My bro-in-law took half the day off yest. My niece Ira looked sick in the morning when he went for work. When he came back and Ira was perfectly fine, he decided to tidy up the store room. As he was doing it by himself, and looked like he had everything under control, I decided to just let him be. But not my mum. More or less, the conversation went like this:
Mum: Why you don't help Abang?
Me: He never ask what...
Mum: Why you don't help Abang?
Me: He never ask what...
Mum: Then don't want to take initiative?
At night, when my sis came back, and got to know that the husband tidied up the store room, asked me the same thing my mum asked earlier. The conversation went along the same line as the one above.
It's such a classic Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus moment there! My bro-in-law was doing it by himself, didn't ask help from me, so I took it as he didn't need my help. So plain and clear. But not to my mum and sis..
Where am I heading at? I'm not really sure. I'm just pointing out that men think and do things different from women. Inevitably, this difference sometimes lead to unnecessary conflicts. And/or maybe, I should take the initiative sometimes..
