This is my husband perfectly stated. Especially the last part. I truly believe he has made a calculated choice that he doesn’t have to uphold his end of things because I don’t want to put my kids through a divorce. He is probably right. |
Oink oink |
Blame blame blame. Blame anyone but the actual adult not pulling their own weight. |
Yes! Also the inequity bugged me less when my kids were super little. I was plagued with mom guilt for working and felt like I had to make every precious second with them count. After eight years of that though, I could use a break!!!!! |
Blame anyone but yourself for not exercising any agency in your own life. How’s that working out for you? |
Hope my girls choose not to have kids. They be better off if they want children to be single parents |
I must have a super-sensitive "picker" and I knew from very early on that I could not have kids unless the man would be a totally equal partner. And in my GenX cohort, the above bolded describes the guys to a T--they talk a good game but don't follow through. It was pretty easy to spot IF you were looking for it. So...I didn't get married or have kids. |
Pick better is a stupid argument because it assumes there are two boxes of potential husbands of equal size - one full of egalitarian men and one full of d bags. In real life most people Who hold out for the egalitarian guy probably don’t get one. |
So men get happiness and purpose and women get one or the other? Men get to be an ambassador and a father of six and women get to load the dishwasher even though they got better grades and probably actually wrote their dumb husbands dissertation? Yeah that sounds fair. Biology is destiny and all that. Good luck dudes. Keep insisting that women get nothing but to support your career and you might end up alone. |
Sorry dude, you don’t get off the hook that easily. Time to man up. |
Eh! Wrong answer, Hans! I’m a happily married woman. |
Look I’m not sure what your agenda is here. This clearly isn’t the thread for you since you and your husband are both perfect. Maybe ask yourself what your reason is for hanging out here smugly and $hitting on people? |
I don’t care for misandry any more than I care for misogyny. |
I don't think there is an agenda. She's clearly far from happy. |
Says the woman complaining about her husband incessantly on an anonymous mommy message board. I’m incredibly happy, but sometimes I DO get bored with all the free time I have not nagging my husband to do pointless busywork or complaining about how it’s SO EMOTIONALLY DIFFICULT to fill out summer camp registration forms once a year. I admit that arguing with dramatic complainers like you ladies is not the most productive hobby, however, I’m just human and I get that dopamine spike reading all your BS. But I will leave y’all to your victim Olympics now. Good luck in your efforts to change other people! |
