"The Wife" - The person in charge in many smart homes

… or it’s the end of my smart home - according to my wife

Nothing personal, but how many posts I’ve read about guys desperately trying to emphasize the “emergency situation”, because the wife will take appropriate actions when the malfunctions don’t get fixed (read: get a divorce, or toss everything out the window).

It’s just too funny to read about as outsider :rofl:

Today my wife had problems with the wifi (automatically my fault) after a lot of puzzling it seems Apple had some problems with the “blocking ip tracking” feature from icloud+ but it took a while to figure it out.

My wife wouldn’t throw me or the stuff out the window or file a divorce (atleast not for this) but when something stops working it’s always “What did you do this time?” … and i think she doesn’t believe me when i say i didn’t do anything… :sweat_smile:

How many of you will immediately look at their wifes when there’s a glitch on the Television?
Or am I the only one not in control of the remote? :joy: :rofl:

I’am spending a lot of time abroad for work. Because of that I made some ‘start flow’ buttons and made them favourite on my wifes phone in case something isn’t working. She can restart the Homey and Netgear router when necessary.

This is something that i recognize. :wink:

When she is watching tv and something goes wrong with the broadcast and the screen is black, she sometimes sends a WhatsApp to ask if I am doing something with the tv. :joy:

We are just trying to make everything bulletproof, and we use our wives as laboratory animals :sweat_smile:

I think there’s a good proportion of guys who bring it upon themselves by ordering and installing this stuff without talking through as a couple, if it’s even a necessary purchase.

Maybe ‘talking through’ ends up in ‘why’ and ‘is it really necessary’ ?
Arguments you never hear when shoes or dresses are bought ? :smirk::rofl:

Every time I’m stripping wires I just get ‘Warn me if you’re gonna cut the power. Even if it’s unintentionally’ :wink:
