As the mother of a 5 month old dd I have to admit that I have been a little busy lately.

Last night in bed I commented on the rather extensive nature of dh's toenails saying that they were what one would expect to find on a streetperson. He responded with 'sad at bambi's mother dying' face and said that this was because 'no-one is looking after me'. I pointed out that most men in their 30s manage to groom themselves and that I had been a little busy for a while growing another person. I asked whether he thought under the circumstances my lack of attention to his enormoys great grown-up person's feet was unreasonable. He suggested that I might wish to canvas opinion on here. I have no idea why as it's clear that he IBU and I ANBU however I thought that if I could add weight to my argument I might be able to get a massage and maybe a pedicure out of it.

Am regretting reading this aloud to DH. During the first several posts he was aghast and "what?!"-ing at the idea of my trimming his toenails, but after a bit of a think he's come back with "maybe you could trim them! it would be so much easier than doing them myself!" sigh. :)

Cakewench I apologise profusely. It was never my intention to disturb the balance of power in your marriage: I only wanted a pedicure, a kebab and my foo fluff trimmed: all of which has just been agreed by dh. As you can see though rich rewards are possible so maybe give it a go?
