My Husband Roger's selfish ways

My husband Roger is a selfish person. For one thing he refuses to move out of the city, even thought it is a terrible place to raise children. Our children can’t ride their bikes around the neighborhood because of busy traffic and speeding drivers. Our children can’t even play in the front yard with their friends its unsafe, we’ve found hypordermic needles and gun ammunition shells in the driveway. Second, when we go on vacation we always go where Roger wants to go. He is afraid to fly so all six of us spend hours and hours in our compact family car. In desperate need of a shower we don’t arrive at any five star luxury hotel, instead at a mosquito infested campground, with cold water only outdoor showers. Another example of Roger’s selfishness is that he always spends any budget money on ciggaretts, lottery tickets and cheap souvenirs that we don’t need. But the biggest example of my selfish husband has to be that he leaves all the caring for our children up to me. From bathing, to little league practice, and going as far as to have me take our two daughters to the “ Father ” daughter dance! Roger is the most selfish person I’ve ever known and this is why I want a new husband.

Writing assignment 3

Despite modern appliances, many household chores are still a drudgery. First is the laundry, now I know some people will say that the machine does all the work, but I have to disagree; my machine has yet to go through everyone's pants pockets for change, chapstick, and I-pods. And in the case of my four year old daughter Jenna, acorns, rocks, or Barbi shoes. My machine also doesn't seem to un-ball smelly sox's or carry the heavy askets up two flights of stairs, fold everything and put it away. Second, has to be the yard work. Now I know technically this is not in the house hold, but its still a chore that is tough dispite the fact that tools were invented to make it easier for us. The leafs still don't rake themselves! I have had my fair share of soar arm and shoulder muscles, and blistered hands. A few cases as well of sun poisoning and heat stroke have plagued me trying to mow the lawn on hot summer days. Regaurdless of weather I have a gas powered mower or not. Third and worst of all has to be making and cleaning up supper. Chopping, basting, frying, sauteing, baking and and microwaving take a lot out of me at the end of an already long day. Even with quick meals made in twenty minutes or less, as the add says; thats still not help enough. In this moder day and age I'm waiting for the king of all household appliances to come to my rescue, the Robot the appliance that will do it all.
