(It's not the not wanting to do it that's objectionable, it's the insinuation that someone else SHOULD have to.) My version is (and I try to keep this in my head): "I have better things to do with my life (MY LIFE) than ......" Good point, Erin.

I think it encompasses the same emotions without insinuating someone else should have to deal with something...if I don't want to chances are nobody else wants to deal with it either.

I shouldn't have to deal with driving around the school parking lot for 30 minutes trying to find a parking space because there is not faculty parking. I shouldn't have to deal with students who spend 10 minutes writing a paper that will take me 20 minutes to grade only to fail them at the end of class. I shouldn't have to deal with the fact that my type A slightly OCD child falls into tears if anything remotely resembling a spider web is near her or her cup is on the wrong side of her plate. But mainly, I'm glad that at the end of the day I can complain about these unreasonable demands with a man who loves, respects and cherishes me.

I feel like this all the time - I shouldn't have to deal with most of the things I do. I guess I just do it because I love my kids. Sorry about the tub-poop thing.
