Why can't I play "dumb"?

Why is it that I know how to work the dryer with the broken knob but my DH can't figure it out? Is it that what he doesn't know he doesn't have to worry about? How hard is it to fit the broken knob on to see where it's at on the dial, and then use the wrench to turn the broken knob so that the clothes actually DRY and don't just spin around on fluff all day? I think he will be getting a new knob for Christmas this year! Think I'm joking?

All kidding aside, Terry does a wonderful job working to bring home the money. And it stops there. Oh wait, he's also wonderful at fishing....which he does almost every weekend. And then it really stops. He doesn't see "clutter" around the house, dirty dishes, dirty kids, unbrushed teeth or mismatched clothing. He has seen a lot of angry wife, but even that doesn't faze him most days.

That said, I am truly being a brat by wanting my husband to be "manly" and fix things around here that need it (like my dryer knob, change the furnace filter and thermostat battery) while I also want him to be "girly" and see all the things that I see around here that drive me bonkers....and fix those too! I guess I want it all....but I'd just settle for some help.
