[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]90 percent of women on my block are SAHMs. My neighbor for instance has one kid at home, an executive husband and she does clean her own house and manage house and makes dinner for three every night. Except weekends.

Her husband works in an office and eats breakfast and lunch there.

So an extra chicken cutlet at dinner time and sex on his birthday is what he gets for sharing his 600k a year salary with her.

She can deal with mental load [/quote]

Exhibit A for why women are underappreciated. This woman cleans, manages a house, parents, cooks and she should be grateful for it!

Sounds like all this man has to do is go to work. [b]I'd rather be the man in this situation[/b]. And yes, I also make a good salary. [/quote]

The husband gets acknowledged with his salary and performance reviews as contributing to society and the family, but the wife gets written off as “just” needing to make an extra serving of dinner and putting out once a year. It’s absurd how little respect some men have for the work that goes into housekeeping and caregiving. No wonder some women go live their best lives as divorcees once the kids are grown.

I am a working mom with 3 kids and that means my DH has to take on a lot of household/child duties. In fact, I start work early while DH does all the breakfast, dishwasher unloading, pet feeding, getting kids to their bus stops duty in the morning. This is all before he has even logged onto begin his workday. I then handle the afternoon bus stop pickup, generally doing an activity (like playing outside with neighbors or going to the library), followed by dinner prep/overseeing any homework/packing lunches for the next day, etc. The thought of *only* having a job to worry about and coming home to a hot meal and clean house sounds SO easy. I laugh that this man actually thinks he has the harder job simply being a financial provider.  :lol: No wonder he only gets laid on his birthday, he totally takes his wife for granted! Whereas others of us outsource things like cleaning and grocery delivery because we realize how valuable those services are![/quote]
