Women should not have to do dishes! I really cannot understand why at every family gathering the women do the dishes. I was told among with those younger than me that if I did not help with dishes I wouldn't get presents! Can you believe the audicy? My brother and all the men sat around the table and waited for the dishes to be done. I'm sure if the younger boys would have sat down to talk with them, nothing would have happened but had any of the girls sat down we would have been repremanded. I know that throughout the ages women have done dishes but I HATE DISHES. I work in a restaurant for goodness sakes. Give me a break. Why can't the men get up after a meal, clear the table and do the dishes while the ladies sit down and talk? Is that a bad thing to want? Prehaps I am over reacting but it is not fare. I for really upset at Christmas and I am sorry. I was having a hard time excpeting what happened to my friend, then I am told to do dishes while the men sit there because it is 'womans work'. oh, God, please take these hurtful thoughts from me head and never let them reach my mouth. Thank-you Jesus for being my output. I love you. And, please, Lord, plese, if it is your will let me be accepted into SOD. Please
Amen
