General Discussion

who sometimes has his big, important meetings at your house in his man den, to keep wifey from being too curious, and where the booze is located where she cannot find it. Wifey will be preparing the cookies and non stimulating goodies. She will smile and nod her head before she leaves to put the kids to bed as the nanny is leaving for the night then she is off for an exciting meeting with dirty dishes and a roughed up house. The manly men come out of the den (such a perfect name for a place for manly men). They nod as they hand her their dishes and maybe one or two will break the usual man behaviors and tell her the cookies were great as she watches them waddle and sway to their cars. She knows most of the cookies are still there but there are a lot of glasses to be washed smelling of something they refer to as booze.

It is the perfect way of things. Men gather for important decisions that affect the women in large and often difficult ways but that is the way. Women flutter around making life as easy as possible for the men folk, after all without them our nation would fall apart, and we go to sleep (when he allows it) knowing that for the rest of our lives we are never going to have to worry our pretty little heads. *sigh* Women are so lucky.

If men only knew what we know, what we think. We can tell them but they never hear it because they don't have to or they don't think there is anything important coming from our mouths.

I have been a part of a family like that, maybe not quite that bad but it feels terrible no matter how bad it is. Probably a good many of us has especially if they are getting older (less desirable and that is good because STD's are not fun).

This is what it feels like in so many households. Where we are is much better, this was mostly my childhood and probably a lot of us grew up like that and we do not forget it. If this is all we have to look forward to we may as well disappear because I will NEVER allow myself to live in an environment like that again.

*****Some of this is true for me but most of it came from friends experiences, those older than my 70. Not far away. Could easily go back to that if we do not watch out. These particular people going into our White House have little regard for women unless you are taking his slippers off before he lays down. Silly boy, you will soil the sheets I just put on and I will have to wash them again tomorrow. *sigh*
