Seriously, what is wrong with us women? Sometimes I think we are complete idiots, even though we seem relatively intelligent. Why do we put up with such crap? Next time I'm definately coming back as a man. Then I could spend all my free time just having as much fun as I wanted, with none of those Annoying responsiblities associated with being a husband and a father. It's easy to do, just leave your marriage and never look back. Let your wife deal with the kids, the house, the yard, the dog, the car repairs, the mortgage, the school principle, sick kids, dental bills, bullying, laundry, shopping,cooking, transportation and the education of your Children. Just walk away, shut the door and don't look back, you know that your ex-wife and the Mother of your children will gladly take on the added responsiblity and take care of everything. So run, date other women, travel, play golf, forget to call your children, go to the bars and out for dinner as often as you want. It is just so amazingly simple - just block out those annoying memories and forget that you had a wife and kids that were in your life 24/7 forever. Yes, next time I will be a man.
Oh wait, let me think about this, if I was a man I wouldn't have such an intimate relationship with my children, I wouldn't be the one they wanted when they were sick or have a problem. I wouldn't be the one they called in the middle of the night when they are scared, I would miss out on all the little things that I treasure every day with them. I wouldn't have amazing friends that talk about their feelings and share their lives as mothers, wives, daughters and friends. I wouldn't have had the amazing experience of giving birth and the bond that only a mother and child can have. I wouldn't know what it is like to care for another human being completely and love them more than I love myself. I wouldn't be able to cry when I was sad or scream when I am angry. I wouldn't have been able to feed my child with my body, watching them grow sustained only by what I produced. I wouldn't have been a Mom.
So maybe, just maybe I will come back as a woman. Ican take the added chores, the responsibility, the exhaustion of raising children because with it comes such a sense of joy that I think only a Mother can have.
