Answer 1

cause we are moms. thats what we are supposed to do..multitask.

Answer 2

Imagine you're a woman living in a village in a hunter-gatherer society, like we lived in for most of our evolution. Most of the men are off hunting or something. There are dozens of women around chatting and gossiping while doing handicrafts, picking berries, preparing food, and so forth. There are also dozens of kids wandering round, every age from toddlerers to pre-teens, some helping, some trying toi help, some just getting underfoot, and there are probably a few dogs about too. To cope well, yoiu'd have to be able to multitask.

OK, now imagine you're one of the men. A bunch of half a dozen of you are off stalking deer, about a day and a half's hike from the village. You need to keep an eye out for large dangerous animals, tree roots, and so forth, but mostly you're really focused on stalking and killing the deer that you're after. Multitasking is a lot less necessary, mostly you need focus and hunting skills an dthe ability to think in three dimensions.

In the societies that we evolved in, men and women tended to do different tasks. As a result, we are evolved to have somewhat different mental abilities. Women tend to be better at multitasking and verbal and social tasks, men tend to be better at three dimensional thinking. The differences are not huge, and there are exceptional men and women whose tallents don't fit these average trends, but the trends do exist and are readily measurable.

Answer 3

Studies show that male brains are about 10% larger than female brains. But women have more nerve cells in certain areas. Women also tend to have a larger corpus collusum. That makes women faster at transferring data between the computational, verbal left half and the intuitive, visual right half. Result: Women are more flexible and find it easier to multitask. Men are usually left-brain oriented. That often makes then better at solving abstract equations and problems. Therefore, women are prone to be more multitasking than men.

Answer 4

We women are better at multitasking because men only think with one head, and it is usually the wrong one.

Answer 5

Well since the dawn of time women have worked, cooked cleaned, cared for hubby, taken care of children and now kids are so busy that makes mom so busy---she's got to make sure suzy's made it to dance and piano lessons while katie goes to softball and marshalls at band pracitce, she has to have dinner on the table and the laundry done while maintaining her figure and social life. Women have to be good multitaskers...its expected. :) And you should know...we're just that good :) have a good afternoon!

Answer 6

That's our God given talent. Men can become multitasking if only they tried. You have to practice just like with everything else. Good luck and God Bless

Answer 7

Practice makes perfect. When you have to be a nurse, a secretary, a lawyer, a mom and the list goes on........you take what comes at you, you learn and deal with it. We don't all start out that way.

That's why I think it would be good to have a woman in office! You want things done.....we know how to git 'r done! And if we don't we're not afraid to learn to do it.

Answer 8

because if we couldn't fry the chicken, bake the biscuits, help the kids with their homework and husband find his sox's, let the dog out, and call the neighbor to take timmy to soccer practice all at the same time nothing would ever get done.

Answer 9

They aren't. That is just a broad (pardon the pun) generalization.

Answer 10

Becasue we have to pick up all the slack that you guys leave behind LOL
