My response indicated, truthfully by the way, that I procrastinate. This applies to tasks, not responsibilities. I don't miss deadlines. I don't turn in incomplete or shoddy work. And I don't expect anyone else to pick up the slack. My work is mine, it's done right and it's done on time.

That has nothing to do with life at home, where we don't have chores and deadlines. I do all the cooking. I am the one that puts the kids on the bus each morning, lunches and all. I rotate laundry before I go to work and at night before I go to bed too. I have always been the one to do bathtime with the kids, and put them to bed...stories and all. I do it because it needs to be done and just because Mrs. WI is home more often than I am doesn't mean she should be the one doing it.

What do I want? Nothing. I don't deserve recognition. I don't want a medal. No statues erected in the center of the yard. But, please don't assume that I'm lazy because I have a penis.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
