Ok, so why is it that there are those few household tasks totally considered the "man's job?" When I'm asked why my boyfriend doesn't grill, I tell them that I love to cook and love to use the grill. It's not like he can't, but it's just something I do for my family! And the grass cutting.....do you even realize how much soul searching, mind clearing, time to yourself you get when you cut grass.....and some exercise! Now, while I have no problem doing the garbage, he can have that! ha ha! I get it all together and he takes it to the dump.
Most people don't know that I was married for nearly 13 years, and yes, most of the tasks listed above were designated as Greg's. That even included the bills/checkbook! When you are forced into the life as the head of family as I was, you learn quickly that these tasks are now your's and you step up and do them......you have no other choice!
When I hear, "why are you grilling, or why are you cutting grass", I get pretty offended, and just give them a direct answer, rude sometimes, but I can't help it! Yes, I love being a woman, love being treated like one, etc.
Just needed to get that off my chest!! I am woman!!! ha ha

Good question sweetie. I believe I have the answer too. Men made up the 'mans job' list so they don't have to do housework that they don't want to do.
That be my guess. :)
yeah, men would be the one's to make up that list....i don't complain about doing anything...that way i know it's done right!!! my kids do their own laundry, and clean their rooms, so that's out of my hands. thanks for your input. you're so funny!!
luv ya!
