Vallerina 2 #1 March 22, 2004 Many consider me to be a strong, independent woman who stands up for what she believes in. Many people also consider me to be a bit too stubborn. Many others consider me to be a feminazi who is a manhater. This has all be tested yesterday. I am always incredibly grossed out by women who do things that they don't really want to do for males. Yesterday, I did just that, and now I'm questioning myself. I really wanted to leave my brother's house and go home. I tried. I told my nephew, "Bye bye," and he looked at me and whimpered, "No bye bye! V play trains!" He took my hand, made me sit down, and he made me play trains. I tried to leave a few more times, but the same thing kept happening. One time, I got really close to leaving...so close that I even went to go get my keys! He started crying, so of course I had to put my keys down and console him. My brother said that I was being bossed around by a 3 year old. Does this make me a wussy girl and a pushover?

I'm in complete agreement about doing things for the ...other gender that are not born of sincerity and willingness. Yet ...I find myself in the same boat. I spent Saturday with my buddy Bill and his 4 y/o daughter Sarah. Spent the day as a beast of burden and basked in her warm hearted smiles, hugs and laughter. Came time to leave and I turned to say goodbye, when she hugged me and said "please don't go, I want you to stay". Little heart breaking tears threatening to roll out of her big blue eyes ...sigh. What a wonderful day! I hadn't realized how much I needed this ...counterpoint to my experiences with children; children in an ER/Trauma setting. Children that have seen far too much and lived far too little. I can't even remotely remember the last time I spent time with a happy, loving, laughing child. What a wonder they are, and how blessed I am to be able to enjoy this ...then give them back to the parents :). Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

caress 0 #11 March 22, 2004 No Val, that just means that you are appealing to men at any age. What is this wussy pushover crap? You are sweet, and pretty, learn to live with it! I've learned.... That being kind is more important than being right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricaH 0 #12 March 22, 2004 Yes, Val... you are now a push over whimp. Next thing you know, you'll wake up extra early & put on make-up so your man don't have to look @ u w/o it. You'll rush home to make him dinner. Jump up for joy when he brings home flowers & candy or even [gasp] expect him to open doors & pick up the check all the time. Good by Gloria Stiman [sp?], hello holly Mrs. Homemaker - Martha Stewart w/ a husband & a job. please don't hurt me I was only kiddin . Because of the fact that you felt like staying & did so - that is ok. There is no can't. Only lack of knowledge or fear. Only you can fix your fear.
