[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gay Stay at Home Dad here and I don't even know how to turn our washing machine on.  It is not my job to clean the house - I am at home with and for my kids.  Yes, my husband agrees.

No, no one has to "break it down or me".   [/quote]

What is this world coming to? All about the kids all the time. No wonder they break down when they get to college and have to function on their own. Clean your damn house you lazy indulgent idiots! There are worse things for a child not than not being focused upon 24 hours a day. They might actually learn how to cook and clean! I'm sure I would have loved it at the time but thank goodness my mother didn't feel it was her duty to provide constant entertainment, enrichment, stimulation, etc for me. [/quote]

Yeah, I have tried to get my nine-month-old to vacuum but she really sucks at it.  And my three year old can't even make scrambled eggs without burning himself.

Shut up, PP, and go teach your newborn how to scrub a toilet.  [/quote]

This may shock you but kids don't stay little forever. I have no infant to teach how to scrub a toilet. But my 4 year old does know how to make scrambled eggs, though I do make sure she doesn't get burnt. See, I can supervise and spent quality time with my kids AND get household tasks done. Shocking, I know.[/quote]

NP here but I have no intention of staying home when my kids get older.  I loved working and don't even like cleaning.  What is wrong with outsourcing cleaning if you don't like it?  I have no clue why you are so stunningly defensive, PP.  [/quote]
