I Told You To…

I told you to take care of my children for me;

Not win them over 
I told you to cook in my kitchen;

Not develop recipes in it
I told you to wash my husband’s cloths for me;

Not become his personal stylist 
I told you to take my children to school;

Not give them informal education and life lessons
I told you to clean my house;

Not rid my house of me
I told you to serve my family food;

Not necessarily contribute in putting food on the table.
I told you to go to the market for me;

Not market yourself to my husband.
I told you take care of my family;

But I didn’t know care had to be taken concerning you. 

I'd love to hear your thoughts!
