what does we mean

djcisse

Is it just my girlfriend or is it all women that say that we need to do something but it normally means you need to do it and we get the credit. For example, we do to something to make the yard look nice or we need to give the dog a bath.

Sounds normal to me.

If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

The sound of a 12 gauge pump clears a house fatser than Rosie O eats a Big Mac !

We = you, for the hard or nasty part, then we = her when its done.

I redid a bahroom once, the only thing "we" did was bit#h about when the toilet was going to be reset. Till it was done. Just part of life.

Those people who see nothing but grey areas, no black and white, are lost in the fog.

Let's just say "we" have a baby.

It's my baby when it smiles.

Its your baby when it poo's.

Yeah, but I'll bet you never hear the ol' lady say, as she's bailing you out of jail, "we got drunk and wrecked the car."

Haven't you ever heard the old joke, "We shot a bear -- paw kilt him!"

In my experience, this pertains to far more than family. I was once employed in an operation that prided itself on "teamwork." It was, as I discovered, also the most political workplace imaginable (office politics) where any cooperative effort on my part resulted in any number of parties stepping forward at the proper moment to take individual credit for anything at all that was positive & even faster to cast blame for anything at all negative. "WE" was an article of faith to upper management, it was less than a joke in the real world. I didn't stay there long and made no allies - I refuse to play these games! In my house when I hear "we" I am frequently moved to ask if the speaker has a mouse in his or her pocket because I only see one person endorsing a particular action!

Yeah...the worst thing you can hear is this one:

" WE need to talk. "


" God is in His Heaven, All is Right in the World. "

"We need to talk." = "You need to listen to me."

Next time ask her is she French.

If you will blame gun makers for every shooting then blame car maker for every car accident.

Having just bought our first home, the "WE" beast has reared it's head more than once. "WE" redid the laundry room floor. "WE" put a new faucet in the kitchen. "WE" installed the fuse and ran the wire for an eletric stove. "WE" fixed the steps going upstairs. "WE" put in a new vanity in the downstairs bathroom. "WE" did what was needed to complete the deck. Not wanting to sound whiney, but with all the work "WE" have gotten done, how come I'm the only one who feels tired?

My wife uses the WE word on all the above tasks,,,
But when it comes to the MONEY,,the word she uses is MY!!



"Just my opinion."

wundudnee

Now that the "we" word is figured out, just who is "some body?"

Some body needs to take out the trash.

Some body needs to mow.

Some body should get busy.

It must be the same as "we."

I can't stand it any longer guys. We around here at our house is a joint effort. We built a new shed at our house in Georgia so he bought me a jig saw so I could cut all the plywood. He held the ladder so I could climb to the top and measure everything. He held the ladder while I climbed onto the house to nail down shingles and place gutter covers around the roof. He carried the tools and helped cut the boards when we built a landing and stairs for my folks' house. He suggested we needed to wallpaper the bathroom and hallway so he dropped the tank on the back of the toilet so we not only got new wallpaper, but a new toilet as well, and by the way, I wallpapered and bordered the bath and hallway (all 30 feet of it including up the stairs and around the four bedroom doorways and bathroom door.) In the house here in Arkansas I have placed new wall outlets, rewired the dryer to fit a different dryer electrical outlet and cut down trees. Although I did have to call AAA to pull the truck out of a hole I drove into. We do as much as possible ourselves with him providing the strength for our efforts (he is 6'2" to my 5') and I cut the straight lines and do the close in work. My hands fit up under the hoods of our vehicles in the tight spots his won't reach, so I have changed spark plugs, installed alternators, power steering hoses, loosened nuts and bolts and ferreted out lost tools. My idea of a good day shopping is browsing the aisles of a Lowe's. Also, let me mention we have four children (all honor students, in track, basketball and ROTC-the two oldest girls), I work full time and took our oldest daughter on her first deer hunting trip two years ago. Rant over.

I was in a state of panic Saturday. She said, "I'm going to replace that faucet in the kitchen". That usually means she will get it to the point of complete foul-up and start with that "Honey" stuff. After the football game on Friday, I was in no shape to bend down under a kitchen sink. Thank God she changed her mind.

Like in the NFL, defense is the key.
