Grew up on a farm...the only daughter of a farmer with three boys older than me....I have certainly pitched my share os chit in my life time....and I am grateful that I did! 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 lived in the city all my life but I live in the country now..you haven't lived until you have been knee-deep in manure. |

I remember being in my 20's and I lived with my fiance who was my son's father and one day......after doing the dishes 140000000000000000000000000 times...I explained to him that just because I was born female didnt mean that I "liked" doing the dishes etc........I think he was honestly SHOCKED!!!

Some of those who have responded obviously do not appreciate the thrill of pitching chit! It can be a learning experience...especially when you screw up

Uhm, not to interupt this love fest or anything but....
I'm a woman, I want to be treated like a woman, if he's a man, I'll treat him like one. Alot of chores should be shared, I used to mow the lawn all the time, I loved to do it....but lets face it a man is much stronger than a woman. Kill the bugs, take the trash out, and carry the heavy stuff...other than that we can share everything equally... |

Kill the bugs, take the trash out, and carry the heavy stuff...other than that we can share everything equally... the problem is, once you start doing that you open it up to his and her chores. There is no reason a female can't take trash out; I do it all by myself every week. So if I designate that a "man's job", what's to stop him from saying cooking is a "woman's job"?..It's a slippery slope... But I would take your trash out for you... |

I think my thing is, I don't want to be treated like a woman, or treat a man like a man. I want to be treated like a partner; and treat my man the same. I can't do the whole 50's worship the male while sitting on my pedestal thing.

I wasn't raised on a farm but I was taught that a relationship is 50/50 no matter who does what. I learned it from my mom who was a single mom for 10 yrs

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. Extremely nice neighbors I would say. |

Bless your heart...when you are faced with making things happen, it is not always 50/50 and for the most part the womansucks it up and makes the day to day happen. As much as I have dealt with...get over it, deal with it, and move on ALREADY
