First, we have a gate that we have to slide close and lock after work every day. The woman that was working with me has severe arthiritis in her hands, and is 60 something years old, and was offended that I tried to help her slide the gate shut. She called a man over to help her so that I wouldn't. Second, I was at my parent's house the other day, and they were cleaning, so I started picking up the living room. I went to slide the chairs forward and my dad sort of freaked out, and wouldn't let me slide them the two feet to vacuum behind them. I am trying not to be offended, because I know their intent is to protect my health, and that of my little one's. But I am pregnant, not broken. Rant over.
