artist Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 1. HAVE DINNER READY: Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal on time. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him, and are concerned bout his needs. Most men arehungry when they come home and the prospects of a good meal are part of the warm welcome needed.2. PREPARE YOURSELF: Take 15 minutes to rest so you will be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift.3. CLEAR AWAY CLUTTER. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up schoolbooks, toys, paper, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too.4. PREPARE THE CHILDREN. Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces if they are small, comb their hair, and if necessary, change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like tosee them playing the part.5. MINIMIZE THE NOISE: At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of washer, dryer, or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Greet him with a warm smile and kiss, letting him know you're glad tosee him.6. Some DON'TS:Don't greet him with problems or complaints. Don't complain if he's late for dinner. Count this as minor compared withwhat he might have gone through that day.7. MAKE HIM COMFORTABLE.Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest he lay down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in alow, soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind.8. LISTEN TO HIM:You may have a dozen things to tell him, but themoment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first.9. MAKE THE EVENING HIS:Never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or to other places of entertainment; instead try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his need to be home and relax.10. THE GOAL:try to make your home a place of peace and order where your husband can relax.IN YOUR DREAMS!!!!!! :rolleyes: :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
