Hi,

Speaking as the unprepared wife ....

Nope, being prepared had nothing to do with DH and I getting together. When we met he was too intoxicated to realize my many shortcomings, and I didn't care about being prepared. However, many years later, here I am today being slowly converted ...

Our relationship has evolved, and I now expect DH to be prepared for everything. In fact, I occassionally chastise him for not being prepared for some circumstance (even though I am equally unprepared).

Oh, and I also frown if DH puts half a dozen water bottles in the car for a trip. After all, I know that I'm the one who will be stuck with the job of washing all those water bottles. It took me a while, but I finally convinced DH to cut down on the number of water bottles in the car. (We carry about the same amount of water as before, just in larger containers.)
