A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife
stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:

"Dear Lord,

I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely
stays at home.
I want her to know what I go through, so please allow her body to
switch with mine
for a day. >> Amen."

God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish. The next
morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman. He arose, cooked
breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, Set out their school
clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, drove them to
school, came home and picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the
cleaners and stopped at the bank to make a deposit,went grocery
shopping, then drove home to put away the groceries, paid the bills
and balanced the checkbook. He cleaned the cat's litter box and
bathed the dog.Then it was already 1 P.M. And he hurried to make the

beds, do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen
floor.

Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with

them on the way home. Set out milk and cookies and got the kids
organized to do their homework, Then set up the ironing board and
watched TV while he did the ironing.

At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for

salad,
breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper.

After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher,folded
laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed. At 9 P.M. He was
exhausted
and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed
where he was expected
to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint.

The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and
said, Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy

my wife's being able to stay home all day. Please, oh please, let us

trade back."

Amen

The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied, "My son, I feel you have
learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the

way they were. You'll just have to wait nine months, though. You got

- By Ory [si] Date 23.02.06 12:36 UTC
Cute story ;) ..... but I was thinking, how about stay home dads? i know a few and they're doing a great job. It's all about who makes more money and has a more demanding job. If a woman makes more money/better qualifications or something like that I can't see a problem with a dad giving up his career :). I mean I don't see a difference between a man and a woman these days. There are more individual differences than differences between both genders.
- By HuskyGal Date 23.02.06 12:52 UTC
oh No!! Sssssssh Ory!! *hides screen from OH* ;)
lol, its a good point tho!
My OH is desperate to be a house husband/dad :eek:
It does fill me with pride in the pub when he holds his own against 'the lads' ribbing him for it.....but....Im kinda looking forward to getting out of the workplace ratrace :( Ive worked and studied real hard to get the house and financial status to be secure for this (so has he granted,lol) and was looking forward to settling down in the nest!
   Mind you to be fair..mid thirties and Im still not maternal (when??does it happen??) Im kinda holding out for Medical science to make a break through and develop 'The Male pregnancy' :eek:!!! If he wants to be a house husband/dad then let him have the good and the bad :D :D
Like that'll happen!!??
- By Ory [si] Date 23.02.06 13:00 UTC
LOL, it sounds like you have a great guy there HuskyGal! ;) As for being maternal.... don't worry about it. I kind of realized that if I decide to wait for that feeling (hasn't happened yet and I'm 27) I'll never have kids. So I reckon if it happens it happens.... not every woman is born with a desire to have children. We're not born perfect mothers, we learn as time goes by. ;)
- By LJS Date 23.02.06 13:12 UTC
HG my OH is always saying that he would give up work and become a house husband :)

He soon changed his mind when he looked after Indigo for two days a couple of weeks ago when she was suspended from Nursery :eek::eek: He said it was a nightmare as he was on the go all the time trying to keep her amused on his own :D :D

He didn't realise what hard work it was ! :eek:
- By HuskyGal Date 23.02.06 13:16 UTC
ROFL :D
yeah, I have my suspicions..its the same with the dog,get the latex glove box out and mention anal sacs..and Poof!... there's a cloud of dust,some tumble weed blowing past...and can I find OH???? :rolleyes: :P
- By LJS Date 23.02.06 12:46 UTC
And the three words I didn't cut and paste properly last night were......'pregnant last night'  It's the way you tell them :rolleyes: :D :D
- By HuskyGal Date 23.02.06 12:53 UTC
B'Boom ching!
*drum roll,cymbal clap*
At last thanks Lucy :P
- By Tracey123 [gb] Date 23.02.06 13:41 UTC
You may take a bow.....
- By Isabel Date 23.02.06 14:32 UTC
:D :D for the longest joke ever!!! :p :D
- By voors [gb] Date 23.02.06 14:52 UTC
The polls there but I can't vote because it just says upgrade in progress try again later - does anyone else get that? I don't think its anything you've done wrong though, maybe admin just haven't set it up properly :confused:
- By Missie Date 23.02.06 14:54 UTC
