I Must Have Missed Something!

November 4, 2009

Now I do realize that as we age our parents do as well.  I also expect that as a child I am to assist with care.  What I don’t seem to get my siblings to fathom is that I have no assistance at home.  As they call on their spouses for assistance, I am just standing here looking like some aberation or annomally.

My brother pointed out to me today (with admonishment) that his wife can work a 70 hour work week  and they get other things done.  However, last time I checked she did not come home and pay the bills and take care of the yard and…and….  They are lucky enough to share these duties.  So when I tell him I don’t do extra things on a 70 hour work week, one would think he would grasp that there is nobody at all pitching in around my house.  But who’s complaining?
