I have a pretty good household when it comes to this issue- my husband will definitely change the roll because Heaven forbid he end up in need while in the bathroom. On the other hand I work with all women in a small office and I think I have assumed the role as official toilet paper changer there. It is as if they never even see the empty roll on the spool. What is going on there? Are they protesting that they have to do it at home so much that they simply refuse to do it at work too?

Believe it or not, my wife actually left me for this sort of thing. So, as much as I didn’t want to admit or see it at the time, CHANGING THE TOILET PAPER ROLL IS VITAL TO ANY MARRIAGE!!

I’m not married yet, but I guess this is something I need to start thinking about if I ever do plan on being married. I grew up in a household where everyone just pitched in and did whatever needed to be done. So, I don’t think it’ll be a problem for me. I’ll just be sure to keep an eye on the toilet paper roll :)

I guess I can admit on some level that I understand this whole thing; but I have to confess that I don’t really “get it.” Maybe I get more out of work b/c people do appreciate what I do. But, “work” is called “work” for a reason. We all have to do work of some form whether we like it or not. So, why is it that housewives get away with doing all that moaning and groaning?

Amen! and Amen! Just when I think I’m the only one…
I am now a stay at home mom whose former life included being a therapist, which is why I read this blog. Who knew I was going to find such a timely entry today? I love staying home and taking care of my family, but I do find that I often feel I am the only one who cares about what I do. And, of course, I feel the whole issue exemplified is none other than the toilet paper roll. No one cares if it’s changed just as they don’t care if I folded ten loads of laundry AND put them away, cleaned the toilet bowl until it shines, or blew off the driveway so trash doesn’t get cleaned in the house. I’m kind of stuck there at the moment, so this list may indeed be just what I need-Lord knows I’ve tried almost everything on the top list to absolutely no avail!
