I Got An Ace, a 5 and a 2.... I WIN!!

I always knew that women were the better of the sexes due to the fact that we have the ability to bear children and not complain about it.  I mean there is always the mommy show-down of who's labor was worse/ longer, etc. but we never really truly divulge the whole process especially not to our husbands.  I'm not sure if it's because we want them to sleep with us again or if it is just because they couldn't handle it and you're a mommy soldier now with a stiff upper lip.  For some reason, we keep our secrets and we're all the better for it.

Men, ie: my husband, cannot handle any sort of ache, pain or illness.  Heck, I grow ovarian cysts the size of softballs and my only complaint was that I was peeing a lot, granted when that sucker popped I was to the point of passing out but I digress.  My husband lugs gomers for a living.  I realize his work is very physical and the fact that everyone in Genesee County besides my Bestie is overweight doesn't really make his job any easier.  I realize he is tired and sore/ achy when he gets home, don't get me wrong I'm not undervaluing what he does.  I sit in a chair all day long, hunched over and craning my neck to answer a phone.  I have aches and pains, too.  Mainly in the lower back/ butt area but still, I too am sore after work.  I don't come home throw myself on the bed and "woe is me" complain about crappy work crap.  I suck it up and clean my house.  End of story, do not pass go, do not collect $200, take out the dang garbage!

When I get sick, I take medicine.  I know that is a freakish concept to men out there but WHAALLLAAAAH!  Take some stinkin' Nyquil if you have a cold.  Please don't complain to me about how much your cough hurts in your throat while coughing on me.  Did you take any medicine for it?  No, then I don't want to look at you let alone hear your complaints.  "The Complaint Department is on Holiday. Please check back another time.  Thank you."  It's a cold, not the end of the world and I promise you aren't dying.  In 10 days time you will be better and I will be sick and I will still be scrubbing toilets and making dinner, after washing my hands of course.

Dear Men,
Suck it up and get back to work!

Love,
Suzs  :)
