If you have to do the dishes,
Such an awful boring chore.
If you have to do the dishes,
Instead of going to the store,
If you have to do the dishes,
And you drop one on the floor:
OH YEAH! I remember "christening" the new riding lawn mower by doing those things until my Dad gave me the stern talk down about me running over broken fence posts, ruining the blade shaft. And another Toro riding lawnmower, by not checking the oil....where is the OIL on that thing? All I can do is to jump start it from my truck to mower to start the darn thing. And get the three and half acres mowed in two hours in HIGH speed, running anything and everything........didn't I get the job DONE????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My mom taught me to be independent.
I can do everything needed to make myself a useful person who can support myself and do for myself.
That makes me worth a lot.
By the same token, I would never marry a man whose values are not the same. Such a man is useless to me.
Fortunately, my husband is capable of doing for himself without whining about it if he needed to.
