"Yesterday I asked you to submit your guy questions to my husband, Jeff. Q: rachelburton336 and sruggi1 want to ask men, &amp;quot;What is with all the forgetting!?&amp;quot; Similarly, LSmall asks, &amp;quot;Why do we have to ask you to do something? You can see the dishes need washing or the vacuum needs to be run, but I always have to ask.&amp;quot;[Note from Josey: Ruh-roh! I think Jeff&amp;#x27;s stirring up some controversy with this answer...]A: Jeff says, &amp;quot;I&amp;#x27;d love to chalk it up to inefficiencies in the male genome, but these same men can remember the batting average of their favorite player when facing six-fingered pitchers (yes, there is one) on windy days in September. The truth is that we have a subconscious need to feel important and appreciated: We want to feel important in that we want you to recognize that we have so much serious stuff going on at work that we don&amp;#x27;t always have time to remember or notice the little things like dishes or scheduling. And we want to feel appreciated in that we want you to think we&amp;#x27;re heroes whenever we do help out.The good news is that, when we remember things or finally get around to vacuuming, we do a pretty good job and sometimes even enjoy it. My recommendation? Keep bugging him while silently reminding yourself that his genomes are lazy.&amp;quot;What do you think, ladies? Does his answer make you feel any better? Does that sound about right to you? Don&amp;#x27;t hold back just &amp;#x27;cause he&amp;#x27;s my husband; he can handle it (and I can assure you I&amp;#x27;ll find it funny if you lay into him)!
