To add to my original post of having the hubby well trained, I also rembered that I laugh a lot at him when we are pitching things.

We bought an Outdoor outhouse XL last weekend, for £25 instead of £55 as it was the display model and had two small holes in it.  So came sold as seen, with no instructions.  I tried to pay attention as we took tent down in the shops field, but there was a delay of about a week in trying it out at home.

Well I rembered fairly well, but DH could not remember and I couldn't stop laughing at him getting in a tangle and not understanding what I was trying to do. We did think the neighbours would wonder what the hell we were doing, with comments like:

'Put that in there, no push it harder'  then followed by hysterical giggles from me.

It takes forever to do anything, but it is very funny.

What a wonderful thread - it makes me soooo relieved that others are the same.

I like Spiculum's idea about the frequent wine stops altho I doubt my husband would go for that - why live for now when you can stress about the future is his motto I think.

I keep quiet with my teeth gritted & try to think about his good points but that doesn't last much longer than tipping out the pegs I'm afraid.

Ah well, I suppose it's a bit like childbirth - you quickly forget about it afterwards & then want to do it again next year.....

if one person knows what they are doing, they should be in charge really.

Totally agree. Unfortunately, we often have one person who knows what they're doing and another who thinks they know what they're doing!
