For so many people
the above will ring true, but why..........
I feel that in many
cases a woman is her own worst enemy, I know I am.
I have had many
times when I have thought I have failed my child or children in some
way, but they don't think so. So why do I?
This is a question I
cannot answer, I don't know the answer.
I know I do my best
for my family and I always try to be there when they need me and step
up when asked to help but there are times when I have to say no I
can't help I have other plans and usually when I do this I will get
but can't you change your plans, I really need you mum do you have to
do such and such can't it wait and me being me will often give in and
change my plans but if I can't I get “fine don't help me then”
this upsets me and makes me feel like I am failing.
I know that I am no
but I can't seem to change how I feel and I will become depressed and
sad and sometimes I will even cry because I feel so bad. Even when
the daughter in question tells me she didn't mean it and she
understands I am busy it doesn't help I still feel terrible.
Also who do we say a
woman has to think like a man, what the hell is wrong with the way a
woman thinks............nothing if you ask me
Many women feel it
is wrong to age and have grey hair and some lines or even wrinkles on
their body it is not it is natural.
As for working like
a horse well yeah all women do that if we are married and have a job
we usually end up still being the one doing 90% of the housework
because men don't and even often if we have a man who is willing to
do some of it we will complain they have not done it “right” as
in our way as if our way is always the right way. We hate it when a
man acts like his way has to be the “right” way but in fact many
women when it comes to household chores feel that their way is the
“right” way.
Interesting post, thanks for the inspiration!

DeleteThat saying is no doubt out of date for today's women in most cases.
ReplyDeleteYeah maybe so
DeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
ReplyDeleteIn the older days for sure the woman had to do the lion share inside her home. My Dad would not lift a finger when I was a child. Mom had to work in the greenhouses, on the feelds + do all the cooking, laundry and cleaning with the help from us girls. Later years my Dad stepped in when she had already kidney dialysis. My husband is a great helper so we do about 50-50 if we can.
Sending you hugs,
Mariette
Tim has his moments when he can be a help but since I don't work outside the home I am fine with doing most of the work at home
DeleteSteve Harvey wrote a book called "Act Like a Woman, Think Like A Man"/ I haven't read it yet but it's written to help women become wiser in relationships etc. Might have to buy it sometime.
ReplyDeleteI have in fact heard of that book
