Ah men

Are we really the weaker sex? Because everything I'm reading about weaning says that boys should be nursed longer, since they are more prone to sickness. I remember the NICU nurses assuring me that Elle would be fine, she is a girl, and girls are much stronger than boys. She is actually. She has had much less of a problem with all the shots she has gotten, even the hot lots... and Justin reacted to just one.

So are we really weaker? Aren't we the ones who grow babies and birth them? And then feed them until they can tolerate solid foods? Someone has pulled the wool over our eyes. Women are much stronger than we are given credit for. Who is responsible for this farce?

Working in the hospital was an eye opener. The men were so wimpy when they were sick... but the women just put on a brave face and got through it. They were much better when it came to pain. And most of the time when a man was sick, he had his wife there to support him. But usually when the tables were turned, husbands couldn't be counted on to be there for their wives. It was their friends who were there for them.

God I need to write a book about all my hospital experiences. I think it would be cathartic. Gee I'll get right on that...
