Things I have figured out and/or learned this past month in living with this boy:
- I am a messy girl and he is a neat boy.
- I will always blame any gas on his dog.
- I still consider taking out the trash a "boy job."
- I forget to get the mail.
- The amount of hair I loose and leave around the house (not on purpose!) baffles him.
- I'm terrible at sharing a bathroom.
- I'm a messy cook and I don't really like to clean the kitchen.
- Toilet paper inventory is a "girl job."
- Despite both of us being more aware of gender (un)equality than most people (due to our sociological studies), we quite often default to traditional gender roles and tasks.
But:
- I try to not be too messy and try to sprawl less.
- He accepts the dog as the source reasoning.
- He doesn't mind taking out the trash and does so if I ask him to.
- He gets the mail since I always seem to forget.
- The hair...well, that combined with the dog's shedding will always baffle him.
- We have two sinks in our bathroom so I'm better at sharing
- He cleans the kitchen after I cook (SCORE!!!)
- If we have less than 10 rolls of toilet paper I consider us out. And I will make sure we are never, ever out.
- I like traditional roles, and I think he doesn't mind them either.
- I always have someone to cuddle with on the couch, whether it be him, a dog or 2 or all 3 of them. It's cute but sometimes I can't feel my feet.
- And he puts the seat down! Thus I avoid a war where I result to bribery.
So. All in all, I like living with this boy. Sarah win!
