What do you want to do this weekend? Would you like to go to a sporting event? Maybe there are things on television to watch. Perhaps you would like to spend the time, resting on the couch. Your wife may not have the same ideas that you have. You can get out of doing certain chores, every now and then. It is best to begin your strategy several days ahead of time.

There is nothing keeping you from taking it easy all weekend. However, wives have a way of getting you to do things. You may start out on the couch, enjoying the day. The next thing you know, you are out in the yard with your Poulan chainsaw, trimming trees.

Plant mental seeds

Start your plan as soon as possible. Mention your need for a no work weekend early and often. She may feel sorry for you. It is worth a shot. However, this tactic has a low chance for success.

Another tactic is to prepare a meal for the entire family. Try to cook this meal on your own. Do not ask for help. You want it to be a pitiful attempt at meal preparation. However, your meal should still be edible. You are going to have to eat it. Make sure it is an easy to fix dinner. Be certain that it is not too tasty either. Otherwise, you may set a dangerous precedent.

One suggestion is red beans and rice. Get out her Zojirushi rice cooker, rice, and a can of red beans from the pantry. Rice cookers are easy to use and take little work. You can use a ratio of 1.5 to 1 for you the rice cooker. 1.5 is the water and 1 is the rice.

Add the beans when the rice is nearly done. You are finished. Try not to add many spices, unless you know how to cook. You can use things like salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Maybe you would rather prepare breakfast instead. French toast is not very difficult. You will need milk, an egg, a bowl, and some bread. Mix the milk and egg together. You can use a spoon or fork. However, it will look more pitiful if you use her kitchen hand mixer. That will prove to her that you have no clue, in the kitchen. Next, simply fry the bread for a few minutes. Do not worry if it sticks or burns a little.

In closing

There are ways that you can attempt to get out of work. If you can make her feel sorry for you, it might work. Perhaps you can have time for a three-hour game or a nap. Of course, the best way is to do some work on the weekend. Do the job before the game starts. It may also give you a free evening.
