Six married men will be dropped on an island with one car and 3 kids each for six weeks. Each kid will play two sports and take either music or dance classes. There is no fast food. Each man must take care of his 3 kids; keep his assigned house clean, correct all homework, complete science projects, cook, do laundry, and pay a list of 'pretend' bills with not enough money.In addition, each man will have to budget enough money for groceries each week. Each man must remember the birthdays of all their friends and relatives, and send cards out on time--no emailing. Each man must also take each child to a doctor's appointment, a dentist appointment and a haircut appointment. He must make one unscheduled and inconvenient visit per child to the Emergency Room. He must also make cookies or cupcakes for a school function. Each man will be responsible for decorating his own assigned house, planting flowers outside, and keeping it presentable at all times.
The men will only have access to television when the kids are asleep and all chores are done. The men must shave their legs, wear makeup daily, adorn themselves with jewelry, wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes, keep fingernails polished, and eyebrows groomed During one of the six weeks, the men will have to endure severe abdominal cramps, backaches, headaches, have extreme, unexplained mood swings but never once complain or slow down from other duties.
They must attend weekly school meetings and church, and find time at least once to spend the afternoon at the park or a similar setting. They will need to read a book to the kids each night and in the morning, feed them, dress them, brush their teeth and comb their hair by 7:30 am.A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each father will be required to know all of the following information: each child's birthday, height, weight, shoe size, clothes size, doctor's name, the child's weight at birth, length, time of birth, and length of labor, each child's favorite color, middle name, favorite snack, favorite song, favorite drink, favorite toy, biggest fear, and what they want to be when they grow up.
The kids vote them off the island based on performance. The last man wins only if...he still has enough energy to be intimate with his spouse at a moment's notice.If the last man does win, he can play the game over and over and over again for the next 18-25 years, eventually earning the right to be called Mother!
While all this is very exciting – I have yet to see a mother who does ANY of the above without bitching moaning incessantly and while we are on the subject of been intimate at a moments notice…..will these men also allowed to use the same old adage that ALL men are so used to hearing…”not tonight honey – I’m so tired” or “I have a headache”
ReplyDeleteAlso show me the mom who goes through the monthly aches, cramps, mood swings etc. WITHOUT moaning, groaning, getting scratchy or all of the above.
Then AND Only then would I be the first in line to participate in THIS particular survivor series.
Hit a bit of a nerve there China?
ReplyDeleteMy mother NEVER complained having to do things for us kids or working her butt off to keep our heads above water and still have enough time to give us the attention needed…maybe your mom did and maybe your ex wife did…or is it a case of you not getting of your ass and helping around the house and with the kids and that is why YOU get the “not tonight honey – I’m so tired” or “I have a headache” ---some advice…foreplay starts when you wake up in the morning…not when you go to bed and feel like a bit of hanky panky!
Again, I know loads of women who go through their monthly aches and cramps without moaning about it…and let me assure you if men got monthly’s they would all have hysterectomies at 18! There would not be any humans left on this earth!
