Indeed, why let misunderstandings grow when we can nip them in the bud?
Remember the blind in D's room needed fixing, and D thought it needed her Dad to deal with it as he is strong? And I thought to myself, yah, when pigs fly, H will fix that blind...
Anyhow, I dismantled the mechanism, went to the shop to get the replacement part, and reassmbled it, looking at one in another room to figure out how it worked. Dirty, fiddly work up a ladder, but I'm glad I did it. I hope D sees that women are NOT helpless creatures that have to wait for a man to get anything done. And with 'certain' men, that would entail waiting for ever!
D did pipe up with "Mamma, you're always doing nice things for me!" after fixing her blind, making her a banana milkshake and buying her a cupboard tidy for her room yesterday.
