Men are from Mars... Women are just on their Periods.

Ok.  Let's be honest... Men are certainly from Mars. Bottom line is that they could not survive without us.  Our brains are quicker, we are sharper....basically we are 24 hour project managers.  We manage the house, the kids, the cleaning, the cooking, the grocery shopping... (yes there are excpetions.  my bestie's husband is amazing on all of the above) but let's just talk in general.  It's a good match... men and women.  A frustrating one... but God knew Men needed us.  Men-0 Women-1

I can also tell you that women are NOT from Venus... whatever the hell that means.  We are just on our periods.  Men roll their eyes.... and I ask them... HAVE YOU EVER BEEN ON YOUR PERIOD?! I've heard that we use this as an excuse.  No, you guys use the fact that you "don't know how to do something" as an excuse.  We are just honest... don't mess with us the week before... or the first few days of.  It's law.

That being said, we certainly aren't proud of the fact that we overreact to the milk being gone, or the dish in the sink, or the fact that we think you don't love us because you didn't call at 5:01 but at 5:15.  Or maybe even nothing at all.  It sets us off, makes us cry, or makes us shamefully angry.  It's ridiculous.  It's infuriating.  And I can't imagine what it's like to live with a woman and have her be like this for basically 2 weeks out of every month.  Men-1 Women-1

But just think about it for a second:  if it drives you crazy to live with us and put up with this... imagine BEING US, and going THROUGH THIS every month.  It's exausting.  It's crippling, and it's enough to make us want to jump off the roof. 

So now that we are even, just take this one piece of advice... tread lightly during these times.  Pay more attention to helping around the house during P days, being more understanding when we overreact because there aren't anymore cups and the diswashers full, or at work when we ask for something and we don't get a definitive answer and bite your head off, or jump on your ass like a spider monkey because of that wet towel on the floor.  Give and take.  Just remember.... we feel bad and will always make up for it.  I promise I speak for all crazed ladies out there. 

Just throwin' it out there.
