of priorities.

                          Don't do Facebook, but can see your point Pd although surely there could have been a little more diplomacy, no way on Earth would I dare do that to His Lordship, the result would be on News at Ten if I did.... and it's me that does all the chores

                            Why is the wife spending so much time on FB? Is it because she perhaps feels unloved and unappreciated in a job that pays no overtime and has no holiday entitlement?

                              So with you TS. Our house is always a mess. I would love it to be tidy but as OH is a house husband it is his (agreed) job. He doesn't see it so I blitz the place from time to time. He does however cook amazing food, do the school run in the afternoon ( I usually do mornings through choice) clean the bathroom and help with building raised beds, shifting soil etc. I love and appreciate him for what he does do and have learnt to live with what doesn't get done.
