There are all kinds of double standards in our society concerning gender.

You know what I get sick of? Men are considered the best father in the world if they manage to dress their child. If a mother brings her child out in a mismatched outfit or the child has an uneven pony tail, she's horrible.

Women are now allowed to go into the work force, but we best get our asses home and clean up after our men and devote all our non-working hours to our children. Men get the 'man cave' and women are told to let them have their 'alone time' and not to 'nag'.

I could go on if you really want to get into double standards.


Yup. That's why mom would put lots of effort to make sure my hair was just so. Sometimes I'd be late for school because of it but that's okay because I was a cute lil' girl. Everyone could tell when Mom was out of town because Grandma would do my hair differently or I'd pull it up myself all uneven and messy like. :P

Yeeeah, I don't understand double-standards. There's usually no logical reason for them and they no longer apply to today's society but they're still there now aren't they? :/

Hey hey lets not get hasty here! I need to not have a 5ft tall parasite attached to me watching my every move, as would any man. How's it a double standard if we don't nag you or not let you have your alone time?

Yeah... like women like having a 5 year old following them to the bathroom and getting asked a million questions while they're trying to pee.

They're definitely still there. A woman asks once for her husband to do something, and she's deemed a nag.

Should have used protection! :lol: seriously that's just part of raising children. Hell I sometimes stand outside the bathroom and talk to my mom while she's peeing.

Yup. Now there are those who are justifiably labeled a nag but a lot of women aren't nags. There's nothing wrong with asking your significant other to do their share.

Even the family dog follows my mom to the bathroom to yip at her. Maybe it's instinct? XD

TeaEarlGreyHot - Aww, it'll be okay. There's much worse things a child can do than talk to their mother outside the bathroom door. :D

They don't talk through the door... they follow me INTO the bathroom and watch me pee. I've had to literally move their heads out from between my legs and tell them not to touch my underwear.

:lol: I used to piss behind our house in the early morning and late at night when I lived in Polk County. Our cats used to stare at the ground I was pissing on and start walking closer till I'd threaten to spray them :lol:

Then ONE time I'm sleep walking according to my ex and I walk out of the house and start pissing on my back tire, this is in the front yard. Cat comes over to investigate and I turn around and piss on him! :lol: in the mean time my ex, her mom and my roommate are on the front porch smoking so they saw the whole thing!

TeaEarlGreyHot - Oh. Yeeeeeah, that is probably just curiosity on their part. Hopefully they'll grow out of it. D:

Pistonhead - LOL. That's great. I feel bad for the cat but it should have known better by then, right? XD

Im sticking with Hale Bopp on this. Regardless of the pretense, stop swearing at people. I tried to help erisad, I really did give you the advice from my life. And you right now are acting like a child. It would be best to take the advice, follow it, and not mope in how it either does or does not apply to you.

really. I appreciate most of your other threads and posts, but this time, you are acting like a kid.

I'm sorry you don't like the swearing, but she's perfectly entitled to it. Swears often convey something no other word can, and regardless of the conversation at hand, nobody should be deprived of them.

As for advice, just because you give it doesn't mean she has to take it. It's a sign of maturity to be able to give advice and not get upset when the one you're giving it to decides for themselves if the advice is good/bad/applicable.

Can't handle when someone doesn't take your advice? Don't give it.

Has Chronos found a guy, gotten married, and had kids yet? Or did the original get completely blown out of the water?

i dont care if she takes it or not. Im talking about any other person giving advice that responded to this thread.
Tea, go back, start from the beggining and just skim it all. than you can go ahead and come to a conclusion.

My responce to all of this, is she wants pity, not advice.

Im just making it clear Im not giving it, regardless of if you give a damn or not.
