OMG MALE PRIVILEGE

I'm about to jump on my soapbox here.

I almost put this on my Pinterest board, but then read it once again.

No. Sorry.

So here, line by line....

1. Work hard. Okay, that's good. But he's probably not the only one with a full-time job in the family. Most families now are two-income out of necessity

2. Share household duties. Oh, this one is old. Ask any male household member what their "share" of household duties is. When we first got married, my dear sweet husband's concept of his "share" was taking out the garbage to the container outside. Sometimes it's he loads the dishwasher.  That's "share". From the male perspective.

Now ask any female household member. She reads the word "share" as "half". Or at least a third. Trust me on this. 

And men? Nope. Never. Or very rarely. Women still do all/more of the cooking/ shopping/ planning/ laundry/ calendaring/ bills/ children supervision, etc. etc. etc.

3. Tell their wives they are beautiful. Words, words, words. Just a little too easy.

4. Wrestle excited kids before bedtime. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!! I mean, REALLY. The ABSOLUTE WORST TIME to get children riled up and excited is RIGHT BEFORE BEDTIME! Same exact principle of giving kids a huge dose of sugar before bedtime - THEY THEN STAY AWAKE! Now, perhaps reading a quiet bedtime story - singing quiet songs - quiet sharing time about their day.

And last, but not least, 5. Make scrambled eggs on Sunday. This is what prompted my blog title. Oh, dear - he made a MEAL FOR HIS CHILDREN!! Swoon! Oh, how endearing! What a wonderful man!

GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
