Crazy. You girls carry so much stuff in your bags! I try to make mine as light as possible: usually contain only a wallet, a phone, a handcream, and a chapstick.
One time, me and my bf (now husband) went to 睇屋, my bf's parents were already
there.
Me and my bf was in my home and he asked me to drive since he was tired.
As usual, when I drive, I usually put my handbag on the passenger seat,
which he was siting. So he very 順手to help me to take the handbag. Once
we were there and got off the car, he was still helping me to carry the
handbag and went into the house, which was only steps away.
Then, after my bf was home, his dad scold him like crazy, said why you help her
to carry the handbag, there is no 男人尊嚴. He said no one in Vancouver did that. When I knew this, i was totally
pissed off.
I didn't really ask him to help me, he was just 順手 and I also didn't ask
him to carry the handbag for me in public area, like mall. I also believe
carry handbag doesn't mean no no 男人尊嚴. He scold his son like this is
more no 男人尊嚴. His dad also has double standard, my bf sister's bf did
so many things, which is more no 男人尊嚴.
Nowadays, my husband always help me to carry handbag because I always carry
my son around, which I am not able to carry my handbag. I also want to
show his parents that he is the one who willing to do it for me, not I ask
for.
I only give it to him to hold if I am...
1) going to the washroom not close by and don't feel safe
2) going for a medical exam (ultrasound, x-ray, blood test)
but usually on situations that I need to take my jacket off too..so he can cover my bag with a jacket
usually now, he just carries the diaper bag(s)..haha
