Sometimes I Really Hate Men

Or, should I say little boys since more often than not they are so juvenile. I am really curious as to why men are so damn whiny. Did their mothers molly-coddle them too much? Are they just so used to having their mothers do everything for them that they think someone else is going to pick up where their mothers left off? Perhaps they can get away with that in the short-term, but long-term that seriously isn't going to fly.

Having to pick up after someone else gets really old. This isn't the 1950s when women stayed home all day, cleaned house and prepared dinner. The last thing I want to do after a long day at work is to stop off at the grocery store on the way home, cook dinner, do the litter, start a load of laundry and then clean up the kitchen. I don't even have kids and sometimes it is just too much. Why is it that women are so good at multi-tasking and men cannot even walk 10 feet to the kitchen, bend down and put a dish in the dishwasher while they are watching TV?

Naturally, this can upset a person. So, it came as no surprise that I became unhinged tonight when I once again got no help picking up after dinner, cleaning the kitty litter, or anything. And to add fuel to the fire, the response I got was that maybe "I should eat some food". Are you kidding me!? In his mind there has to be some other reason why I am upset. And, since I've been making a point to watch what I eat since I started a 'diet' on Monday, I MUST be hungry and it has to be the reason why I am so crabby. No. I am not hungry. In fact, I am now eating four times a day, when before I would always skip breakfast, sometimes skip lunch, and only eat dinner.

So, fellas. I am pretty certain that when a woman tells you what you've done, or not done to tick her off, that IS what she is mad about. You cannot grasp for straws and try to come up with an excuse. No, she doesn't have her period. No, something bad didn't' happen at work that day. And, no, she isn't hungry.
