Wife Lonely.....

[BOB W]

My wife can't wait for tax season to be over, she says she is getting lonely. What do you do to keep peace at home?

Let her come in and help you.

Comic Relief

Bob, it's a mixed bag. Callie says she's glad to have me out of her hair, but when she wants things to get done then she blames taxes because I don't have time to really do anything.

Some guys fish. Some guys play golf. Idiots like us do taxes.

Here's a different spin on things.

My husband ends up watching the kids on the nights and weekends while I work. I watch them during the day when they're not at school/pre-school; in between my appointments and preparing returns of course.

So hubby gets home after working a grueling 10 hour day, usually has to cook his own dinner, entertains the kids till bed time, does baths, stories and tucks them in. I don't think he complains mainly because he loves the extra income I bring in because it's not income we depend upon. It's our play money.

I really only work hard on taxes for a few months out of the year because I don't currently offer payroll/accounting services. That might change in the next year or two. After tax season, our lives go back to normal, whatever that may be.

It's normal for your spouses to feel lonely (at least if they like you it is . When my husband used to get sent out of town on jobs, I really missed him.

Look at it as a sign that those ladies still love ya! Or maybe they just miss their handyman being there to get the work done around the house. Or both. I have no doubt you'll make it up to them!!

What about the dog?

I don't worry about my wife being lonely, I worry about the dog not recognizing me late at night and biting!

We work together

My wife and I work together in our business (not real large, we'll do around 350 sets this year). She handles most of the phone calls regarding making appointments, getting additional info when it is required, and calling folks when thier taxes are done. But I think the part she gets the most ENJOYMENT out of is checking the returns as I finish them. It is her job to tell me when I'm wrong!!! She denies it but I swear that she has a little snicker on her face when she tells me I've screwed some numbers up. We spend more time together in the tax season than most other times.

Mike,

I think that'd be so cool if some day my husband and I got to that point. It will not happen any time in the near future, but hey, I've already had him taking messages and letting my clients in when they arrive. It's a start!

Maybe "high end entertainment" could be an option for your "lonely" wife - lol

and in my case, very enjoyable time! Sounds like it's the same for you.

Having my wife work in the office is great, most of the time. She likes to discuss all the clients and I'm concentrating, so we have to find time for that.

Get your man in the office full-time! You'll love it.
