I can't believe how many guys don't handle their own business and think its ok for the needling wives to do it for them.. I wouldn't call my wife's work and ask questions anymore than she would call mine.. To me it's only common sense that the employee deals with the company they work for not the spouse or their mommie..
Now my wife and I will be team driving after we finish school so the fact will be our employer will be one in the same. But I'm sure we will still be handling our own situations with the company without the other's interference. It's just the way adults do things.
It's just amazing how some adults actual think..
I wonder if their mommies still call if they feel lil johnny isn't being treated fairly. Obviously some think that would be ok
Now, maybe I understand why companies feel the need for inward camera's, obviously some folks never grow up and need babysitters their whole life.Last edited: Jun 16, 2015

Maybe you prefer to have your wife guide you through this big, intimidating thing called life, but me.....Not so much.
My wife has my cell number if she has any questions related to my work. Or in case of emergency. -

When I was with Knight, there was hardly a week went by that they did not screw up my pay. I was more than happy to have my wife be on the phone with payroll, while I WAS OUT THERE MAKING MONEY! Of course I could have done the calling myself, but I chose ask her to do it, since she was the one at home, and paying the bills.
My belief is that marriage is, or at least SHOULD BE, a partnership. People who are worried by their partner "taking over," don't have much of a relationship going, in my oplnion. And I think it is extremely telling about them, when they take to putting down people who don't think like they do.
Now I am on my third marriage. It took me three tries to find the right gal. And a good part of the reason for that, was that neither of my first two wives wanted to have a partnership. They just wanted someone to "take care of" them.Hammer166, NavigatorWife, bullhaulerswife and 2 others Thank this. -
In 18 years of marriage my wife has never called my employer. And I've never called hers. That's just embarrassing.
She can see my pay through direct deposit. If she has a question about my benefits, I look it up online or ask my employer directly and tell her about it during dinner. She and I talk about things and she does not go over my shoulder and I don't go over hers.
We trust each other and we treat each other like grown adults.Dumdriver and D33RHUNT3R Thank this.
