Equality of the sexes: is there such a thing?

sacrifices a woman makes to have a baby:

• suffers from morning/night sickness/nausea/poor appetite during first trimester
• suffers from heartburn/bad acid reflux during last trimester
• suffers from backache, massive water retention, sleepless nights becuz of the heavy, growing belly
• suffers from becoming damn FAT and ugly
• suffers from hairloss
• endures disfiguring of the tummy (linea nigra & stretchmarks)
• go through labour pains (be it natural or c-section)
• suffers the AFTERMATH and excruciating labour pains
• suffers from the one month of confinement with rubbish rules
• suffers from sore/cracked/bleeding nipples
• suffers from piercing pain when baby latches on despite the condition above
• suffers from having to pump nonstop round the clock just to feed breast milk to baby
• suffers from post-natal blues/hormonal changes/mood swings/depression from sleepless nights (again) and a screaming baby

sacrifices a man have to make to have a baby:

*long pause*

*longer pause*

it will only make me scream murder.

well to be fair, he HAS done his part, he's..

• changed diapers
• bathed baby
• cup/bottlefed baby
• burped baby
• carried and soothed baby, all very much like a PRO
• and had his fair share of sleepless nights

do i see any light at the end of this tunnel? everyday's been the same, old cycle..
feed baby
burp baby
diaper change baby
soothe baby
feed baby
burp baby
diaper change baby..

u get the idea..

sometimes all it takes is for her to smile... and as cliche as it may sound.. it really makes everything all worthwhile...
