As a mom, I have a WIDE range of responsibilities, some I expected and others I've just had to accept. But there are still some things that I refuse to do.
Expected:
Regular house hold chores (dishes, vacuuming, sweeping, laundry etc.)
Making meals
Helping with homework, packing lunches, helping out at school.
Taking care of the kids
Accepted:
Paying the bills
Taking out the trash
Fixing clothes
Driving everyone everywhere
Resolving conflict
Refuse:
Ironing Mike's shirts (I do it sometimes, but it is HIS job)
Taking the car through emissions tests or to get fixed (I do take it to get the oil changed)
Cleaning the garage
Cleaning out poopy underwear (that's right, it goes in the garbage!!)
Cleaning out moldy Tupperware (I just can't do it)
Going anywhere near canned re fried beans!!! (Mike buys them and uses them to make burritos. I can't even be in the kitchen when he opens them or I will gag)
Just to let you know, there is a Tupperware sitting on my counter with moldy re fried beans in it. It is one of my nice Tupperware containers. I wonder how long it will sit there...
Me and the kiddos at SeaWorld
(love the way Tys is posing with the spray cheese)

So true--motherhood is full of unexpected experiences! Just to let you know, I would throw away the Tupperware with moldy refried beans, even if it was my favorite and brand new . . . but I do think it's kind of fun to take the car through emissions tests :)
I buy the "take and toss" sippy cups, cuz if they get left somewhere a few days with apple juice or, worse, milk...they gotta go! I also do not love refried beans...is it a Canada girl thing? hmmm...also don't really iron.... well,you are amazing. At least everyone knows what to expect and they still love you, so you're set!
