BenThereDunThat Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 yaah, see thats what i'm talking about. peace, harmony and the natural order of things. I see commercials on TV nowadays with celebs telling parents to sit down and eat dinner with their kids. WTF is that? It was normal when I was a kid. Those days are pretty much gone, I'm afraid. No one eats dinner together anymore because they got their kids in umpteen different sports/activities. And if you were to be the traditional household, think about it. Who would your kids play with after school? All the other kids are at daycare! Same with summer. No more kids running around the neighborhood. Remember how common it was to hear mutiple mothers calling their kids in for dinner or bed? You don't hear that anymore. And I'm sure I would be doing the same thing though. I wouldn't want my child to be left out, or to be the odd one and not have anything to talk about with the other kids. Link to post Share on other sites
jen_jen_heartbroken Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 No more kids running around the neighborhood. That's because they are glued to their xbox, or chatting on myspace. Kids today don't even know what stick ball is. Link to post Share on other sites
BenThereDunThat Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 That's because they are glued to their xbox, or chatting on myspace. Kids today don't even know what stick ball is. I know! Or flashlight tag, or chasing lightning bugs, not to mention we live in a world where we all of a sudden need to be protected from ourselves. How many kids did you know growing up who suffered permanent injury from riding their bike without a helmet??? I'm so glad we didn't have to do that. Send your kid out without one now and you're an abusive parent! Link to post Share on other sites
IpAncA Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Same here. Hard to find the balace between taking control and being controlling though. I need to feel protected and taken care of. That and someone who knows that the furnace filter needs to be changed every month! Yep. It's kind of hard to explain though. When I'm at work or with other people I'm usually the dominant one, but once I get home, I'm not and my guy takes over mostly. He's the head of the house and I like that feeling of him being in control, protected, safe, and taken care of. And having someone who knows that the filter needs to be changed monthly is a plus. Along with fixing things without me having to bug them about it especially when it comes to car issues. I don't want someone to say "just take it in." I want someone who says "Gezzz i'll fix it" and does. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 She worked her butt off taking care of us, the house, dad. Our house was always spotless. She clipped coupons every Sunday, grocery shopped every Friday. WOW! Sounds like a dream life!!!! (runs screaming into the street) Link to post Share on other sites

Send your kid out without one now and you're an abusive parent! O that helmet thing ticks me off also. I never wore one and I would never let my kids wear one also. Getting dirty, playing outside, getting scraps and such is what being a kid is all about. Not playing video games, have those blogs, etc... Kids now a days are so brainwashed and have no idea what fun actually is or what playing outside actually means. Link to post Share on other sites

jen_jen_heartbroken Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 .... protected, safe, and taken care of. That really is a wonderful thing...and what a man should be. Women are the nurturers of the family and men are the protectors. To deny this is to deny basic biological fact. Link to post Share on other sites

BenThereDunThat Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 It bugs me so much when I see those rolls the other way around and it just boggles my mind. Same here. I can't get over how many women I work with whose husbands don't work. Not that they're taking care of everything else, mind you. These women are still the ones responsible for the discipline, the house, the shopping, on top of all the nurturing. One of the many reasons I left my exH. He was a tradesman, and if there was no work, there was no work. He just sat around the house (he did do some vacuuming though, whoopee). At first I tried to take it in stride. Then I'd have to give him a list of things that needed to be done and I'd be lucky if he got 1 or 2 things off the list. If you're home, do something! On top of that, if you were in a trade that there were times when you had more than a week off - wouldn't you have a backup?? Grosses me out when I see a man who doesn't go to work everyday. No way would my dad have let my mom bear the financial responsibility if he was able to work -- for any period of time. Link to post Share on other sites

dropdeadlegs Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 So much great info. I'm condensing quotes to keep this as short as possible (and I know I'm wordy.) "Throughout my 35 for life yrs I have learn one valuable thing about women, they Love for you to listen to them. I'm not talking about the "yes dear thing". I'm talking about truely listening. A women will tell you everything you need to know if you listen, where to touch, what she likes, how she likes, when she likes. Everything. So True HEEEELLLL YEAHHH! 'Cause we all know women weren't born with brains!!! They got groins and hands and that's all they need! HOOO ___ YEAHHHHHH! This disgusts me and I couldn't ignore it. It takes brains to run a household and the groins and hands are a fringe benefit. ...if I were to have kids, I would want to be able to stay home with them. If only because I'm just not organized enough to hold down a job and run a household and raise children effectively. And I'd be willing to give up luxuries to be able to do that. That is the story of my life with children. We do not live luxuriously, but have what we need and some of what we want. I put them on the bus, and I'm here when they get home. I have worked outside the home and felt that I was overwhelmed with so much to do and not truly doing well at any of it. ...my mom and dad had clearly dilineated roles. Everyone knew what to do and what their job was. Today women are competing with men in the workplace and its messing everytiing up. Now we need two incomes to be middle class instead of one. Women still do most of the work to take care of house, cook, cleand and take care of kids and now they are working to boot. Women libs has shot women in the foot and also men too. It is a failed social experiment. Kids are all screwed up, families are falling apart, drugs, alcohol abuse, blah blah blah Not to piss off the libbers, but I actually agree. would you settle for just being good at cunnilingus? The fact that you can spell it is a strong indication that you can perform it effectively. (Couldn't help myself here, I like spelling AND cunnilingus:lmao: ) That's not to say mom didn't work though! She worked her butt off taking care of us, the house, dad. Our house was always spotless. She clipped coupons every Sunday, grocery shopped every Friday. Again, my life exactly, and I appreciate a man that appreciates that while my contribution may not seem monetary, if everything I did was tallied up as an expense, I would be PRICELESS. I grew up thinking my dad knew everything about everything. Fixing cars, building decks, plumbing, home improvement. And I want a guy to just automatically assume he's driving (unless he's drunk!). In my world, the man always drives! Unfortunately I one day realized that my Dad did not know everything, but I still appreciate how handy he was! On another note, if we're both drunk, he's still driving because he's still better at it than I am . I am NOT saying that driving drunk is acceptable, just stating that I really suck at it while others seem to make it home. Lots of great quotes here, I'm sure I could have used more. Not sure if I strayed from the actual subject, but that's what THIS woman wants. Link to post Share on other sites
