I happen to come from a family of women who wear the pants in the family, so taking control was never a queston for me, but sometimes I still melt into the lady who wants her trash taken out too.. I can totally relate!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087093335837785770.post-13974695290355768142008-06-30T10:49:00.000-07:002008-06-30T10:49:00.000-07:00A couple of my coworkers read this and told me I t...A couple of my coworkers read this and told me I took feminism back about 40 years. I'm all for feminism - really it's grand - I just want the OPTION of having a man handle things for me. Manhandling. Yes, that's it. Glorious. <BR/><BR/>Laura- You're hubby's the best because he listens and follows instructions!<BR/><BR/>Geekhiker - We're going to start working on your singleness 7/26. I think we'll be able to help you find a financially inept woman such as myself by Christmas. :P<BR/><BR/>Dingo - I don't even know what prospecti are...but I'm glad you make Mr. Dingo deal with them!<BR/><BR/>Wow TWA - I sent this post to Mr. W and he just laughed. I'm out on the Vegas front, but good luck to you!<BR/><BR/>Alysha - You're awesome for changing a tire. But you're right, it'll be nice when you have a man to do it for you. :)<BR/><BR/>Semichrmd - Your hubby cooks AND changes the oil? Winner! Winner! Winner! <BR/><BR/>Anita - Yeah, there's that phenomenon too! That's where the Old Woman Who Live in a Shoe story comes from...<BR/><BR/>Jane - Good point! It's like asking for directions. You were smart to hire a financial advisor. Perhaps I'll follow your lead...Melissa Marishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15216312159880277204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087093335837785770.post-78011618134951596392008-06-30T07:31:00.000-07:002008-06-30T07:31:00.000-07:00Funny you say this, b/c I go through this often! I...Funny you say this, b/c I go through this often! I'm fiercely independent and even got a financial advisor so I could understand my money in case I got married one day and my husband left me for a younger woman. :P But sometimes, you really just need a guy. They seem to know things that you know, but much better. Unlike men, we know when to ask for help!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087093335837785770.post-52682361141829794382008-06-27T10:33:00.000-07:002008-06-27T10:33:00.000-07:00100% agree with everything you said.

It also doesn't help that our wiring prompts us to spend $300 on an awesome handbag instead of saving it for the future.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807642899458356423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087093335837785770.post-27286410990003878882008-06-27T07:50:00.000-07:002008-06-27T07:50:00.000-07:00I'm so with you on all of these things!

I don't manage our money (hell somedays I couldn't even tell you what I have in my checking), I don't know how to cook, oil & gas nope. I depend on my husband for all those things, it's so 1950's housewife of me but I can't help it. I think we won't the best of both worlds really. And you know, I don't think there's anything wrong with that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3087093335837785770.post-58372444689059169752008-06-26T23:03:00.000-07:002008-06-26T23:03:00.000-07:00I cannot wait to hand off a lot of those things.
