The correct answer is "yes, dear".


So here's your evil plan. �Agree with your wife !!! �Tell her that
you'll go get a curtain rod and put it up and pick up some nice fabric
along the way. �All she needs to do is sew a quick sleave and a hem
and it's done. �NBD.


Go do your part and you're done. �Then she'll either be quiet because
she makes the curtains and the project is done or (b) she won't do it
but at least she'll stop complaining because it's waiting for her to
do her part.


And, don't mount the curtain rod until she does her part.- Hide quoted text -
