The Brief vs Boxer Debate

Here are our new house rules - the husband now is taking his fertility supplements so his troops in production that will be going into battle next month are strong and healthy. In addition I am insisting on the switch from briefs to boxers. Not the grandpa looking print kind but the sexy looking cotton jersey ones.

My feeling is that since the husband agrees to take the supplements and change to boxers then - he should follow through -- Well he keeps forgetting his suppliments and I keep seeing dirty briefs in the wash. The answer to why this is happening is always "oh I forgot" or "there wasn't breakfast food to eat with my suppliments".

Number 1 - I got him a weekly pill box that he has my his computer mouse so he can see it each morning when he is on the computer. Number 2 - we always have something even if it is just toast or OJ. Number 3 - before all the new house rules went into effect I asked the husband if he would be willing or interested in these changes. He agreed so I bought the suppliments and the weeks worth of boxers.

My feeling is that if I am taking my my fertility suppliments and temp every morning, charting my fluid every day, testing my saliva for fertility, and doing LH testing - then he can remember to take two supplement pills and climb into boxers each morning. Maybe it's just me and I know I am really being thorough with the charting - but still. Let's put it all into perspective - lasiness or forgetfulness shouldn't be a reason for not following through - it's an excuse.

Now don't get me wrong - I love the husband - I would lay my life down for him. And I really am not mad at him - really I am not. But It just erks me the tiniest bit. I think when we do the wash this week I am going to put all the briefs in an undisclosed location for later use. My big fear is that I just don't want to be the naggy wife that harps about taking the vitamin supplements.
