If I look out the window to my left, I can see my husband working on the roof of the new barn we're building. I can also see the fence that we built, the goat barn that *I* built, and the duck pond that *I* dug. Earlier this week, I dealt with the slow running drain in the master bathroom. "Guy stuff" is nothing new to me, I've done it all my life (my dad used to call me "the middle son".) Around here, I don't have a "honey-do" list, it's more like a "Bunny-do" list. I am quite capable of doing most of the repairs and chores around here, and will get to them if he doesn't do them first. When it comes to the heavy lifting, though, he has bigger bones, bigger muscles, and much more stamina than I have, so he's simply better suited to it. Besides, (and this is the important part) he needs to feel needed. So while he expects me to be as independent as I need to be, there are some things that I leave to him because it makes him happy to do stuff for me. Anybody who has seen us together can see, we're a team, and this is one of the ways we take care of each other. Gads. look at the time!
Perry, this is exactly where I was headed except that I ran out of time. As fun as it is to poke fun at the men in this kingdom, as maddening and exasperating as they can be at times, every one of them take care of the people they love. So, lousy as it is that doodle and Em found some rotten apples, I think there are a whole lot of "keepers" out there!
George, I think the biggest mistake people make is ever taking us seriously.The Princess would laugh hysterically if she saw me with a 25 year old. Probably bring out the will to make sure that all was up to date.What a way to go.
Where is all of this male bashing that I have been missing. Oh, that's because I'm one of 'the good ones'.
I think that some folks are just too serious.
