Read this funny entry.
I was reading Mye’s fotopages when I came across a sentence of doubt of whether she is a bad wife because she hasn’t sown a button or something on her hubby’s shirt.
Man, don’t we women feel the same way?!
Growing up we are more confined in every way compared to the guys. Here are some painful reality of being a woman in any society:
- If we get married late, people will think that there’s something wrong with us and call us andartu and memilih (lagi2 kalau kita kerja professional or belajar tinggi2, habihla…), while older men who are bujang are perceived as bersaham tinggi and oh-so-eligible.
- If we get divorced, they call us janda and see us as the-bad-wife-who-do-not-know-how-to-treat-her-husband-right. Kalau duda, diorang ingat sure ex-wife dia dulu is a bad wife and pernah bomohkan dia/curang dgn jantan lain/ tak bersyukur punya perempuan etc.
- It’s not enough to bear your children, endure pregnancy-related problems and labour pain, and stay up every night taking care of the sick and needy child (and husband), we also have to maintain our weight and ‘kepejalan’ and look freakin’ nice for our men after 5 children. Why do you think women are so obsessed with being beautiful and the people who invented Botox are so F-ing rich??? Bila kita beli mekap, dia kata kita membazir duit melaram, kalau kita ehem ‘plain’ dia compare kita dengan kerani ofis dia yang mekap tebal 2 inci tu.
- We are expected to cook, wash, clean the toilets, vacuum and mop the floor, make the beds, gi shopping (dgn duit seciput yg you guys bagi (kalau bagi la) sah-sah tak cukup then you claim we all boros), call your mother, bayar bil, tempah tiket flight/wayang/show, take care of the children (mandikan anak, basuh berak, hantar gi nursery, ambik dari nursery, bawak gi klinik, bawak gi kedai, bagi anak makan, and tidurkan anak), kutip baju kotor, lipat baju, gosok baju, buang sampah, gi dobi, ambik baju dari dobi, keep records of all appointment and wedding/birthday invitations, memorize birth dates and anniversaries, lap perabot, layan tetamu, belikan shaver and seluar dalam suami etc… ALL THESE despite working the same hours as men. While you guys come home, expect dinner to be served and watch TV/main internet all night long. Anything we say to you in between qualifies as ‘nagging’.
- If your husband is having an affair (and God-forbid -if he kills the mistress later and then his affair becomes public and appears on every major newspaper - with the mistress’s photo next to YOURS), people will compare you with the mistress or the second wife and discover that the other woman is prettier and more voluptuous than you (there’s no way we can compete with age!)
So guys, please give your wives a break and take her on a surprise holiday/dinner once in a while ok?
