word of advice for guys if your wife is pregnant...

[troypiggo]

If you have a few mates that ask you out on a Friday night to go see the Reds play the Crusaders in a pre-season game, and you ask your pregnant wife if she'd like to come too to get out of the house, and she reluctantly declines because she's been getting a sore back lately, but she's thoughtful and generous enough to say you can go out and have a fun boys' night out, and she asks what time you'll be home, and you say probably around 9.30 the game will finish, and while you're at the game she texts you and says she's looking forward to you coming home because she's feeling like "hugs", and you say ok ...

DO NOT come home drunk at 2.30am, strip off your clothes, spill chips from the casino all over the floor, climb into bed, tap her on the shoulder and ask if she still feels like some "lovin".

That's all I'm sayin.

I made $150 on Blackjack though.

[FredSnerd]

Ahh the old, you go with out me and have a good time, and I'll be OK trap. I shoulda told you about that one. They're a treasure aren't they.

[bloodhound31]

Hugs...like a cat that sits on your newspaper while you are trying to read it...

always when you are doing something, never when you are doing nothing...

[leon]

You twit.

Leon

[troypiggo]

I'm with Leon. I shoulda known better.

Still... how was I supposed to know her offer had an expiry period? :)

[el_draco]

Mate, yo are going to be paying for that $150 bucks for the next 20 years.....

DUMB DUMB DUMB :screwy: :screwy: :screwy:

[Roobi]

lol agreed here youll be paying for that one for a while.
Speaking from experience (by that i mean im female) When you guys get permission to go out with your mates, just make a time to come home and stick with it... thats all we want most of the time.... for you guys to actually stick to what you say!!! lol

[bert]

My 21 week pregnant wife just had a good laugh at your expense!

Maybe you could put the $150 to a good divorce lawyer?

Brett

[Rokketboy]

The first mistake you made was saying "9.30".
ALWAYS.ALWAYS. Add atleast 2-3 hours onto your estimated home time. Then, when you get home earlier than you said, its brownie points in the bag and maybe even worth some lovin;)

Such a rookie mistake. Shame, shame.

[el_draco]

The terms "Good", "Divorce" and "Lawyer" are all mutually exclusive mate:screwy::screwy::screwy:

[floyd_2]

If you don't know why I'm mad at you, I'm not going to tell you! :mad2:

[bert]

Point taken. My bad.

Make a diary entry about this night out. You are going to remember it well and probably reminded of it for the next 30 years each and every time the thought of a boys night out crops up.

You live and learn.

I thought I played it smart and waited until the first was born, then had a big big night with the boys while she was still in hospital. Next day I was too sick to go in and see her. The bill for the grog arrived the day she got home and all the neighbours wifes told her I kept their husbands up drunk all night. Have I payed for that night at HOME.

[Wavytone]

Disagree :) but the OP took advantage of the situation... the question is, when will the price be paid...

[multiweb]

:lol: Not happy...Helga! ;)

[Matt Wastell]

Thanks for the advice Einstein! LOL

[troypiggo]

Hahaha. Glad you're all having a chuckle at my expense.

All is forgiven by tonight. I must be worth it for her to still be hanging around. :)

Re: the comment about saying a time and sticking to it, I agree totally. I normally do. This was a rare, unplanned bender where I just ended up going with the flow.

[AdrianF]

Take it from me(I learnt very early and have now been married for 32 years) all offers have an expiry date of approximately 25 seconds after the offer is made.:lol:

Adrian

[wavelandscott]

Much to learn you have young padwa...

Mistake #2 is believing that all is forgotten (not the same as being forgiven)...

She will never forget this event and although you have been forgiven it will be discussed again in the future...

[el_draco]

From my experience, and that or many other people I have spoken to, I have formed the opinion that the only good lawyer is one no longer capable of independent respiration.

I am yet to be convinced otherwise.

These random srands of RNA are even resorting to an advertising campaign in Tassie to try and convince us humans that they are not ethicless trash.

