[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sadly I think many of these unattainable expectations come from other women and I wonder if we are our own worst enemies. Some men may have these expectations too, but I suspect we women are screwing ourselves over. **warning** I'm a little venty and negative today.

Be model thin and look hungry, weak and frail, but make a good living and have a high ranking position & look great in career clothes and be able to eat whatever you want.

Bring home some bacon, fry it up in a pan, take care of the kids and never ever let him forget he's a man no matter how exhausted you are (bow chicka bow bow)

Meet the demands of family, in-laws, bosses, etc without complaint and make it look easy and fun

Shuttle our kids from activity to activity to playdate with a smile on our face.

Be sweet and doormatty whenever possible and don't say words like "no" "hell no" and "ef you, no way."

If you demand "me time" and do thinks for yourself, you are selfish.

Don't ever get sick and if you do, forget taking any time to yourself to recover.

Be the scapegoat for angry in-laws, kids and so forth and accept it with a smile.

Attend to your children's every emotional and physical need and expect daddy to be their favorite.

I know, I know...I sound bitter. I am bitter today, but not bitter most days.[/quote]

I disagree with your me time bullet. I would add you are expected to somehow do all the things you list AND have me time to do things like pilates and work out, self reflect, be well read, keep up with your girlfriends. Me time is just another thing if you don't have you should feel guilty about. [/quote]
