yes, maturity has carried you a long way. yes, capitalizing will save a soul somewhere out there. yes, not crossing a l somewhere would appear to be idiotic.

when looked at that way, I’d agree. But for some women, (like me) it would drive us nuts sitting home all day “watching the walls close in” and some do take pride in helping a relationship financially. You’d just have to plan around each others schedules and make it work. Some women may feel more appreciated when a guy helps out around the house as well. I love it when my husband and I cook together because we learn from eachother and if there are no kids….then you can……….I’ll leave that to ones imagination.

In my case, I’d respect my wife whether she’s a working woman or a stay-at-home. It’s just that the latter comes with a hot meal and a full belly every night.

Agree, failure to capitalize will eventually lead to not dotting the “i’s’ and not crossing the “t’s,” and lhal’s jusl plain slupid!

Not so long ago, my internet writing was not so different from wackywinter’s, in that I couldn’t care to put in caps or punctuations where it needs to be. Laziness, was my excuse.
But I guess now that I’m a bit more mature, my thinking is a bit different. Rather than lower myself in laziness, I’d make that extra effort to make it easier for the reader to read. There is a logical reason why there are caps in words and sentences, if not for the reader’s sake, then it’s for my sake, to carry my message across to the reader in a more reader friendly format.

i’m a feminist. yea! not really. i’m just happy being able to bring an extra income and also being a mother/wife. i’m prideful in doing both. my point is limiting a woman to a few roles is suffocating.

who will provide for the family when the husband dies? sometimes the husband takes the wife for granted and barks order at her all the time. the financial control is also egregious. so how can she feel appreciated or take pride in that? i know that’s not the case for all marriages but i’ve seen a lot of Viet families like that. anyhoots, being happy in any position is when you feel appreciated, understood, and respected.

i won’t assume u don’t immensely love & respect your mother and future/current wife. but i think your wife would know your view on this situation and be content with that, otherwise she wouldn’t marry ya. i’m glad women still have choices and don’t feel so oppressed in this country. think for your daughter (my pathos on this view)!

i won’t go into tangents because there are so many other factors. it’s always nice to have your husband help you around the house though. you will make your wife so much happier. just my one cent. sorry i wrote a letter.

p.s i don’t capitalize. if that is annoying to readers then i’m glad. xoxo

Can you take pride in cooking a delicious meal for your kids and keeping a clean house for them to come home to after school? Wear the apron, let the men wear the pants! :)

I’m sorry to say that I am one that does not agree with that. I hate having a man provide for me. It gives me a sense of pride that I can not only provide for myself, but my family. I have no shame in “wearing the pants” in this household. I’ve done it for the past 3 years and I’d still do it for the next 60 years if I have to.
