So many guys I know don't know how to make it through the day without calling their wife to fix something, or remind them where something is, or get them to run an extra errand.

All of my wife's friends tell her their husband gets antsy/irritated/put out if she's away from home too long in the evening. They call/text multiple times asking about kids' bedtime routine, etc, or just to ask when they're done with whatever meeting/activity they're doing.

My wife went on a girls long weekend with her sisters-in-law and my mom. My wife reported that my brothers called their wives no fewer than five times a day to ask random inane questions, like, where is the next box of diapers. Shoot, I felt a bit bad checking in with her the two times I called total, after the kids were in bed, just to see how she was dealing with members of my ridiculous family. She said everything is great except for my brothers, and sometimes even dad, interrupting the whole time.

How are you people not able to figure out how to get your own children in bed? How do you respect your wife's time so little that you can't let her be with her friends, or other ladies in the ward, or just 20 minutes alone for a pedicure?

Please PRETEND to be capable!
