And your brothers' well-meaning behind what they said. I mow my own lawn because my husband is not alive to do it for me.(and in the last such season he was too weak to anyway) I do all the "man jobs" that I can and am thankful that I have the ability. If it is something I can't do, there are people I can ask for help. Yes, there are some things I've learned to do since my husband's death, and likely there will be more. And when my dad has helped me with some, he always tries to make it so I can learn how to do it myself, as he's already passed the average life expectancy for men. <br /> Keep it all in balance, right? After all, there ARE many more single women now; be it widowed like me, never-married, divorced, and my such friends, we've all learned ways to deal with "man-jobs" that need to be done, and done right away.
