Is it just me or is it all wives?

Yeah, Linkat, it's probably an ingrained thing that we're taught to do. I'm free of all that now, thank heavens, and have developed a completely different attitude about my role(s) as partner, mother, grandmother, etc. I found I was 'rescuing' a lot and I'm no longer doing that.

Rescue ME!!!!

ha ha - you're about a year too late!

Aint it grand!!!?

(...to stop rescuing, not being a year late for Linkat.)

Liberating, Squinney, absolutely liberating.

I wasn't going to say this but since you mention it... I wonder if it's partly that you want all of the bases covered or if you want them all done 'right'.

Not accusing you -- let's just say I can relate.

As many of us can.

Funny - the being done right part - my husband can actually be more picky in that aspect. We all have our little issues.
