[b]A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed
home.
He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:
"Dear Lord:
I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at
home.
I want her to know what I go through.
So, please allow her body to switch with mine for a day.
Amen!"
God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.
The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman.
He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate,
Awakened the kids,
Set out their school clothes,
Fed them breakfast,
Packed their lunches,
Drove them to school,
Came home and picked up the dry cleaning,
Took it to the cleaners
And stopped at the bank to make a deposit,
Went grocery shopping,
Then drove home to put away the groceries,
Paid the bills and balanced the check book.
He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog.
Then, it was already 01P.M.
And he hurried to make the beds,
Do the laundry, vacuum,
Dust,
And sweep and mop the kitchen floor.
Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them
on the way home.
Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework.
Then, set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing.
At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded
the chops and snapped fresh beans for supper.
After supper,
He cleaned the kitchen,
Ran the dishwasher,
Folded laundry,
Bathed the kids,
And put them to bed.
At 09 P.M .
He was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went
to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through
without complaint.
The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said: -
"Lord, I don't know what I was thinking.
I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day.
Please, oh! Oh! Please, let us trade back.
Amen!"
The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied:
"My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to
change things back to the way they were.
You'll just have to wait nine months, though.
You got pregnant last night."[/b]

When im older i would try being a househusband for a few days.
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane, by those who couldn't hear the music...
^^^ why not put it into practice now (not the husband bit but doing a womens work for the day). Mothering sunday is coming up soon so instead of spending money on flowers that will die why dont you let your mum have a relaxing day and you do all the household chores.
No not the gum drop buttons! – Gingy
Good idea! saves me money on plastic flowers
j/k i might try that but i would have to take a break for the football though.
Those who danced were thought to be quite insane, by those who couldn't hear the music...
I have to do most those things myself, plus work 8 hours a day too.
plus a lot of those things don't have to be done every day; like dry cleaning and grocery shopping can be done every week.
but i wouldn't wanna be a housewife though, i can't stand the Jeremy Kyle show, or Loose Women.
Don't just do something! Stand there.
For a day... yeah. I think.
The media, government, tried to blow us, but they can't out the flame, or doubt the name.
whilst that can be a day in the life of a woman, every day isnt like that
what about the shopping trips, the girly trips to cinema's etc, the hours watching TV, and the days when your loving husbands shower you with gifts and treats?
The Lover is ever drunk with love;
He is free, he is mad,
He dances with ecstasy and delight.
Caught by our own thoughts,
We worry about every little thing,
But once we get drunk on that love,
Whatever will be, will be.

loool women need their own time!!
If you desire Allah to be persistent in granting you the things you love,, be persistent in doing the things that he loves - (Imaam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal)
Its only one day. Plus sunday is the easiest day to become a women coz there no dropping the kids off to school or getting the shopping in (most ppl tend to do it on fri/sat).
No not the gum drop buttons! – Gingy
This might sound strange but I actually want someone who'll tel me to get off my backside and give her a hand! But only when I'm being lazy, not when I'm sick and might throw up all over the food or whatever!
Chin up, mate! Life's too short.
Get off your backside and help your mum! :twisted:

[b]A woman was sick and tired of doing endless housework every day while her husband went out enjoying himself.
She wanted him to see what she went through so she prayed:
"Dear Lord:
I work around the house for the whole day and look after the kids, while my husband sits around the house all evening after only doing 8 hours.
I want him to know what I go through.
So, please allow his body to switch with mine for a day.
Amen!"
God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the woman's wish.
The next morning, sure enough, the woman awoke as a man.
She arose, cooked breakfast for her mate,
Awakened the kids,
Set out their school clothes,
Fed them breakfast,
Packed their lunches,
Drove them to school,
Took the dry cleaning into the cleaners on the way to work,
Lifted heavy machinery for 8 hours strait,
Took her son's football team for a kick about,
Went grocery shopping on the way home,
Then drove home to put away the groceries,
Paid the bills and balanced the check book.
Helped the kids with their homework.
Took the dog for a walk.
By then, it was already 7 P.M.
And she hurried to build a shed in the back garden,
Put up a shelf,
Mended a plug,
Re-surfaced the kitchen floor.
Then, set up the ironing board and watched Top Gear while she did the ironing.
At 9:30 she began work on the book she was writing.
She was exhausted and, though her daily chores weren't finished, she went to bed where she was expected to make love, which she managed to get through without complaint.
The next morning, she awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said: -
"Lord, I don't know what I was thinking.
I was so wrong to envy my husband being able to stay go out all day.
Please, oh! Oh! Please, let us trade back.
Amen!"[/b][/quote]

[b]An air traffic controller was sick and tired of dashing about on the runway and being responsible for thousands of lives every day while his brother claimed income support.
He wanted an easy life so he prayed:
"Dear Lord:
I have to follow orders all day, hold my nerve in a manic environment and be held responsible for the safety of others, while my brother just plays on his Wii all day.
I want him to know what I go through.
So, please allow his body to switch with mine for a day.
Amen!"
God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the air traffic controller's wish.
The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke in his brother's house transformed into a jobless layabout.
He went back to sleep and got up at midday. Made himself a sandwich. Wondered why he was condemned to be the black sheep of the family. He never meant to be lazy, it just worked out that way. Thought about suicide. Went down the JobCentre and stood in a queue, wedged between an talkative alcoholic and a schizophrenic psycho. The lady at the counter looked at him pityingly and gave him just enough money for another week's sandwiches and bus fares. Got splashed at the bus stop. Once home, he set up the Wii and spent the next 10 hours in a pointless frenzy before collapsing on the couch
The next morning, he awoke with tears in his eyes and immediately knelt by the Wii and said: -
"Lord, I don't know what I was thinking.
I was so wrong to envy my brother having nothing to do all day.
Please, oh! Oh! Please, let us trade back.
Amen!"
And so it was, but it was too late. His brother had lost him his job after a Boeing hit the motorway at full pelt. Later that day he went out for a walk and hasn't been found since.[/b]
Well, I helped her this morning, and yesterday. Suppose that's a start.
Chin up, mate! Life's too short.
