sometimes I think I know how you feel

... ah sure don't worry about Peter he'll be grand ... he's great sure he is

now and again all I need is someone to say "would it help if I did that for you ?"

that would be nice :-)

though I don't think I'd be coping so well if I had the manager-from-hell and was trying to sell & buy houses while two wee people ran me ragged.

actually... I KNOW I wouldn't be coping so well.

Hey. Momma Miss America... would you like a hand with that ?

The downside of being a strong, intelligent woman. . .

. . .is that nobody ever considers the fact that, maybe, just once in a while, you might really need a little bit of help.

Everyone trips all over themselves to come to the aid of the rattle-brained, Helpless Female (you've all met her before, yes?), but if you're the type who has dared to exhibit the characteristic of being--gasp!--capable at any point in the past, they never give you a second thought ("Oh she's fine; she can handle anything. . .").

 

Of course, they're quick to tell you how "amazing" you are to be such a great juggler, handling everything in your life with such ease, and how they "could never manage it" themselves.

 

Fuck you, you condescending, insensitive bastards! On the rare occasions when I do ask for help with something, it's because I need it, and you should get off your fat, self-involved asses and pitch in--just like I do when you need something.
