How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Life As A Girl

in Everyday on

There are times in your life when you just have to admit, it’s great to be able to play the girl card.

  • Women can cry their little hearts out at a good chick flick. No judgments will be made. Kleenex will be passed.
  • Women can declare a box “Too Heavy”. Men can’t do that. Well, I guess they can but it’s not very sexy.
  • Girls are able to ask for directions. Apparently, men are not able to do this? They are missing the “direction asking gene”. That’s a fact. I asked around.
  • Women can SHOCK a man when we kick his butt in a hand of poker, hang a picture, or put together a desk from IKEA all on our own. These things men are just supposed to know how to do.
  • We can be scared. It’s even cute.
  • Enjoy a mani/pedi. Men can too, to a point.  Personally, I’ve advised my girls to avoid all boys who have better nail art then they do.
  • Wear a pretty little sundress to that wedding while he melts in his hot, yet oh so gorgeous suit.
  • Women can scream for help when we see a hairy spider. Men, not so much.  That’s not cute.
  • Get giggly over wine. Yeah, not so attractive from a dude.

I know there are lots of things about being a woman that truly suck…PMS, unrealistic body expectations, the crunch between work and home…but I would never, not ever want to be a man.

So I’ll admit it, here in the Suburbs, sometimes it’s good to be a girl.

    10. Being a woman might have some drawbacks and it’s so amazing……and being a Mom is the best!

    11. Lots of times I am cursing the fact I don’t have certain “male” skills or strength but yes at the end of the day I’m thankful to be a girl! We deal with a lot but we get some great perks!
