Well, good or bad - I've been taking care of myself for a few decades now.
I read on another thread someone saying they don't know anything about taking care of themselves - I think that is a bad thing. I'm all for submission and the man being the leader in the home, but anything can happen and I think it's important that woman know what's going on so that they are able to step in case of an illness or even being widowed.
I'm sure I got my survival skills from my Mother. My dad owned his own businesses and she helped him and took care of all the household, so that's all I knew. I miss my mom at times like this -- she would love to have come helped me set up the kitchen, where best to hang pictures, iron the bedskirts and bring food - lol!
