No fight intended. I was just saying you REALLY misunderstood what Kim was saying. But she explained it, and you understood what she was saying, so it's all good now.
I'm not usually in it for a fight either. Bad for my blood pressure y'know.

Thank you for this But I should have clarified- my husband doesn’t feel like or treat me as though I’m a burden at all; those are just my own feelings, what I personally try to avoid. I’ve seen too many cases where the wife stays home, presumably to be a homemaker and raise the kids, but then doesn’t actually DO anything.
My own sister was/is like this (I can’t say for sure she is now, as we no longer speak). Her husband had a high-paying job that allowed her to stay home with her daughter. I stayed with her for a couple of weeks at one point, and...it was just crazy. She didn’t spend any time with her child; the kid was sent to her room to watch tv. This kid’s room was knee deep in toys, clothes, blankets, and garbage. I cleaned it for her once- and the joy on her face at being able to use her room for playing broke my heart. The rest of the house was just as bad, and I spent my days cleaning everything while my sister sat in front of her computer or slept. And then the money she would waste...I overheard several arguments between her and her husband about money. It was just a sad situation all around.
So my concern for myself not being that way is not because of my husband- I take it on myself to do most of what I do. I just wanted to clarify that

and good that your husband appreciates your hard work-- if he saw your sister's place he might even more!
Well I’m glad I can multi task.
Without me there would be no one to do the gardening.
Oh and this is what I mean by gardening, last year I got a saw and sawed through
several thick branches up a ladder over a wall, cut them all up and dragged the garden
waste bin to the top of the Street ready for collection.
View attachment 178901
Without me there would be no one to go to work and bring
home the bacon.
Without me there would be no one to unblock drains.
Without me there would have been less people to help put up
tents and camp beds when I volunteered for a children’s camp
every year.
There would have been only one lady instead of two ladies to drag
loads of boxes of tracts, bibles and Christian literature out of an attic
for a Christian charity I did some volunteer work for.
There would be no one to lug all the heavy stuff around in the house, clear the
snow, do all the bending, lifting carrying around the house generally, painting,
telling the plumbing, electrician, what to do when they come (I hold my hands up
I can’t do these jobs lol),
But I’m still fluffy and dye my hair purple and still have all the added extras a woman
should have. (Just saying as these days with 5 genders ya never know.)

"His mother said to the servants, 'do whatever He tells you.'" (John 2:5).
Your garden looks like it has a great start!
You might have heard the story of the preacher and the farmer--old one...
The preacher said to him, “My good man, God has certainly blessed you with a magnificent farm.” And then, there was a pause as the farmer took off his cape and shifted in the tractor seat to take a look at his pride and joy. He then looked at the preacher and he said, “Yes, He has, and we’re grateful. But you should have seen this place when He had it all to Himself.”
"Every farmer along this road and in this country has been blessed with the same land, pretty much, and the same opportunity. Each has worked his farm according to his nature. Every farm, every home of every family in the country is the living reflection of the people who dwell in it. He understood that the land we’re given was not the acres we buy for our farm or the lot on which we build or buy a home, but rather the life we give it, what we do with what we have. Our lives are our plots of ground, and that’s the land we sow and from which we are then obliged to reap the resulting harvest. And the way we’ve sown will be reflected in every department of our lives."

Whoa-- better not re-post Shania there-- Canada country gone wild--she probably couldn't sing that in church! I've heard that song, just never seen her sing it--her story is inspiring although distressing.
Let's give Shania Twain another chance-- looks like maybe Shania needs to let "Jesus take the wheel" ?--
this is a more mellow version of another one of her songs--

I keep thinking of Genesis when I read this.
"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
Male and female/masculine and feminine are important distinctions in these days of gender confusion and perversion. However, the main thing is that both men and women are made in God's own image
