Scrub the dried pee and poop splatters off the toilet, wash away shaved off the facial hairs, dried toothpaste, and grayish brown film off the bathroom sink, wipe down the walls and floor around and under the toilet and that would be the bathroom. Wash out the mugs of dried milk, clean butter and toast crumbs off the counter, and move the muddy shoes out of my path. Make meals, clean the dishes and kitchen from said meal and put away leftovers. Find dirty work pants on my side of the bed and a work jacket hanging on the kitchen cabinet knob. Find socks, boxers, and shirts in various places. Find other pairs of shoes, not mine, in my way while walking through the house. I find the trash over flowing and not taken out. I then get requests for clean clothes. Funny, I thought life with men would be different.
When Cinderella worked like this she got to become a Princess! When Snow White worked like this she became a Princess! And we all know what being a Princess means. You have married the hero. The adversity of being a slave meant the man worked really really hard to win you over. Disney lied to all of us little girls telling us being married was glamorous! I am here to say BULLSHIT! What is glamorous about all that? What is glamorous about mowing, cooking meals, cleaning up after people, and dealing with trash? Where is my tiara? My fucking glass slippers? How about my gorgeous gown? Manicured nails? Perfect tall and slender shape?
Society keeps this lie going with questions like, "when are you going to get married?"
What we should say to each other is "when are you going to join the ranks of unappreciated volunteer slaves union? You don't get paid, birthday and anniversaries will be an after thought if thought of at all. Your hair will never look this nice ever again. Your favorite shoe will be the house slipper with dusting ability. You will sit and daydream about pool boys and that "hero" you thought you were going to get. You sit with your women friends talking about that life you thought you were going to have and lament over margaritas."
Instead we lie along with Disney and let people fall into the same predicament over and over again. It is the American way!
