When the wife says there are not enough hours in the day what does she mean by that

She has a habit of saying that lately.I am curious to know what goes on in their minds when women say that. :)

It means she has so much to do and not enough time to do it and she has a husband who doesn't help her out either.

Well now isnt that an interesting response! It means that there just isnt enough time in 24 hours to get done everything that needs to be done. But if she has been saying it a lot lately - maybe there is a whopping great hint in there that a helping hand would see that everything did get done!!

What is going on in a womans mind is: Hang on! I work too and yet I am still washing, cleaning, ironing, cooking, clearing up, putting the kids to bed, sorting out what is needed for tomorrow, doing admin stuff, etc etc. Couldnt be that you are just coming in from work and sitting down and thats it for the day for you could it?

Try asking - I think thats what she is angling for here!

she means that there is so much work for her to do that there isn't enough hours in a day to finish her jobs! I think she might be hinting for help from you! If I was your wife I wouldn't bother hinting as you are oblivious to to them, I would make a list of jobs and encourage you to get on with them! life is sooooo much easier when men do as they are told instead of thinking! Thinking for men happens at work, leave the thinking to the women at home and you will stay very happily married!!!! I am being nice here!

She is trying to get you to help out more with the jobs she is trying to get done because she is finding it difficult to cope with the load on her own. However, she doesn't want to sound bossy or whatever so she is dropping hints, hoping you will pick up on it and help out without her demanding it of you.

Try doing some of the jobs for her, and don't make a big deal out of it or expect something in return. Women hate it when guys do that and you may find that she will be in a better mood and have more time for you.

it means you should perhaps put the video games on pause and help do things that benefit more that just you.

do your meals cook themselves?

does your laundry magically appear in the closet?

do you have a house that cleans itself?

stop being a dork and talk to her. maybe she is hinting politely that she needs some help.

it means she's so busy, and really overwhelmed... maybe with work/ kids/ managing the household...

she has a lot of tasks she needs to get done, but time flies by... much too fast for her to complete them all and still have time for herself

:]

try lessening her load

Women and men both say this, it is said when we feel we dont have enough time to do everything we need to do, we wish the days had more hours to do these things.

She needs help. Can you hire a maid? If you have kids make sure they're helping around the house, you too! Arrange for her to have a Saturday afternoon with her girl friends getting their nails done. She'll come back refreshed.
