AS POSTED TODAY IN BIGFOOTS CHAT BOX!!!
Thursday 9:34 <sledbunny> femme i am not that good..just well trained..lol
Power to sledbunny! You take good care of your man...and his buddies...and your home...and your kids...and your biz....go girl!!!
Although thruthfully I am one of those who says "I am proud to be 'untrained' and I work hard to keep it that way!" Sledbunny and I are of a different mindset...but I sincerly admire who she is and what she does and can't wait to meet her!
Me on the otherhand...well, hubby does his own laundry, we share the housework although I do the detail work, and we both cook even if I cook more...and after sledding he gets some cheese and a few snacks for the ride home...if he remembers to pack them
I grew up that way, my mom and dad are the same. There are still definite 'pink' jobs and 'blue' jobs still, but there are far more 'purple' jobs!!!
Sledbunny is perfect! I am amazed at how much she does, she is such a sweet and caring individual. I could never be as good as her, so I won't even try. :d
horsechit! Now get in the kitchen and make me some pah!
Well I will start off my thanking all you ladies for the very nice comments. I really suck at trying to type what I wanna say without sounding like a dork. I like to joke about being trained but the truth of the matter is that 22 years ago when we got married and decided to start a family. We made the decision that one of us would be at home all the time with the kids. I was the prime canidate for that position. When we first were starting out, my hubby was hardly at home. He was on the road trucking in the oilfield. He works long hard hours and was gone for a very long time. He missed many of birthdays, anniverseries, christmas, etc. Mean while I am at home, raising kids, and running the day to day operations. We gave up alot in the beginning but it has paid off. And since he works so hard so I can live in the lap of luxury (ha ha ha) I feel that I can do my part by helping out and getting everything ready so he can head out to the hills and enjoy ourselves. I figure that since he works so very hard, I can do my part by helping him out.. Okay it sounding dorky but I am sure you get the picture.. And I try to pull my weight equally or somewhat equally... LOL I do realize that not everyone is in the same situation and we all have to do whatever it takes for our relationships to work and last. As long as we are all healthy and happy in the end that is all that matters...:d
