Driving Rampage

I was watching a show on Saudi Channel 2 called, "Mishmash" which is a show that has discussions on reliant topics to the society. The topic yesterday was: "Are boy and girls raised the same and are they punished the same when they get into trouble". Of course during the discussion the issue of brothers having to drive their sisters around came up. The boys were of the opinion that girls were treated like little princesses that have way too much freedom. The girls thought that the boys had more freedom. The boy's main reason as to why they thought girls had more freedom was because they had to rearrange their schedule's and live their lives around their sisters wants in order to drive them here or there. But the thing that was never mentioned was that it is not women's faults that we can’t drive ourselves around many women given the opportunity would like to drive themselves around. So what do the men expect us to do if we are not allowed ? Should we then sit at home and not go out ever or only when it is convenient for them. If men don’t like being the chauffeur for the women in their lives then why is it that most men disagree with women driving in Saudi Arabia? So that leaves us in a pickle and the result is that most women struggle to get things done and to get where they need to go.

I will now speak from personal experience as I have the most trouble getting around compared to most of my friends. My bathroom light burnt out about a week or so ago and I have been using a candle to do my business at night for all that time. I have of course in that time reminder hubby to go to the store and by light bulbs to fix the lights in the bathroom. He forgets or becomes too busy or is distracted by something else. So I will hound and hound until it gets done but why should I have to do that when I am able to go out and do it myself and can take the burden off of his shoulders and I would not be pissing by candle light. Don’t let me get started on the door handle to the bathroom that has been broken even longer and he tells me all the time to be careful because he is afraid I will get locked in. I tell him why don’t you go buy a new handle and fix it. I guess he must not be too worried…lol I mean it gets down right stupid when you have to schedule an appointment to go grocery shopping or to get to the pharmacy or the doctor for that matter. It gets even worse when you want to get together with friends because trying to get a time when all the different husbands are free to drop us is a headache and a half.

And this is what I usually look like after dealing with the dilema of getting where I need to do...
