I didn't know you really felt that way ...Wow, girl. I didn't know you really felt that way about it, well, yes I did. I love to do all those things for my children and when I need my husband to step, He will, (I have to tell him several times but he will). You got it made with Rusty though, he does truly love you and he pulls a lot of weight with you and the family. Being a mom is doing all the things you said. I know you love it and I don't think any man should say oh, that's just not my job because marriage is a partnership and so are kids. Do you know my father-in-law has never changed a diaper in his life, he has 3 kids, and 7 grandkids. I think that is crazy and to this day he does not do the dishes, laundry or even make a meal. I think to myself how can Linda (my mother-in-law) deal with that and I have asked her and she said she loves taking care of him, it is the job God created her to do. How can you argue with that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274292914741120591.post-75039592616276036282009-01-14T06:20:00.000-05:002009-01-14T06:20:00.000-05:00Ok, here is my take on this: Dads do get somewhat...Ok, here is my take on this: Dads do get somewhat of a pass for various reasons. I laid out clothes because I wanted you guys to go to school in clothes that matched, were not grossly wrinkled, etc. I was a teacher--I know how cruel other kids can be about things like that, and I never wanted your feelings to be hurt. I packed lunches because I wanted you to have a healthy lunch, with a variety--sandwich, fruit, something salty, cookie or whatever. It is much easier to pack a lunch when you just toss whatever is prepackged in a bag (and that is what most guys would do). Your father pulled his fair share when it came to things like doctor's and dentist's appointments. Teaching, I had zero flexibility and he truly took up the slack during the school months. True, he didn't do laundry, but I didn't want him to. He threw everything in together and I really wanted your socks and underwear to look clean and not gray and dingy.Cooking was not his strong suit, but he was great about taking you to tastee freeze or someplace, which you loved. I guess it is all about choices and what you can live with.Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16896482796980306902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3274292914741120591.post-51586629416947147882009-01-13T21:48:00.000-05:002009-01-13T21:48:00.000-05:00You could be wrong.
