I keep thinking many times, where on earth do these women get the energy to manage things so perfectly? I mean have a look around - You will find moms who are epitomes of love for their children, Wife's who are so very caring and loving... willing to do almost anything for their partners... So many examples.
Now with all this they are also doing jobs and broadening their aims and expectations. So one day I asked mom and then later to my wife about this.
Maybe it is a lady's reply but both mentioned that you have to be girl and only then you can understand. Whats your opinion?

Hahaha... interesting thought. But I really don't want to state something like, "women are better" cause that would be like discriminating genders, right. lol I really don't know, I guess its just natural for us, especially moms to do everything we can even if we know its beyond our limit. Its in our nature to be caring and because of that, we're often always willing to do anything to try and make everything work smoothly as possible. Hmmm... hope my answer didn't sound so bias to my own kind. haha

So you've already forgotten about those comments I made from your other discussion??? Grrrr... LOL
And emotionally speaking, yes I really have to say women are usually much stronger. I guess, another reason for that, is that, women likes to talk a lot.lol We tend to always try and share things with our friends which is very helpful in releasing some stress. On the other hand, men tend to keep problems with themselves, at least usually. So, they sort of break down easily.
By the way, you're becoming an addict at mylot already, in such a short span of time you already have tons of posts! LOL
TATA.

hi, thesids. it's nice to know that you admire and are fascinated by women's natural characteristics. yes, it is true we are capable of a lot of things. from carrying our babies in our womb and shaping their values and personality when they're all grown up, from making a house into a home, and nurturing and taking care of everyone that we love, and as if it's not enough, we work to earn money outside our homes too, lol!
but i also admire men who never hesitate to share household chores and help in taking care of the children. happy mylotting!

yeah...you are so true...when i looked at my mom, i am so proud of her...when i am going back to school, mom give me some money although she don't have any source of money..i looked at my mom when she do home works, sometimes she angry with a lot of works, but she done the work perfectly...i am so proud of my mom..could a husband be like that? can a very good husband take over homeworks of a wife?

thanks MademoiselleEma for visiting and participating in the discussion. I am not too good at it but I am trying to help my wife with some of her work like cooking in the evenings, cleaning and other things that I can, But I am sure I can never handle everything as perfectly as you folks (women) do.

Hello :)
Good discussion, but you really need to be a woman, to know what is it to fight with everything and everyone for the things or the people you love :)
We are trying to do our best, because this is a part of us ... :)
I don't know about all, but i'm trying to be perfect :) The best girlfriend, the best housewife, the best of everything i start to do :D It's part of me to run away after that aim and for now, i'm nearly the best, but you know, there is always some more you can reach :D

It's great to know how much you appreciate the women in your life. *salutes* ;)
But I won't ever want to change into a man for a day just to see how it feels. I feel sick with the idea really happening, hehehe! ;P
I guess, girls are more expressive and when it comes down to it, we want our loved ones to feel it rather than just hear it. :)

Hi, thesids!
I wouldn't want to change my gender. I enjoy being a woman, with all the multitasking that involves. There's nothing particularly attractive about being a man, although my husband and a few other men are extremely attractive. I just wouldn't want to be one...

Sometimes I wish I could be in the otghwer persons, or genders shoes, once in a while.
I mean, it's the whole wonderment iof it right? How may actually know the feeling of botg sexes? Or even of what it's like to be a different person? Not many people even know what it;s liek to be a different stereotype or weight or whatever.
It'd be an interesting experience.
But I definaly wouldnt want it to be forever. I feel like as a woman I can do so mucha nd that I have this power to conquer all. And no offence to men, to say they cant do this...but I just wouldnt change at all.
I think beign a woman is a powerful thing and that we can all learn soemthing from each other whether we are male, female, old, young, whatever. We all have experiences that aare specially to make and female and we can both dfeed off each other from these thigns.
I know some people who wouldnt even wnat toa dmit they'd like teh experiecne as they'df not want to be known as gay or a transsexyal.
People are too sensitive in my opinion.
