Sex and beer. And steak or other meat stuff.

You have selective hearing. I suffer from the same problem. He's an attention *kitten*. Ignore him more.
PMSL :laugh:

Honey you don't need anything creative, you need to listen to your husband and make it a priority to remember. You are hurting his feelings big time. Your kids are important, but they will grow up and leave you. If you want him around when they are gone, pay attention to him
Use google calendar and sync the calendars so you know what's going on in his world. It seems like a total cop-out that you know what's going on with the kids. Seriously, if you can't remember what is important to him (he's a man, men are not usually communicative unless they're telling you something important), write it down. If XYZ is happening and he is waiting for a response (need a sitter, need to rsvp, he's up for a promotion, interview, etc), write down what day that thing is supposed to happen on a calendar and then ask how it went.0 -

yeah, neglect the kids, cuz one day they'll be adults. great logic.0 -
He actually wants you to listen to him? WOW! What a reverse role! I usually got scolded from not listening to women babble about nothing. I would just say 'Uh hu.. yea... thats nice, of course dear" while I was thinking about how I can find an excuse to go fishing or something.0

This won't help you tonight, but I have a dry erase board where I keep everyones schedules. Regarding today, dress sluty and remind him how expensive it would be to train your replacement.0

Send the kids to a sitter. Greet him at the door naked. Sit him down and tell him, "tell me all about it" while you disctract him and make yourself incapable of being asked questions (if you know what I mean.)
Boys are easily distracted by naked things.0 -
Buy steaks and beer, stat :laugh:
And don't forget the bj.0 -

We have a REALLY good relationship...and he gets plenty of attention - to the tune of 4 days a week, if you know what I mean.
You sound like super woman! What color is your cape?0 -
This is all great advice. But why does everyone assume he's on his way home? What if you forgot to pick him up at the airport or something?!0

You forgot something. You fessed up to it. You feel bad because you DO care. You are not the worst wife in the world. You are human.
Sheesh.
And where IS the damn remote control??0 -

Ha! We live 2 hours from an airport...I have 2 kids and a dog...and a job! He can drive himself home from the airport.
But, I HAVE to tell you all how it came down. He came home. He was pleasantly surprised.
Then, I said, "So, tell me about that thing this morning?" He said, "What thing?" And I said, "You know, when we were talking earlier, you said something about being done with something and it going well". He was SO confused. He said, "I don't know what you're talking about. I had a few meetings this morning that I don't think I even told you about. I think maybe I said something like: "My meetings ended and the day is going well".
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Sheesh. Well, hubby is happy, wifey is happy and to all of you judgy-judgersons - all is well in happy marriage land. And, I can assure you, that next time I will TRY to listen, but cannot promise I won't forget....but I suppose I can take a look at the big dry erase board I just installed over my husbands 60 inch flat screen to find out what he's up to this week.
Now...what do I do with the naughty school girl outfit I just bought?0 -
And where IS the damn remote control??
I don't know! I have a four year old that likes to hide stuff. The other day I found a tampon in his Nerf gun...0 -
