I Hereby Declare....

That sometime soon...my husband and I should switch jobs for the day. Kind of like spouse job swap. After the day I had, and BOY was it a doozy....I was complaining and Vance was all pfttttt....that's nothin'.




So, then he started complaining about his day....and I said, bring it on! So we decided that we should each switch for the day. I know physically, I couldn't keep up with his job all day, but I'm pretty sure mentally he couldn't handle mine.




What do you guys think?




Could your husband do your job?
(Can you see him up there?....clear at the top!)
Could you do his?

um, absolutely not would Mike be able to last 5 minutes in my classroom with my behavior students!

(and absolutely not would I be able to last 10 minutes in his computer office--unless I shut the door and played solitaire all day!)

i know i couldn't do jared's but i think he would also go crazy sitting in an office all day and not be outside working. i think spouses should change jobs for the day, i think it would give each of them an idea what the other one does or goes through daily. great post!

I had to chuckle--great post!!! No way could we switch jobs! He couldn't handle being home with four kids all day every day, let alone homeschooling them, and after the day he had yesterday--I wouldn't take his job if they paid me $100,000!!!! (or 2--maybe 5!!! giggle) I'm not into stress headaches.

I think that Steve could do my job. I don't think that he could handle dealing with customer complaints and I know he couldn't handle my bosses.
I couldn't even start to do Steve's job. I don't even really understand what he does all day.
Just FYI I also couldn't do Your or Vances job. Hope today goes bettr then yesterday.

Gail and I have the same conversations. I know I couldn't do his job. He says that he could do mine because he'd just kill the kids (he, he)!! At the end of the day we're both tired from either physical or mental work. As long as he doesn't hog the blankets, it's all alright.

My husband would be fired if he did my job because his solution to teacher problems is a size 10 1/2. So, no, my husband could not do my job! As for me doing his...well...I could probably learn to do his, but I really like my summers off!!!! Love ya, Kristina

Thanks for the paint tips! I am interested to see your gray walls. . .I want to do something like that (because I want to accent with red and black) but I was afraid gray would make the room feel too cold. Do you have a pic or two that you could post or email me?

Thanks a ton for your help!

P.S. - Did you ever get your basket?

I'm pretty sure I could learn to do my husband's job, but there is NO WAY that he has the patience, grammar or computer skills to do mine. I guess no matter the daily struggles we endure, we're better off staying in our own jobs/comfort zones.

Great post! My husband and I have had the same conversation!! It would make a great TV show...can't believe it's not already!! The other day he called me from the grocery store being the stinker that my hubby is...just to tell me how smooth things were going and how easy it was and how he could so do what I do all the time!(he had our youngest with him) Ya...right! Next time he's getting all three and the whole list for 2 weeks, then he will see how smooth it goes!! ha!
