Excuse me, I was working at the time. We hiked on Saturdays, and summer evenings. The dancing was early in the morning, and I worked partly at the office, and partly at home. Sheesh!
These last few posts illustrate why we women don't let the men know how much fun we're having.
I have to admit, that all women don't hike and ski and play tennis, but they find other things "fun". I love to "read books and play on the phone! Some women would just like to sit and stare at the scenery, or soak in a hot bathtub, after a hard day.
I was a SAHM for a few years, and playing with my babies and toddlers was the most fun, ever! It was worth the long hours (24/7), the pregnancy sickness, and the anxiety when they were sick. I remember being tired most of the time, but I still had interesting volunteer work at the schools, good talks with friends, a few clandestine meetings for frozen yogurt, and good times with women friends and their kids at the beach. Even the worst day as a SAHM was better than the average day at a mundane job, IMO. (Though, it was more exhausting.)
But don't tell the Mormon men that.
When I wanted to work, it was only when the kids were at school. For me, working was better than being abused by my husband, and the less I was around him, the less I was abused. He was resentful of my career, because I was lucky, and I enjoyed it too much.
If an A-hole wants to criticize his wife, he will criticize her, no matter what she does.
