When I was a young girl, the definition of the ideal man was tall, dark and handsome. A good job wouldn’t hurt. Well, times have changed. Having a couple of girls makes me look ahead and wonder who they will end up with. WHO will be the father of my grandbabies? (if my future girls are reading this… have no doubt that I expect grandbabies. Lots of them.) Well, I’ve decided that as their mother I get to come up with new criteria for picking a partner.
Of course, I do adore my husband (I swear honey, if you’re reading this, this list doesn’t apply to me) ๐
– Did he have colic as a baby? Don’t take any chances, make sure he was an easy going baby. Neither of you were so your odds are already low.
– Does he have a big head? Delivering a big headed baby = no fun.
– What is his family like? You will be stuck with them at every holiday. EVERY holiday. Beware.
– Does he pick up after himself? Try and find out if his place is clean when you’re not there… kind of like secret shopper, just pop on by on a Tuesday night.
– How much does he drink?ย Seriously, you want to be able to have a glass of wine or two with him, but not a case…
– Do your friends like him?ย Girls are stupidly blind when boys are involved, listen to your friends, it’s like a sixth sense.ย Or your mother, I’m never wrong.
– Does he play video games?ย Oh sure, it seems adorable right now when he spends all weekend playing vids and eating old pizza with his bff.ย But just you wait until he’s 35 and you’re vacuuming a two foot diameter of crumbs around him while your children beg to go to the park.
– Most important: does he like your mother?ย Because I am absolutely not prepared to ride the wave of your teenage years only to see you end up with a guy who is bothered by my daily phone calls.ย ๐
Your list is not biased AT all ๐
I love this one. ๐
I wish I had known the colic one ๐
I was colicky so it’s my fault.
