I'm pretty terrible at stereotypically man-things, too, unfortunately (Sonia, on the other hand, is pretty amazing at changing a tyre!). I only just learned how to cook sausages this year. :/<br /><br />It's interesting that you get told you're lucky to have Jeff cleaning and shopping and cooking - I very much doubt he'd hear any comments if it was you doing all of it. Why should women count themselves lucky to have a partner who acts like a partner? I look forward to the day when that's just normal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958681132670953956.post-18860495251322195502015-05-28T18:21:46.076+10:002015-05-28T18:21:46.076+10:00Haha I love it how Yang-En is now your biggest fan...Haha I love it how Yang-En is now your biggest fan.

I have it on good ...Yay! you're writing again! <br />I have it on good authority that you are an excellent mother and all-round-excellent person. Does it count if it was said to me, and not to Alan?<br /><br />I wish I was really great at doing non-gender-conforming stuff like fixing cars, doing maths and plumbing, so that I could impress everyone with my mad skills and people would say to Jeff, "You're so lucky that Yang-En fixes the car for you." <br /><br />The only man-thing I can do is be the family bread-winner, and even then I do it very grumpily, while wearing as much leopard print and turquoise eyeliner as possible. <br /><br />Unfortunately (fortunately?), Jeff is good at all the man-things and also good at all the lady-things, so I usually get "You're so lucky that Jeff does all the housework and cooking and groceries for you..."Yang-Enhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06494614796607503826noreply@blogger.com
