The other night my power went off. My neighbors were kind enough to bring me a generator, and came to fetch it last night. They drove down in a truck with the three kids; the husband took the baby home and the wife and two older kids were left to drag the generator up the hill. I went out to help, of course, but I couldn't help being in awe of a marriage so devoid of sex stereotypes. I mentioned it to her, and she hadn't even given it a thought. They both just do whatever needs to be done, from childcare to dragging a generator 2/10 of a mile up a steep dirt road.
I thought it was rather fabulous. I am interested in your thoughts. |

That's the way a true partnership should work. Why does it matter who does which part, as long as it gets done? I admire them for having that.

Team work! I'm up for that type of relationship. This story is a great example too.

If he was so nice why didnt he put the generator in the back of the truck and drive his wife back. Just a thought.

Was not judging just curious. I don't want people thinking he is some kind of slacker that sits around watching his wife work..it isn't like that. I think she said- take the baby home and the boys and I will get the generator. The baby was fussing; the dad was in the truck with him at the time; the mom was already out of the truck; it made sense. |

I wish more "married-with-children would understand that you need to do whatever it takes to make things work. Too many pampered women...demanding attention. It is a partnership and a female should not be afraid of a little dirt. Who knows, it might be fun?

Taught me so many basic values and learned to appreciate the conveniences. I am there with you hiker it washes off. You know it...and when you are a farm kid...you have not experienced it until it squshes through your toes...LOL I also have to admit that my Dad used the pitching chit chore was a VERY affective disciplinary tactic...especially after a long night out (if you know where I am going)  Hence, the learning tool.

What really got me was that she really didn't think anything of it. Most women I know would have been whining and fuming and claiming that he wasn't going to get any..she saw nothing strange. It was so refreshing.
