Erica Jong hit the truth button with her guilt quote above. Of course, it’s probably not 100% true. There must be some men who feel as much guilt as women feel every day. But then, maybe not. That’s a research topic our government should look into.
For the guys who may be reading this, and may be asking, “What kind of things do women find to feel guilty about?” here are a few of the frequent culprits:
- I shouldn’t have eaten that cookie.
- I feel bad leaving Bobby with a babysitter.
- I didn’t make the bed.
- I didn’t have time to put in a load of laundry before work.
- My sales report was only 42 pages this month.
- And there was a typo.
- My inlaws are coming to dinner and I have no idea what I’m going to fix and I’m stuck in a boring management meeting and I’m wishing I would have asked my husband to pick up steaks on his way home and one of those gooey chocolate cakes (now I feel extra guilt for that thought)…
Now listen to what you can do about this. I’ll give you 2 tips this week!
