I miss you all..


Hi Vivienn.. Hi every one.. Ebrahem, Anna, Ahmad, Ming, and Ezabella.. How r u all doing??
I miss you all. I am enjoying my life; setting home with my baby, cleaning, cocking, washing clothes, and fall asleep at the end of the day. In two weeks I will go back to Saudi to spend the holey month of Ramadan with my family (god willing). Ramadan is the holey month for all muslims. Muslims around the word start to fast in this month each day from sunrise to sunset.
My husband is encouraging me to get back to school again because, he thinks, that the school makes me busy so I stop criticizing him for any thing he does. Well, I think so. I have read ones that men use 2000 words a day, whereas women use 5000 words a day. According to this theory, my husband consumes 1500 words at work talking with his patients, due to the fact that he is a doctor, and return home with the remaining 500 words versus my 5ooo words. After an hour I end up talking with my self, and criticizing hem for not putting his shoes next to each other!!
Do you see how much I miss you and I miss the class?
Anyways, I hope that you all r doing good, and enjoying your class as much as you can.
My best regards to you and to Kety and Kloudia.

Asma I miss You a lot, on monday I asked the teacher about You and I am really happy that You wrote a little. I want to tell You that even we came from totally different countries, religious, and we speak different languages we have the same problems with husbands, I agree that we talk much more than ours husbands, and they are more active in their work than at home, and they think that most of the home work is doing by itself, and we are seating all day doing nothing; even though We love them (husbands)a lot and We never wouldn't change them. I hope that I will have chance to see You one day, I wish You and all Your' family peacefull Ramadan time, And a lot of blessing for Your doughter. Bye Anna.

Asma and the other ladies in our class,
husbands are not "more active in their work than at home", they are actually active in both if they get the positive atmosphere. It 's hard for a husband who spends the whole day at work expecting a nice and a romantic conversation when getting home to face the reality of the inevitable "5000 words" or more is there!!!where is " We love them (husbands)a lot"?
then,how you, ladies, expecting them to be "more active at home as at work". God bless all you ladies.
with our respects.

Wow. I have completely the opposite problem. I can't get my husband to STOP talking.

On the other hand, he does most of the housework and cooking, so I think it is a fair trade.

We also have very different work schedules. I spend ALL my time at work talking to many, many people, and when I get home I just want to have quiet space around me. He is mostly alone all day, so he wants to talk when I come home.

I don't think this is a battle of the sexes so much as a function of the solitary life vs the "crowded" life. When I was at home all day and he was out at work dealing with people, we had the opposite reactions!
