For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for December 21, 2008

Surprised that John or Phil didn’t ask her if she needed help as she just put away the last freshly washed dish.

It’s amazing what us women consider a break. I know anytime I get a break from the fam I head straight to work. No wonder I’m always exhausted, lol! A woman’s work is never done.

I also wonder why she scrubs the floor with dogs underfoot. I don’t have a dog but doing it with kids around just leads to it getting dirty quicker since when they walk on it wet, they leave little footprints behind.

I think Farley is the reason she’s mopping the floor. He has “I didn’t do it” written all over his little puppy face.

Yup. A woman’s work is never done. Fortunately, I’m not a woman.

When you are older, these are the “good old days” when you were needed and could show your love by doing things.

cleokaya: You may want to rephrase that next time. I’m not a woman but I can see how that can be a little offensive maybe even sexist.

When I worked at the office, I always was able to grab a couple minutes for a break with coffee and a glance through the newspaper. On my ::ahem:: ‘days off’(doing housewifery), I rarely could get a timeout - the paper went unread and the coffee got frigid.

My mom used to say “man works from sunup to sundown, but woman’s work is never done.” She explained to me that while she was sleeping, stomachs were getting empty, laundry was getting dirty…

StripesCnH-GF; okey, we are getting really politically correct nowadays. All I meant is that I am glad to be the lazy slug that I am. If I offended anyone, please be reassured that I am but a humble, lazy male, not worthy of the great sacrifices a woman makes in running a houselhold.

Cleokaya, are you related to Andy Capp? LOL
