I got this in an email and I thought it was so funny!  Even though my husband is a great dad and husband, he will be the first to tell you how hard it is to take care of the kids by yourself.  He often tells me "I don't know how you get anything done!"  You just have to appreciate how much work it is to be a mom sometimes!
THE NEXT SURVIVOR SERIES 
Six married men will be dropped on an island with one car and 
3 kids each for six weeks. 
Each kid will play 
two sports 
and either take music 
or dance classes. 
There is no fast food. 
Each man must 
take care of his 3 kids; 
keep his assigned house clean, 
correct all homework, 
and complete science projects, 
cook, do laundry, 
and pay a list of 'pretend' bills 
with not enough money... 
In addition, each man 
will have to budget in money 
for groceries each week. 
Each man 
must remember the birthdays 
of all their friends and relatives, 
and send cards out 
on time--no emailing. 
Each man must also 
take each child to a doctor's appointment, 
a dentist appointment 
and a haircut appointment. 
He must make 
one unscheduled and inconvenient 
visit per child 
to the Urgent Care. 
He must also 
make cookies or cupcakes 
for a social function. 
Each man will be responsible for 
decorating his own assigned house, 
planting flowers outside 
and keeping it presentable 
at all times. 
The men will only 
have access to television 
when the kids are asleep 
and all chores are done. 
The men must 
shave their legs, 
wear makeup daily, 
adorn himself with jewelry, 
wear uncomfortable yet stylish shoes, 
keep fingernails polished 
and eyebrows groomed. 
During one of the six weeks, 
the men will have to endure severeabdominal cramps, back aches, 
and have extreme, unexplained mood swings but never once complain or 
slow down from other duties. 
They must attend 
weekly school meetings, 
church, and find time 
at least once to spend the afternoon 
at the park or a similar setting. 
They will need to 
read a book to the kids 
each night and in the morning, 
feed them, dress them, 
brush their teeth and 
comb their hair by 7:00 am . 
A test will be given at the end of the six weeks, and each father will be required to know all of the following information: 
each child's birthday, 
height, weight,
shoe size, clothes size 
and doctor's name. 
Also the child's weight at birth, 
length, time of birth, 
and length of labor, 
each child's favorite color, 
middle name, 
favorite snack, 
favorite song, 
favorite drink, 
favorite toy, 
biggest fear and 
what they want to be when they grow up. 
The kids vote them off the island 
based on performance. 
The last man wins only if...
he still has enough energy 
to be intimate with his spouse 
at a moment's notice. 
If the last man does win, 
he can play the game over and over 
and over again for the next 18-25 years 
eventually earning the right 
To be called Mother!

So funny- and true! We women are amazing creatures! Jason made comment to me that he saw you at the store with one babe in arms, the other in a packed shopping cart. He appreciated how much work it was for you.
This made me laugh so hard. Wouldn't it be awesome if this could really happen?? Then maybe they would appreiciate everything that we do. We can only dream, right!!
Oh man that is seriously funny...and true!! I told Brady the other day that men who are "stay home dads" take about 10 years off their life cause they just aren't cut out for the mommy job. Then as he was trying to calm down our screaming baby he handed him back to me and said "here take him...this is taking years off my life!" Lovely hu?!
Oh my goodness, I was laughing so hard when I read this email from you! That would be the top show on TV for sure! I think every mom would watch that and laugh SO hard. Well they would probably have to DVR it because they would have to watch it really late when the kids were asleep! :)
I love this! I have yet to be a mother but I totally appreciate this for my own mother!
That's great! It would be awesome if that would really happen. Gotta love all the stuff we get to do!
