I wish these comments weren't anonymous, but for the sake of advice, I will answer anonymous questions. I can assure you that I will not write any fictitious comments. Do I actually need to? Look at my past Wife Advice

I have chosen not to post anonymously because I think by knowing it is I who posted, you can help me better.

So, here's my issue: I know that my husband likes to watch sports on tv to unwind after his hard day at school. I think this is important for him to do, so to help make the experience better, I make sure that I coordinate dinner with his sports. I mean, I want to serve his meal as hot as it can be and at the best time, like half-time or the seventh inning stretch. This way, no tv time is lost for him.

I was thinking of extending this idea out to lunch and breakfast, but I am not sure what he would like best or how I should do it.

Help Dr. Donkey, I don't know how to appease my husband's appetite. I need a man's advice.

Dr. Ass Lips

I need some advice. When I get home from work, after talking to people all day, I want some time when I don't have to talk to anybody. Some days I need a snack, some days I want to watch TV, some days just read or do nothing. My wife, after spending a day with the kids, can't wait for me to get home so she can have some conversation with another adult (her words). Her mouth is going a mile-a-minute as soon as I get inside the door, and I just want to rest. She doesn't seem to like or even understand that I don't want to talk to her right away. I am not saying I need to be left alone, but is it too much to ask for 30 minutes when I get home to chill out? Please help me oh master of the mule.

Dr. Donkey,

I have an issue that I've been dealing with for most of my marriage that I need some advice on how to manage. My wife is a stay at home mom while I work full time out of the house. My issue is regarding the role of the stay at home mom. My understanding was that by making the decision to stay at home to be with the children (which I agree is the right decision to make if your circumstances allow for it) that the wife's responsibilities would also include maintaining a clean and orderly house. Was I wrong in assuming that this falls under the role of housewife? Now don't get me wrong i'm not saying that all the cleaning needs to be done by the female, i'm all for helping out around the house and currently do a large portion of the cleaning in our house, but is it too much to expect a tidy house upon arriving home from work? I know that our children can be quite the handful but for some reason when I have them on the weekend I can still manage to watch them and clean the entire house myself. Dr. Donkey give me your thoughts. My wife is a great lady and works hard I just wish I could have a house that was a bit more tidy.

Dr Donkey,
How does an ass such as yourself stay married after making so many foolish mistakes and then posting these mistakes for the entire world to see. Did your wife know what she was in for whe you two were married?

Dr. Donkey, I received a gift certificate to a restaurant for my birthday. I decided to take my brother and the next thing I know my wife is upset I didn't take her. What should I have done?
