THE FROG PRINCE: A MODERN DAY TALE

Two years ago, I read this from the book of Allison Pearson, "I don’t know how she does it". It was really a very good book to read, especially recommended for women with kids, who are thankful for having kids, and also for those who have a career to juggle and a household to manage (including a husband who complains of not enough time for the two of them) ....

....whew----
"Once upon a time, in a land far away,(why do fairy tales always start that way???) a beautiful, independent, self-assured princess happened upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the shores of an unpolluted pond, in a verdant meadow, near her castle. The frog hopped into the princess’ lap and said, "Sweet lady, I was once a handsome prince, until an evil witch cast a spell on me. One kiss from you, however, and I willturn back into the dapper prince that i am. Then, my sweet, we can marry and set up house in your castle, where you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children, and forever feel grateful and happy doing so."

That night, dining on the repast of lightly sauteed frog legs, the princess chuckled to herself, and thought, "I don’t f-ck-ng think so…"

That is where many of our modern day frog princes are wrong--- They think that just because women are married to them, they can make a slave out of  the women who took their names...Marriage is not something to be grateful for.. It is a choice and a commitment! It is a journey between EQUALS... It is not something you owe your husband for marrying you.. Women are far better than how they were back in the dark ages--- We now have better lives because we deserve to live better.. And come to think of it, with or without men, we can exist and live happy lives.. After all, we are the stronger sex-- hahaha... 
Think about these points:
  • We can think and  at the same time do hard labor--- 
  • We know how to balance between play and work and family time--- 
  • We take on more responsibilities other than make money for our family's benefit-- 
  • We can run a household and at the same time run an office/department or do huge charity or marketing campaigns...
  • When a child gets sick, we can survive not sleeping 24 hours if only to see our kids through---
  • Husbands can not survive family affairs and family life in general without their wives---
If all these things I pointed out are not true, then how come most men have a wife and a mistress at the same time a plaything and a fling...  Not to mention the doting mother who still competes with all the women mentioned even at the age of 34-45...
Well???? Just give me some comments.. I will hear you out--- NO FIGHTING, OKAY (WINK)... LMAO...
