Yup- it’s that time of the year again for all of us to give our husbands the famous “Honey Do List.” It’s the great expectation list that we all want completed before the summer season is in full swing. Well, I’m here to say that from my experience, the “Honey Do List” doesn’t work and I have the evidence to prove it: I have numerous notebooks that I call the “Honey Do Diaries” that I started back in 1989 that my husband is still working on today. He was one who never responded well to the “Honey Do List,” even though I made them anyway for wishful thinking. So after almost 25 years of marriage I decided to do the opposite and give him a “Honey Don’t List,” which is given to him seasonally via email and text message now. No more writing in the “Honey Do Diaries” for me anymore because those days are long gone. All I can say now is things have definitely changed since I started my “Honey Don’t List.” He seems to respond better to the word “don’t” verses “do” because after he reads the list he ends up calling me a bitch and leaves me alone…and at this point in my life, it’s all that I want! God knows after all these years I’m entitled to something, seeing that, it’s the least my honey can do. Here’s to the lists girls, Cheers and Happy Summer!
