How To Stop Your Husband From Going Hunting
How to stop your husband from going hunting did not come out of my mouth however, someone did type this in google and reached my site.
My immediate reaction was I could never imagine thinking this, feeling this and then searching this. I understand that everyone’s situation is different. There are some women that just like having their husbands around, maybe they have kids at home and it’s difficult when their husband is gone or maybe it has something to do with trust. Whatever their reason, it was important enough to search.
Then I received this comment on my post about things to do while your husband is hunting.
this list is so stupid, well things on it that make it easier for the lazy hubby to find the tv remote when they come home after a nice day away from home in the wooods w/nature! lazy husbands suck!!!!!!!!! poster you need to post a TO DO LIST FOR the wives when 4 when (the HUBBY’s) come home! PLZE get up to date in your time………..
I can only share with you the things that I do while my husband is hunting. What person loves to clean? Not many but it has to get done and for me that is the perfect time. As for a list for my husband when he gets home after enjoying himself in the woods, he’s a grown man and knows what needs to be done. We don’t have list’s for eachother. We don’t tell eachother what needs to get done nor when. I think in both situations there is something much deeper going on than just a problem with deer hunting and I would like to address this next week in a post.
I’m not speaking for other wives, I can only speak for me. I’m sure there are lazy husbands out there but my husband isn’t one of them. He helps around the house with cleaning, laundry, dishes and cooking without being asked. He works a 40+ hour week, takes care of the house, yard and anything else that needs his attention. He isn’t one to sit down and enjoy himself all that much. So when hunting season approaches I have no problem with him taking time to do what he enjoys. He deserves it.
As for me getting up to date in my time - or the times. If you’re a regular reader here you will understand the following …
After spending a long day cleaning and making my home sparkle for my husband, I will await his arrival home after a long day at the office while I sit here in my June Cleaver dress and pearls. I’ll be sure to take his shoes off for him, light his cigar, have his 4 course meal on the table and a homemade apple pie.
Oh heavens, I forgot to iron my apron.

That is one interesting comment that they left. Sounds like this lady might be stuck in 1954.
I help around the house, do the laundry, do the dishes, and whatever else has to be done as well, so if I want to take off and go hunting for a day that is my choice….and one my wife supports I might add.
I think your commenter needs to get with the times:):):):)

You do wear a dress with white gloves and heels to clean in right? I think your reader may have their thoughts confused.. When my hunter comes home, if my house is clean and things are arranged..then that makes some time for US..!! It is quite possible that someone may not be in a very happy relationship?? just saying~

We don’t tell each what to do around here and much like you said, we are adults and know what needs to be done. I’m a grown-up and don’t want to be parented anymore. If anyone tried to tell me what to do then I will rebel and never do it, so I don’t boss and don’t want to be bossed.
If I notice something that needs to be done, I either do it myself or keep my mouth shut. It all works out in the end.

I’ll never understand women who think they are their hubby’s momma - not his wife.
As for what we do when hubby gets home from a weekend of hunting - well, that is none of anybody’s business… like marky says - it’s some time for us

Geez…..my husband and I have been married nearly 30 years…we would have never lasted this long if it wasn’t a partnership. We both have always worked full time he has his resposibilities around the house and I have mine.
Likewise, I have interests outside of the house and so does he.
Sure there are times when it may be a little one sided, but the scale tips both ways.
And I like to wait on him occasionally…but when he surprises me with flowers on Sundays, just because…it reminds me why I like to do that.

It sounds like your commentor doesn’t have a husband who hunts, or is a man who isn’t a hunter.
My husband isn’t lazy either and also helps me out around the house. Sometimes he comes in and just starts cleaning. Talk about feeling lazy when that happens.
Don’t change a thing about your site or your list. There are always going to be naysayers.

There are definitely deeper issues at work inside that commenter’s head. Healthy relationships are about both teamwork and compromise. And healthy relationships allow room for separate hobbies and interests. It’s all part of the dynamics of human relationships.

Love how you end this post, Jody - made me laugh! As others have said - no need to change anything here - and judging from how you end this post, that thought never entered your mind anyways!
I’ll second what Blessed said and leave it at that.

I hope this woman reads these comments. After the talk we had today about other things, her comments really irritated me! What is with these people. She obviously has time on her hands in order to search the web. I want to punch her in her eye! Keep on posting your thoughts. After all, THEY ARE YOURS!!! She doesn’t have to like it. Geez!

Wow, what an incoherent comment that person left!
And I guess the person who searched for how to stop your husband from hunting is probably married to the troglodyte who hunts to get away from his wife…

I think it all boils down to one word, balance. We each do our part to make sure everything gets done - and when it does - I go hunting, she goes shopping. Its what makes us both happy in our individual ways. Later we reconnect and do something together. Its not rocket science…

You know what I LOVE about when my husband leaves to hunt (like now) - I clean AND my house actually STAYS clean! I don’t have to worry about what to cook for dinner (dd and I had cereal last night LOL) and I can go shopping and not worry about what time I need to be home!
Do I miss him? sure! but I LOVE me some alone time too!!! After all, it’s worked this was for over 22 years now!!
