I was trying to stay out of this one and then I got masochistic and read it. I really don't care who pumps the gas as long as the arrangement makes sense to the people pulling up at the pumps.
In Oregon, we don't get to pump our own gas so it's not an issue. But we both, and now our daughter too, check the fluids, and clean the windows. Vacationing in other states you might as well toss a coin when you see us pull up to the pumps. Who pumps usually has more to do with who really needs to get to the potty than anything else. When I'm dressed to the nines, he does all the boy stuff.
My step-father and mother used to annoy the hell out of me because they took the fact that I do most of the repair and renovation work around the house as some kind of failing on my husband's part. The fact that I like doing it and he doesn't didn't seem to resonate. I drag him into the project when I need some muscle. He also runs and gets stuff. They've gotten over it.
It works for us. And it really isn't anyone elses business.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