I state to you that this is my personal opinion... the one thing I believe I am STILL legally entitled to have.

To answer your question... NEVER. :(

[DavidU]

You may have been forgiven BUT it will not be forgotten.
I get reminded of things I have done from time to time that happened BEFORE we were married !!!!

[leon]

Its no big deal mate, ;) tell her sincerely, (and mean it, yes mean it,) that you are sorry, :love::love::ashamed::ashamed:and unless she is a person that cant forgive it will be all well. :thumbsup:

You will together laugh about this in the near future. ;) ;) we all make stupid decisions, especially with a gut full. :lol:

Leon :thumbsup:

[troypiggo]

She's over it. It's funny. All is forgiven for this incident, yet she continually brings up some tiny little comment I may have made 4 years ago in passing and can barely remember, yet she latches onto that.

It's almost like men are from Mars and women are from Venus or something...

[el_draco]

I'm sure a great many women could live there happily as well ;)

[astro_south]

Geez - sort of glad that I couldn't make it Friday night now mate ;)

[troypiggo]

Umm. It's actually all your fault. If you'd have come, I wouldn't have gotten into that mess...

[astro_south]

:D :D ... what makes you think I would have saved you? You might have ended up in more do-do :thumbsup:

[RobF]

I'll think you'll find over the next year your spare time during the day, between wife and bub, will drop to precisely zero Troy. There's ALWAYS something you were supposed to be doing.

Once bub starts sleeping reasonably well you should be right for nightime astro though! A lot to be said for having a night-time hobby with a young family....:)

[Waxing_Gibbous]

Dude!!!
No matter WHAT your wife or anyone else says...you are BONED!!!!!
Accept that it will always come back to bite you in the a** and move on.:D
My wife is still paying for the time she crawled home drunk at 3:30 AM when she was supposed to be back at 9. No phone call. No SMS. Pub crawling with work cronies in Soho.
That was ten 13 years ago and I still get mileage from it.:lol:
Alas, your situation is reversed. :shrug:
Be brave.

[Vartigy]

Heh, sounds like we've all got a bundle of experience in this matter.

Best way of evening the odds (or so we think)... is to encourage her/them/wifeys/gfs/better-halves to go out and have a girls night every now and then.
Because they NEVER... I mean NEVER arrive home when they say they do... thats if they even give you an ETAHome.
2nd part is they can't hold their liquor, so you're bound to be looking after them that night and the next day.
Those brownies... oh are they so bitterly sweet for years to come.
Theres nothing like "Remember the time I had to hold your hair back all night while you were in prayer to the porcelain god?" to put them back into place.

Or... there is always the reverse-guilt card.
When you do finally get home... make sure its around 8am the next day... they'll be up doing chores already and already in a FUMING mood.
When you walk in make sure you look like you've been mugged, raped, beaten with a fire hydrant, had a dog piss on you because you look like a fire hydrant, blood smears, shirt torn and wallet missing.

And usually these steps follow:
She's pissed off, fuming and about to boil over when she hears you open the front door.
You walk in, her anger immediately turns to confusion.
You spill your story on [insert random dramatic heroic action of a possible charitable nature] *(I like the one about saving an orphanage from being graffittied and trashed by a gang of youths)* and her confusion will turn to sympathetic awe.
Next minute you know, you'll be thru the shower, cooked breakfast on the table, and watching sport on tv all day.

Good as Gold.

Of course that could all completely backfire and she'll backhand you into oblivion.

[Roobi]

As well as backhanding you into oblivion, she'l find out you've lied about that one and never trust you again, or worse... Careful there Anfo

[goober]

Try her again at 42 weeks ... and be prepared to be tying shoelaces for her ;)

[Vartigy]

heh, yeh, should of wrote a disclaimer at the bottom of that joke:question:.
CAUTION: anyone stupid enough to try that is at risk of major repercussions.:argue:
