This is a lot of years from this article! I'm just seeing the comments🤪 My husband had an epiphany shortly after this incident and he has been amazing since! When I wrote this we had been married for a while, and I can say we have now been married 28 years! I have never taken what he does for granted, nor thought it easy! I just wasn't getting the same respect.....he does now! I also went back to work the last 12 years and make enough for him to retire....now he can take care of the house!

While I do understand a wife’s work certainly is not sitting around all day, it’s really not that difficult. I work from home and my wife takes care of the kids and does all the other said activities and I know exactly what she does all day, I easily would trade her for real work and dealing with adults all day. Housework is boring and mindless at times but many women would be in for a wake up call if they realized their jobs and the family’s welfare was nearly solely on their shoulders. If my wife doesn’t do her “job” we have a dirty house and it’s just more work for me. If I don’t do my job, there goes everything and there won’t be a house to clean, SUV, etc. I also give my wife credit because our kids are young, when they get older than 5 I know she’ll go back to work, but the wives that carry on the same routine, they are borderline worthless.

LoL... This looks like a marriage heading for divorce. In my first relationship I tested alot of theories, and stuck by them and glad I did. I am a successful person in life and live mid class life. In my first relationship the lady wanted to get married and I tested her she was one that never wanted to work in life and be a stay at home mother. So I told her she could move in under 1 restriction, she get a part time job and pay off her debts (ALL OF THEM). I would pay for everything else in those 3 months and if she couldn't I would kick her out. Month 3 rolled along and she finally got a part time job. She lasted 2 weeks. Long story short at the end of the 3rd month I gave her a notice to surrender her credit report bills and prove she had a job. Me kicking her out giving her a week to get out was the best thing I ever did she is on the welfare system 9 years now. Current relationship 7 years 1 Child mine and the other not. No child support for the other child coming in. Own a house and pay all the bills. My partner has only worked 3 months out of 7 years, I have paid for her to go to school cost me 25k for a diploma for her. Now agreement was I ever get hurt she would work to help out the oddball of income that would be coming in, well behold 3years after she gets her diploma I get hurt (really bad). Paying to retrain myself costing me 49k (Doing Civil Engineering). I ask her to get a job. You know what she tells me? She already has a job she cooks, cleans, takes after the kids, weeds the garden, makes me coffee every morning, etc. I find it so Ironic that its actually a job, I then ask her you get paid for it? and she steams away every time. Its like I can't even bring up issues that are going on. I then show her because of me going to school we are living in a negative value making no money at all every month. I then ask her again to atleast get a part time job to balance the account out. She says I have a full time job. Funny part is I go to school yes but its part time 25hours a week. I always see her doing crafts or watching tv(got rid of cable can't afford it) She complains about it. The house is what I wouldn't call clean. Not to mentioned I am disabled in life and going to school and planin on working full time after. One weekend she did this to me what you did to your hubby but there is a big difference, your hubby is not disabled in life, I am and I still managed to get everything done on the weekend my partner decided to make me do. 2 weeks after that, I told her you ever do that again I will kick your azz on the street quicker than quick. But this whole issue of not working it doesn't help the income at all. So I have finally put my foot down to her she has xx amount of time to get a part time job atleast or she is out. I think thats the proper way to put it, let the government take care of her, in return it saves me money! I make enough money to support me and my child. I don't make enough to support an entire family and I never asked for an entire family, is why I will never get married! What do you think the outcome was? I am one that don't believe in marriage, I think its a business contract to one another and no point in doing it, if you both are not making money then no point in getting married. The way I look at it I will never get married to me seems way to many women out there leachin off of men. Mind ya there are some women that actually work. Money is needed to live and if both parties can't make there own weight then why bother with the person. A women that comes out and says thats not right on what was typed, well its true where would you be if you didn't have your hubby? (On the Streets or working or on the welfare system)

I would just like to say I am appalled... I have for the last 6 years dealt eith the notion That my wife doesn't work. I put in 65 to seventy hours a week to provide our needs.... I never have to fold sox or empty the kitty box, but I have since the age of 11 or earlier so if need be I would handle it. I have a 19 year old and a 16 year old and all of the excuses have been used as to why a "paying" job wouldn't be prudent at this time. The thought of you suggesting that you might clean his toilet with his toothbrush is the reason you might end up in several large chunks in the bottem of a great ravine

Probably not, but the point was made, non the less. I don't think my husbands job is any more challenging than the work i do at home. he has it in his head that it is, therefor i needed to level the playing field. If truth be known, the only part of the above that i don't do daily is the shopping, bathing the animals, changing sheets and weeding. the rest is daily and can take the entire day to accomplish. keeping a household, a demanding husband, and children going is not an easy job, but for some reason has become a thankless one in todays society. i was just trying to impart a little humor into my otherwise tedious day
