Be prepared to give three examples, and also use lower end kitchen remodel recommendations that emphasize what are real savings and what are false savings that cost more in the long run. Gather it all together, weed stuff out, and when you have something coherent go to him for a discussion. Tell him you want to take a time out whenever either one of you get upset, and only do a little bit at a time. That's how we do it. Still not perfect, but better!Impish1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-58417470840805446902011-11-07T21:38:10.812-05:002011-11-07T21:38:10.812-05:00Susie,

In addition we need a new stove top, oven, refrigerator, new window, new door and additional cabinets and counter tops on another will. We’re fairly far apart. <br /><br />Abby,<br />At least that would be something but when he’s really annoyed spanking is the very last things on his mind.<br /> <br />FD,<br />Thanks for the comment – I think I’ll be sending your comment to Nick!!<br /><br />KG,<br />I really don’t mean to be stubborn. I don’t want to blow a fortune on the kitchen but I have certain ideas and I really want them heard and considered.<br /> <br />Ronnie,<br />I keep telling Nick that I’ve already saved him thousands over the years. Most women would have insisted on redoing that kitchen several times since we’ve been married. I should have the money from what two remodels could have cost!<br /><br />Paul,<br />You’re right on the lib thing. Nothing wrong we us being legally equals, equal pay and everything but for a while we seemed to forget that men and women are not the same. We can’t lose sight of that.<br /><br />Hermione,<br />LOL! That won’t be a problem. I do want the kitchen to look good but it’s not like I ever use it. Eating out for several months won’t bother me a bit.<br /> <br />Faeire,<br />Why are so many guys like this? Come on every 20 years or so loosen up an do it up right. Thanks for the good wishes.<br /> <br />Mikki,<br />I like FD advice too, but in Nick defense - genetically speaking, we could be needing to support ourselves for a while. We both have many family members who have lived well into their 90’s! That’s why we have never been wasteful. We just disagree on what is needed.PKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02050453501744475319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-90912371692460752012011-11-07T17:06:14.037-05:002011-11-07T17:06:14.037-05:00I'm sending prayers, not much advice...

And whatever time estimate they give you, double it, then double that number. It takes way longer than you think. Be prepared to have your microwave in the livingroom and your coffee maker in the bathroom for a while.<br /><br />But the end result will be well worth it.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />HermioneHermionehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395671806340391253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-40118554289984244582011-11-07T05:38:04.322-05:002011-11-07T05:38:04.322-05:00PK, if I were you, I would negotiate a bottom line...PK, if I were you, I would negotiate a bottom line, then ask Nick to leave the details to you.<br />IMO, the Feminist movement was fifty percent brilliantly right, and for the rest, equally wrong.<br />Love and warm hugs,<br />Paul.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03790580459962602757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-26420464251620562062011-11-07T05:28:00.419-05:002011-11-07T05:28:00.419-05:00That's men for you, to them why spend an extra...That's men for you, to them why spend an extra £100 pounds on a particular item when you can get one that's cheaper and will do the job.<br /><br />As you both agree that the kitchen needs remodelling why don't you agree on a budget together and then I'm sure you can get the sink you want by shopping around and cutting down on some of the other smaller items and still keep Nick happy with staying in budget. Does that make sense:)<br /><br />Love,<br />Ronnie<br />xxronniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16402712634206383021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-22267261669966017312011-11-06T22:36:10.930-05:002011-11-06T22:36:10.930-05:00mmmm im not sure what to say PK - but im thinking ...mmmm im not sure what to say PK - but im thinking that this maybe a path to being spanked for being too stubborn and arguing with him and not letting him be the leader that you want him to be????<br />On the other hand, its your kitchen.

At this stage of your life, you are spending your kids' inheritance. A happy wife is better than leaving more money for the kids. <br /><br />And tell her the price she pays for the kitchen she wants is X number of spankings. A win-win.<br /><br />And sorry if I gave too much advice.<br /><br />FDFlorida Domhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08785387941624829985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31522777.post-55260298783908057442011-11-06T21:30:45.491-05:002011-11-06T21:30:45.491-05:00LOL...I am saying good luck.
