since boys are much stronger, and they can help with household work more.. I can just replace my dad for the meantime whenever he is out working or with my grandparent's house. and it would have made life easier if I was a boy who can also do hard jobs and fix stuff in the house.. Have you ever wished you were the opposite gender?

You should control your spending of money and think of the future- you can tell your husband to think of your kids, if you have them, or the ones you will have someday . You should definitely save up and my dad did some of the fixing in the house to save money too.

What does gender have to do with doing things?? Men come in all sizes. The small men get things done just like the big men. When one does not have brawn, one must rely on Brains. Go to the library. There are a million fix it books that can teach you everything you need to know. Will is 90 percent of everything. Hmmmm?? I know a lady who fixes jet engines on airplanes for a living. I bet she does her own repairs at the house. You can too.

I wish this everytime I have to mow the lawn and do the gardening, I am just not strong enough to pull some of the weeds up, last week I learnt how to use a drill because I got tired of waiting for a man to do some fixing for me, so women can learn a few things...

Yes, I agree... although we may not be as strong as men, we can still find a way to do our job. I even wanted an older brother before that can help me with heavy chores.. well, I still do.

you don't need to be a boy to do those stuffs. It's just the mindset you have. If you wanted to help others you have to be a boy, you just need to help with your own efforts.

Yes me too. There's always this thing inside me that envies the opposite of us because there are things that they can do which I think are special but I cannot do. Probably we should just think that there are also things that we can do that they cannot and they are also envious of us because of those things.

I used to be curious and wondered what it would be like to be a boy. Then I had a few relationships with them and lost my curiousity completely. I had known afew good ones like my granddad and my dad but then in my generation they became sorta of jerky and idiotic. Just a stage!

I never wished I was from the opposite gender. While it is true that men are stronger, it is also true that we can do almost anything they can do and a few others too. We can fix everything in the house. I am 66 and mow the garden and plant my flowers and veggies. When I invited my friends for a painting job at my house, most of it was done women. You just have to learn how to do it.

Well yes not only cuz it seem interesting , but girls have stronger mental health , and well i get sick a lot . But well beign a boy does not mean you are going to be stronger , you can find tons of girls doing things man do but well then you are not ow they call it "girly" . I do know girls that are stronger then boys . But welll you cant have it all :P

sometime I think so, become the boy will made my life easier.I don't have to learn how to use make up -I really not good in how to use make up, but sometime situation ask me to have to use make up-, I'm not what afraid of what people talking about when I wake up late or can't cook as well, I don't have to be afraid go everywhere I wanna be -my parent is very afraid when I'm out of town since I'm the girl, and the most important thing is that I don't have to young married as the myhte that girl should be married before they reach 25-30 years old.it's people perception that made me out of my mind...

Me too. I really wish to be a boy sometimes. Not because of the physical things like being strong. I believe that every person can be strong, but women needs to exert more effort because they were not born as strong as men. The reason why I want to be a boy is because I think that they are very blessed that they don't have to experience having a period every single month. I have a severe pain in my stomach whenever I have my period, that I always want to puke. Whenever I feel that much pain, I always think that it was better for me if I were born as a guy. Especially if I think that, "if it's this much pain during my period, what more during pregnancy?".

Yup I did wished the same thing before. Coz I feel that guys are physically stronger than ladies. And when I was in highschool I am thinking I was a guy, who can just court girls. Unlike girls like us who has to wait (traditionally) for any guy to court us.

well, let's just say i'm one of those people who, when they were young(about 5 years old) crying because she's not a boy. back then, i was so scared of becoming pregnant and giving birth. I cried about it. now, i sometimes wish i was a boy. i'm no lesbian though. I feel ya, lady. there was a time when i wanted to be a man, stronger and more capable of physical work to be able to help my dad around the house. then i also want a guy's easy independence when he wants to go out with his friends even late at night and etc.

Dear writer, I wished sometime to be a girl, specially about the fact that i don't need to pay in bars, pubs, free entrance etc. And that i don't need to initiate in telling my feelings to someone that i live :). It is good to be girl sometimes.
