In my wards last relief society activity my wife was the only one to go without her child/children. Made me super upset that at 7 pm on a Wednesday the brethren couldn't watch their children for their wives.

Wife won't let me is a pathetic excuse.If they actually wanted to go, they would

BYUtka

So do guys use this as an excuse not to do stuff?

TNT

8/12/17 12:38pm

Yup. 99.9% of the time it is a lie/exaggerated half truth.

I blame my wife when it's something I don't want to do.

I have 8 kids under 15 and make it to every home game. 3 is no excuse.

Those husbands are to blame

JOPE

8/12/17 12:44pm

On the flip side, the husband is to blame because he doesn't pull through

Geldir

8/12/17 1:04pm

Most of the time the wife is just using the husband as an excuse.

BYUtka

8/12/17 1:17pm

Yikes. How do people function in marriages like that?

Zak

8/12/17 12:44pm

The marriage isn't really like that. They just say that so they can stay home to

Talk directly to their wives and watch how much they enjoy their husband blaming
