My Husband Swears I Am a Man
My husband swears I am a man.
Is it because I refuse to do housework, wash dishes, vacuum or shop?
Possibly.
But I never liked any of that stuff.
I did it for over thirty-five years – things I despised.
He has taken over the housework.
Not that I care.
And the laundry.
Which I also do not care about.
I did all the housework, laundry and grocery shopping the first thirty-five.
That he has done it for fifteen does not interest me.
I do not care if it gets done.
Maybe I am a man.
Because I feel free.
After work I sit in a recliner and press the remote button.
If there is a difference between the expectations of man and woman.
This is probably it.
Call me male.
Just don’t call me into the kitchen.
