Thanks for your post. You are a lovely person. Now, I still feel a little misunderstood but I get where you are coming from. We just have a different view on it, that’s all. My mother was a hospital domestic and my father a woodman. Both were immigrants and in my fathers case a refugee to the Uk. I respect manual jobs but I have never been able to do them, aside from work in a shop which I did as a teen. I was top in many subjects at school except
for maths, physics and bottom in domestic science, And I don’t have a snobbery about it just that it doesn’t resonate with me. Being bought up in my formative years by my father who was very good at domestic science and insisted on doing all the cooking, cleaning and washing without help, gave me the rather blinkered view view that a man does these things and domestically I have always been worse than hopeless. The man in a relationship has always done it. Not that this is right, and seems to be a reverse gender bias issue. Blame my father. It is just how things have been, I recognise this as odd, but I have absolutely no aptitude for manual jobs that involve cooking and cleaning.
Thanks for your clarity about a real woman, it did feel like a personal dig and I somehow get the feeling you think I am a bit of a snob. But, I have the snobbery that may come from not wanting to do things in the world that I cannot resonate with even if the rest of the world is doing it. I hope that makes sense,.
I was asleep after 10pm group tonight and have just woken up. My friend with cancer has sent me a healing manual to read and asked for my view. She had found it quite inspiring. This is quite interesting as it is by the healer she goes to who actually really messed me up when I went to see him on her recommendation. I went re the gambling issue when I was very active, It was when my colon problem first manifested and started one year ago now. It was the day I did reiki with hi and was too unwell to go back for the second day. Interesting stuff and connection that I can’t pretend to understand. Unravelling some of the mysteries of life. Better than jut sitting around playing games in the iPad….
