Why can't men ever admit..
Dh and I disagree on so many things its a wonder we are still together. "I" can admit when I'm wrong and yes he keeps throwing it back in my face...its ok...I was wrong. When he's wrong, its no, no, no I'm not wrong. I can point out how he's wrong, I can prove he's wrong and he still says he right. Our latest is paint. He says I don't use enough and I say he puts it on too thick. I can prove he's wrong when the paint he puts on crack and peels. Today I spent about 2hrs scraping the teeter because first, he put primer on too thick, and over that he put paint on too thick. Paint won't crack and peel in a short time if its put on right. He says the primer didn't adhere to the wood and that why it started to peel.  Never heard that one before. He painted the kitchen about two years ago and you can see where the paint is cracking. There are spots where it actually started to drip down the wall.He's wrong, I know it, I proved it, and he still says not. |

Oh, I dunno. It's just my gut, but I'm thinking you're not right about this.  I'll always be the first to admit when I'm wrong, and I will prove it.  Just as soon as it happens.  |
| If the primer didn't adhere it was the wrong type, the wood wasn't prepped correctly or it was improperly applied. He's still busted. |
 Pam, it wouldn't matter if he won't admit he is wrong IF he would just stop painting. Especially since you end up doing the scraping.  |
| Yeah, I don't let my husband paint anymore. He doesn't seem to get that it's supposed to go on smoothly and that you're supposed to sand all the little spackle spots before you apply paint. |
Your hubbys remind me of my step son when he was younger...when I would send him out to cut the lawn, he would do everything in his power to break the lawn mower so he wouldn't have to finish the lawn. His theory was "if I do such a crappy job of it, she'd never ask me to do it again." It never worked, but he got points for trying.  Good luck with the painting. |
| That is chronic.... When we were kids, we got my dad a birthday card, and it had one of those buttons that you can wear as part of the card. It read : "once I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken" You don't find those epic, perfect cards often enough!!  |
| The thinner the paint coat, the better it adheres. Many coats of thinly applied paint makes a beautiful, smooth, strong surface. If you're in a hurry and just want to slap it on, you'll get drips, brush marks and cracks. So says the furniture painting hobbiest. He's wrong, you're right.  |
I don't have paint problems. If I even mention paint, Bob breaks out in hives. Bless his heart he always has a smile on his face when writing a check for the painter  |
| Most paint cans now tell you how many square feet it will cover. Granted that is higher math.......to figure area ..... but it is a starting point to point out his error. Naw, I wouldn't either, not worth the hastle. Also was the teeter hot when painted. That's where I used to get DH.......he was in a hurry and would paint the hot metal. Thankfully he's now to the pen and checkbook phase as well , now. |
