We are such nurturers and are just used to taking care of everything, making life wonderful for everyone. <BR/><BR/>If we can get our hearts to agree with our minds, then we will just say no.<BR/><BR/><BR/>MDC,<BR/>Fortunately this is not ALL my "other" but a combination of many comments from friends and colleagues that I have heard over time.<BR/><BR/>Still, mine thinks he has the market on "being tired", so maybe he needs to read or hear it really loudly.<BR/><BR/>liz,<BR/>I am so glad that your's has gotten better. I have to do better about just saying NO. I wonder what would happen if I just got up on Saturday morning and said, "I'll be back." ? I think I will try it a couple of times to see.<BR/><BR/>labellevie,<BR/>Hopefully, if and when you choose to become a wife and mother, you will have benefited from all of this Sage advice. smile. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13405532893901601517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313066669887209069.post-16949686838017757832008-01-28T17:18:00.000-08:002008-01-28T17:18:00.000-08:00Im not a mother nor am I married yet but this was ...Im not a mother nor am I married yet but this was interesting to read.♥LaBelleVie♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/13217875641369479007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313066669887209069.post-50037342900192108722008-01-28T15:50:00.000-08:002008-01-28T15:50:00.000-08:00Oh I feel you!

And explaining that it's not babysitting when they're your kids...been there too. And this was all when I had my crazy schedule and made more money than my husband. It quickly dawned on me that he believed that as long as he didn't cheat, beat me or come home drunk then it was all good. I was like, what a low standard, get your ass in the kitchen and wash the dishes you left in the sink! UGH! I could go on for days about this but thankfully, he's gotten better.Liz Dwyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17794296990587989214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313066669887209069.post-24492942603480388532008-01-28T08:31:00.000-08:002008-01-28T08:31:00.000-08:00Janie,WOW!

It is SO TRUE. I have complained about this very same issue over the years. I just can't imagine leaving the house without even saying when I will be back. That would be the equivalent of "running away".<BR/><BR/>Maybe we moms should start referring to our time with the kids as "babysitting" and see if THEY get it.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915912351833244193noreply@blogger.com
