Me

Why is it that many women feel spent and  maybe resentful at the end of the day from taking care of all the other "me" people in their lives?  I am not sure I know.  What I do know is that it is not a man thing.  Guys don't "go there" spending themselves in service to those around them.  Now we guys will whine about how much we think we  give for others.  But it is because being selfless just isn't in our DNA.  I do not believe that God's plan is for women to exhaust themselves in caring for the careless? helpless? clueless?  We guys can clean house, drop people off, cook, and shop.  But if a woman cuts us some slack, we can instantly become helpless or otherwise busy, or even unreliable.  Some women say, only later, that their first child was their husband!  I can believe it.  And why are you children so useless at helping Mom get some Mom time?  My excuse is that I was a selfish kid.  And on top of it all, everyone complains about Mom when they don't get what they want!  Hey, this could be vocation copy for becoming a nun.
