And then I overheard them talking…
Sara and Mark were very lucky. They formed a very good group of friends, consisting of the same married couples. Everyone was good friends with each other.
The women often got together, sometimes leaving the children with the men and sometimes, on the contrary, making room for the boys to relax in the company of men. It was all somehow set up, they took turns visiting each other, socializing, and having weekends off. Few people are so lucky to organize their leisure time with friends and family.
One day Sarah and her son headed out to visit one of their friends…
The girls sat well, chatted, shared the latest news, and parted ways. At this time, while Sara was gone, the men came to visit them at Mark’s house. When Sarah returned, they were still relaxing. The music was playing loudly and they were barbecuing kebabs.
So as not to disturb the boys, Sarah hurried with her son into the house and went to put him to bed. It so happened that Mark’s conversation with the men could be clearly heard from the street and the woman heard something she did not expect at all.
They were discussing their women, complaining that they had become unattractive and boring. Tears came to Sara’s eyes. She thought that she and her friends were good wives and hostesses, and their husbands admired that. But it turned out that all was not so.
Yes, the woman acknowledged that something had changed since she gave birth. There was no time or energy left for herself. But is it impossible to understand that? So Sarah fell asleep in her son’s room, and by morning she decided not to talk to her husband and not to cook him anything to eat. Except her husband didn’t understand her resentment.
Sarah wanted to do something to spite her husband, but she had no ideas. The woman thought that if he was so smart, she would leave immediately and demand money from him for a beauty salon and new beautiful clothes. Why? According to the woman, he has to provide for her if he wants her to parade around the house like a model on the runway. Except it’s not certain that Mark will agree to finance all of this.
Do you think a woman should take care of herself after having children? Or is it enough to just be a good hostess?
