If you really start thinking about the phrase "you're welcome" it really is the stupidest phrase anyway and makes no sense! In Spanish it is "De nada" which means, no big deal or no worries, that makes a lot more sense then telling someone- you are welcome since I did this for you, seems almost arrogant if you really think about it. ;PEmmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675419215475635276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-18309551164279362182013-03-09T16:48:40.419-07:002013-03-09T16:48:40.419-07:00I don't iron my husband's uniforms either!...I don't iron my husband's uniforms either!

I'm a Boy Scout leader, so I spent a lot of time with male Scout leaders and it is so much nicer! This conversation simply would not exist in the male world. C'mon over to the boys side of things. It's a bit more smelly and crude, but the company is a LOT less judgmental!

I don't see her offering to come to my house and do the ironing. I did pull our ironing board out a few weeks ago and my boys all hurried to gather 'round and look at this new contraption mom was working on!

I am just NOT a cloth diaper kind of person. I also nursed all 3 of my kids because it was fairly easy for me & I produced a shit-ton of milk, however neither of my sisters really could. They had a really hard time. If it would have been that way for me I totally would have popped a bottle of formula in my kids mouths! Who is to say that one moms way is right over another... uggghh that annoys that crap out of me!<br /><br />As far as a wife goes, I think I'm a great one. Do I always have the house clean... nope. Do I have meals waiting for him when he gets home... nope! He doesn't get home til 10:00 at night. On his 1 day off I make him dinner, but usually it isn't anything super fancy. Also, I do his laundry but I do not iron his tshirts like his mom used to... that just isn't happening! I've got kids to take care of & play with.<br /><br />Myyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03248342096609316500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-52418890690244385702013-03-08T19:51:11.309-07:002013-03-08T19:51:11.309-07:00Good for you!

I am a mother, a wife, a step mom, and a mail lady. I am NOT a maid. Tonight I am not feeling well, my 11 year old will make me soup and my 12 year old will tuck me in. WHY? Because I have done this FOR YEARS for them. It's part of being a family, and ultimately fostering independence.<br /><br />And someday they will make damn good husbands for the lady of their choosing. I feel sorry for that lady on FB... because 20 years from now, when her husband refuses to lift a finger to do anything, and she resents every second of his being home, she will have done it to herself.<br /><br />Wow. I'm awfully opinionated today. Maybe I should have sat on my hands. :)Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097214923216967086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-7176852521749108392013-03-07T17:03:13.540-07:002013-03-07T17:03:13.540-07:00Those women would HATE me.

My husband always does his own laundry, uniforms or otherwise... Probably because he's afraid I'll mess them up, but also because I am not going to do it.

I will take them to the dry cleaner if I have to and I will throw his NWUs in the washer but apart from that he has to do it himself. I wash my work stuff he can wash his own work stuff! He chose that job and was washing/ironing before he met me therefore he can continue to do it! haha. <br />My parents don't understand it but hey it works for us and no need to change something that works! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-12077583533688668282013-03-07T12:24:18.918-07:002013-03-07T12:24:18.918-07:00Tag, You're it!
