Wives, do you ever change the oil and filter on your cars or help with home repairs?
Never married but I used to before I developed arthritis, depending upon where I lived. In my 20’s and 30’s, I lived on a farm in the upstairs apartment. There was a garage for that very purpose, ramps, a scooter, rags, tools, a place to dispose of the dirty oil, so yes, I bought crates of oil, filters, etc. and did it myself. I learned from watching and later helping my Dad.
I’ve done house painting, in and out, cleaned gutters, laid roofing, tore down and dismantled a chicken coop but left it to the men and boys to break up the concrete floor with sledge hammers. I did a little but it was too bone jarring for me. I didn’t make much progress, either. Some chores are really not for the ladies. If I HAD to do it, sure, it would’ve taken a month and another month of chiropractor appointments and a month of complete bed rest!
