Some hispanic men — Latina Point

annoy the hell out of me.

Recently I’ve been noticing that some hispanic men (the older ones that I personally know) are so NEEDY! They need assistance with just about everything they do. And on top of that they have a bad habit of ordering their wives to do things for them. They never ask. I guess it’s a given that she will do whatever he says…-_-

The men in my family have told me I’m never going to get married with my “modern” views on relationships. Apparently I need to calm down with my “feminism”. Well if that’s the case then I’m fine being single till I die. I don’t think it’s possible for me to maintain my sanity while living with a man who needs help finding an envelope…the salt…the phone number for HIS friend! Dude get it together!!!! You’re a grown man, and I’m not your mother.These things seem small but when its a 100 requests like these a day it gets kinda overwhelming and annoying.

I have no problem cooking and cleaning and all that good stuff. But it should be clear that I don’t HAVE to do it. Why must I run home to cook you dinner if you’re ALREADY THERE?!

You have two hands…use them.

I just don’t see why I have to do things for you, that you are perfectly capable of doing yourself. Sure if you’re running late I’ll iron your shirt, but otherwise ironing really isn’t that complicated and I’m sure you can handle it. I wouldn’t ask my husband to put gas in my car, or to change the oil. It’s stupid, and a waste of his time if I can do it myself.

I don’t think a marriage should be an excuse to have your spouse doing things for you. These gender roles will be blurred in my household. That’s all I’m saying.
