Plus that fact that you try to not be...like being a big girl and parking all on your own.<br /><br />The truly pathetic have no idea that they are pathetic.<br /><br />And maybe you just have too many responsibilities!Jason, as himselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630210317307544165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777572921251253526.post-20917897352848012262010-09-21T15:28:56.384-07:002010-09-21T15:28:56.384-07:00You are definitely not a girly girl. You may not ...You are definitely not a girly girl. You may not dig your own fence posts, but I say that is clever avoidance of painful labor, not being a girly girl. You are a woman who led a business meeting while breastfeeding-- not every woman could that, either. My husband can't figure out remotes, either, by the way. But I don't make phone calls if I can help it. So I figure out how to use our electronics and he calls people. :) I enjoyed your post and enjoyed seeing you at the conference!

Doesn't mean one of us is any better than the other, just different.<br />I am AWFUL at cold-calling or getting companies ie. Dell to do what I want. It may be my computer but Chris is the one dealing with The Situation and I don't mean the fool from Jersey Shore. I'd like to do it myself but I know I'll lose my temper and make some poor girl in Bangalore cry so I ask Chris to handle it. Better for all involved, me, Chris and the girl in Bangalore.<br />But I will handle Lucy's surgery from soup to nuts. That will be 100% my show and he just does what he is told. Drive here, stand there, etc....<br />We each have our strengths and there is no shame on one partner drawing on those when he/she needs themMentalMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18278030114279292954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777572921251253526.post-55456014764547695882010-09-21T12:38:38.855-07:002010-09-21T12:38:38.855-07:00I don't see logical division of labor as helpl...I don't see logical division of labor as helplessness or strength. I just see that it makes sense for each partner in the marriage to help each other, ya know?<br /><br />Although it was a pretty funny post...<br />"Maybe it is one of those cases where the kids look at a parent and say, "God, I don't want to end up like THAT."
