Jealousy What?
Hi, Chrys,
I sense the comparison through the years, and the strength and self-esteem coming to terms with all of it. Amen!
Thank you!

yes coming to terms is correct and thank you for reading
I had to read...
a couple of times to make sense of the part where she ran her own business, because it was out of sequence, but once I got where the "beautiful one" was, then I got it. Yup, coming to terms with expectations. Jealousy is a hard topic. Good job. ~ Geez.

thank you it was written in retrospect through the eyes of the one that was told they would be the housewife and no not the mother but the father
and this is a true story but yes there was jealousy ,hurt and anger as good was never good enough no matter what they did
Hi Chrys
I too had to read this a couple of time to sort out the genders till i figured it out....good work in sync with the prompt for the workshop..
be well..

thanks for the read isn't it strange how it turns out that the men that read this found it difficult to sort out not getting on any gender just an unusual observation
