Hestia,
Sometimes don't you wish you had only yourself to care for and be responsible for? I sure do. I envy Bonnie her little cabin in the woods. Nobody to clean up after, watch out for, cook for, wash for etc. (Except for the dog - I wouldn't even have a dog)
Wouldn't it be nice to not watch 30 channels of sports at the same time? If something broke, you'd know you were the one who should take care of it...rather than wait for the person who told you they'd fix it to do so.
I think I get more and more frustrated by DH lately cuz he just sails through life without a clue as to how much work is involved in the house. He does do laundry and dishes once a week or so, straightens the livingroom (which is torn apart all the time cuz he hates sitting on couch with the cushions) and occasionally mows the yard when it gets calf to knee high.
Meanwhile, i am the one up on the roof with the tarry chalk sealing holes, replacing the flusher thing in the toilet...etc. I ask him to take care of things and I get a dirty look....like how dare I. I tell him how spoiled he is and he just laughs and says I am too. ARGH! Not as spoiled as SOME people.
OK, OK, this has turned into a rant, but I sure envy Bonnie her aloneness. Was actually kinda upset with her when she took up with Riz, who seems to be a loser at this point (though I have not finished the book).
