When A Mother Says She Is Going To Bed.. by DesChyko: 5:46pm On Feb 17, 2016
Mum and Dad were watching TV when Mum said, "I'm tired, and it's getting late. I think I'll go to bed." She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's lunches. Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning. She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes into the washer, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button. She picked up the game pieces left on the table, put the phone back on the charger and put the telephone book into the drawer. She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom. She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted out some cash for the excursion and pulled a text book out from hiding under the chair. She signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note for the grocery store. She put both near her bag. Mum then washed her face with 3 in 1 cleanser, put on her Night Solution & age fighting moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth. Dad called out, "I thought you were going to bed." "I'm on my way," she said. She put some water into the dog's dish and put the cat outside, then made sure the doors were locked and the patio light was on.. She looked in on each of the kids and turned out their bedside lamps and radios, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks into the hamper, and had a brief conversation with the one up still doing homework. In her own room, she set the alarm; laid out clothing for the next day, straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her 6 most important things to do list. She said her prayers, and visualized the accomplishment of her goals. About that time, Dad turned off the TV and announced to no one in particular. "I'm going to bed." And he did...without another thought. Anything extraordinary here? Wonder why women live longer...? 'CAUSE THEY ARE MADE FOR THE LONG HAUL........ (and they can't die sooner, they still have things to do!!!!)

Honestly we're super beings. I tell you, she'll still be up by 5am, hours before his majesty wakes up. At work, her brain keeps making notes of how to run the home while striving to please her employer. God bless all women jare!

Nice 1 @ OP.

Yet we get people on here opening up threads to undermine such women's' efforts by labelling them as unaspiring housewives

Why does the mother want to wear herself out? Can't she ask her husband for help?

So the husband needs to be asked before he gives a helping hand A responsible husband doesnt need to be asked for help when it comes to home management. You sound like someone who wouldnt bulge until you are asked to.
And by the way need i remind you that mothers and wives are like that natually, its inbuilt. Either the men help or not we still get to put things in place, just that we tend to do so in different ways and pace.

God bless all women/mothers/wives and God bless the MEN in our lives.

Oh dear :

First of all I am a woman

Secondly you seemed to have missed my point ; being that women should stop overworking themselves when they have husbands who should help them doing nothing while there is so much to be done. She is not a single mother why should she have to do all that all alone when she should be asking her husband to take some of the tasks?

Sometimes we can like to be super women and end up tired, angry and bitter instead. You need help ask your husband, " Please do this and that while I do this and that"

Ah! Your Excellency, we're not complaining o. Hmnn! We're only encouraging ourselves in this noble calling of attending to you and your decendants' every need. We are glad to be the managers, in fact we are only comparing notes.
