I'm baffled at the number of threads asking whether everyone else ALSO does such and such, for example: "who else's dh is like this?" or "do you get a push present?" or "how much time do you spend talking to dh a day"? so I'm putting up a poll.

I'm just curious George.

Also, if I see on here that all the other husbands take out the garbage and bring bedikos to the rabbi and do the weekly shopping, I can tell Dh, "see? I am gold!" and see how far that gets me.

I don’t😀


People ask because they want to know if they’re the only ones with this issue. It reassures them.

Neither do I. But I agree with this post. It's probably for reassurance that they're not the only one.

I'm baffled by the number of people baffled by this. It's perfectly normal to want to know what other people do.

Straight up curiosity. I don’t ask questions, but will read these threads. Curiosity should be a poll option since that’s most likely a lot of the “other” votes.

I'm just an undercover kerfuffler. Of course I want to know what everyone else is up to.

Because I’m too polite to be a yenta in the real world, but curiosity is very human and normal!

I don't know that I've ever started a poll like that; if I would, it would probably help me guage whether or not my expectations are realistic. Obviously everyone has unique circumstances but I could see where it would help to get a general idea.

OP, why do you feel the need to know the reasons other people do the things they do?

Exactly this. Never started a thread or poll, but I read them avidly. I'm a people person and I find other people's lives fascinating.
