If my wife is working around the house, it is a certainty that she will seek me out and make sure that I am working also. Why is that?!? She can't work w/o making sure I'm doing something. Very strange.

If I'm mowing the lawn or working in the garage or cooking (I do all the cooking) I don't find her and tell her to get up and grab broom!

I am perfectly content to have her read the newspaper or watch TV or whatever she wants. She works her ass off during the week teaching school and then teaching aerobics 3 or 4 nights a week, so I don't begrudge her any down time. She's also working on her masters degree right now, but she's always had that quirk of not letting me be idle if she's doing housework.

Maybe she thinks I don't work hard enough at my job.
