Money was created by a man. Money was created by a man, so he could make a woman feel small.
I find myself thinking this after having a conversation with my un-husband about work and money.
I'm a working mom now, because Shmoe thought that a second income would be a good idea, and because it would be "good" for my "self esteem" to get out of the house once and a while.
Well week four brings no clean house when I get out, no floors swept, not even a parcel of paper picked up from it's spot on the table. But that is because my "job" (twenty hours out of the week) doesn't count.
My job doesn't matter because I haven't worked for near ten years. My job doesn't count because I do not make as much as he makes. It's always about money.
My job makes me feel appreciated for the hard work I put in, it made me think I could be an equal to my partner, it makes me think my kids will respect a working mom. What it really does is cause more problems in my un-marrage than not making any money at all!
When does more equal enough? There is never enough money. I live pretty comfortably, and think that I could use a few cutbacks in my budget. But Shmoe thinks that him working harder and more often would be a better idea. Working more equals less time at home, while I'm at work, and the kids are home. The one day a week I need him most will now become MY problem. ALONG with laundry, dinner, grocery shopping, making lunch getting kids to school, work, homework, taking care of dogs, and a list of others.
Such is the problem with money, and the reason I know, Men Created Money!
Keep reading thanx!
