Commuting three hours a day was hard. Especially when you're not really a morning person and thrive for light. You find your entertainment though. One day we were almost to our stop on the way home. After sitting all day I feel pretty antsy to just get home at the end of the day. I remember hearing a young married guys conversation on the phone. I was laughing all night. Maybe I thought it was really funny because I was looking for anything. I overheard him on the phone saying. "I'm twenty five! She can't tell me what to do." then "Ya, she told me to go to bed..." "I'm a twenty five year old, I'll do what I want." I found it so funny. He must have been talking about his wife. I frequently learned things I should and shouldn't do as a wife.
Lunch breaks. I was usually the only female in the lunch room. All of the men would tell situations where they didn't think before they speak or things they shouldn't tell their wives. I found their stories very funny and entertaining. If you've heard the song pocketful of poetry by mindy gledhill that's exactly how I feel. After sitting in front of a desk all day I'll take any entertainment I can get. Men say and do such dumb things sometimes ha ha. (I know women do the same!) One of the guys had his wife mowing the lawn when she was very pregnant and the neighbor paid another neighborhood kid to mow it ha ha ha. Then if the husband cooks on the weekends he should tell the wife to get a weekend job. (that wasn't very nice! the wife is taking care of kids, cooks, cleans, and does plenty. The women is the nurturer) It's so nice of the husband to cook on weekends! Another funny oops was the family was waiting for the dad to bbq and he told the wife "you could bbq too." Ha ha barbequing is just something men should do. In all the movies and everything it's always the men barbequing. There's fire under there. Women leave the fire to the men ha ha. They love it! One more... one of the guys wives wanted to make a craft for their date night. Bad idea! Ha ha. In the future I'll keep my crafts small... except for house fixing stuff. I wouldn't call it a date though. Men+crafting=bad.
It's a good learning experience to see how the other side of how someday things will be. I learned things I should and shouldn't do to make things easier for my spouse. After hearing them talk makes me realize I should brush off offensive things people say because they're not really trying to offend.
