When you are helpless (esp. in this country)

Not all men are like that.. my dad used to make breakfast for us even when our mom was still sleeping and we had to go to school.. everytime my mom was sick, she preferred staying with the dad than her family because she knew he took better care of her and us girls.. not only that, my brother in law cooked and took care of everyone when my sister and her older two boys were down with chicken pox.. it was the roughest time for their family.. no one was willing to come to their house because of the fear of chickenpox and honestly my sister didnt even want anyone there.. her husband took care of them ranging from food/drink to oatmeal baths for the sick ones..not to mention, he managed to go to work and play with the youngest son who didn;t understand why older brothers werent playing or going out with him!!!

Don;t generalize all men.. I come from a family where girls and boys are raised equally and help each other out not only in kitchen but even to fix the flat tires!!! :p
