Men VS Women-who has it easier?

It's Wednesday I got nothing...I guess I could have posted this pic and talked about the fact that when mama-specifically ME says apply sunscreen before you leave for the pool, then re-apply at the first adult swim and your so-white-you-need-to-wear-shades-when-you-see-him-shirtless- freckled faced-son replies 'REAL MEN DON'T NEED SUNSCREEN" 

That I actually do know what I am talking about...but who wants to talk or hear about the fact that my son the Reese-A-Nator now looks like a LOBSTER...I know, I got NO pity for him either...moving on...


Instead I saw this at Missy's blog and asked if I could borrow it...

So Tell me...who has it better/easier

  2. You've got that right! LOL And, I empathise -- my oldest son "forgot" to put sunscreen on at the beach today until about half way through our time there. I'm sure he'll be a lobster tomorrow!

    Thanks for dropping by my blog.

  9. I love rainy days, too - but only when I get to stay home... in my pjs.
    I'm a sunscreen nazi. Drives my husband crazy! He can't believe that I buy 70spf.

  10. Wait a minute....why is the man's list so much longer than the woman's list?? LOL

    Oh, you should hear me with my kids about the sunscreen. I have to practically sit on them to get them covered enough to steer clear of a sunburn.

  11. I'm dropping by from Yaya's blog to say good morning. Women have it sooo much easier but according to the lists men have more advantages...weird.

  12. How about when men want to lose weight it drops right off of them; but when women want to, they have to diet and exercise, and even then it only drops one measly little pound at a time? Yeah, men definitely got the better end of the deal : )

    There are enough on each list to be happy with who you are!

  14. Okay, these were totally cute! But hey, I like to fart to amuse myself! Really!

  15. That was funny. Sometimes it's just not fair. I guess it is a give and take kind of thing.

  16. Okay, I have to admit I take exception to #5 on the women's list because, quite frankly, I thought Cartoon Tarzan, from the movie, was HAWT!! ;-)

    You know you've watched too many Disney movies when the phrase, "We're watching an adult movie tonight," simply means that it has a PG-13 rating or higher.

  17. I think men have it easier overall! Blah!

    ReplyDelete
  18. PEE STANDING UP! Thats HUGE!!! Cant believe you forgot it!!!! Oh and we dont have to wipe our cocks after so we use WAY less TP!

  19. I don't care who has it easier - I'd way rather be a woman.

    We can bend gender rules more easily. We can wear pants and dresses. I bet male nurses are more annoyed by the stereotypes than female fighter pilots.

  22. Real men do TOO wear sunscreen. At least, real men with histories of melanoma in their family. Mine (all five) lather up.

    Take him home some pictures of guys with half their noses missing from the resection. Just see if he refuses to wear sunscreen again.
