[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless the husband is rich. Women do most of the unpaid and unnoticed domestic labor in the home. They use their body to create babies and then do most of the childcare. If the husband isn’t rich, what does he bring to the table? [/quote] Another post from The Coven of Bitter Divorcees.[/quote] +1 There's a reason why guys never date American women when there are other options available. So frumpy and horrible attitudes.[/quote] Honestly, these threads make me worry for my son. I hope that he does not marry a typical DC metro woman bc the attitudes are just awful. I often wonder if leaving this area and returning to my home state would be better for the kids future prospects. Everyone is just so miserable here. [/quote] I also have a son for some reason he can’t learn to put away his dishes or make his bed despite my patient reminders. I worry for his future kids and wife and will be happy if some girl agrees to take him on with all these man child qualities. I could not do my job as a mother, therapists couldn’t do it, and I don’t know why men just fail in modern society [/quote] Boy mom here, same problem. I beg him constantly and the most I have accomplished is dishes in the washer if I give him daily reminders and tell him to do it. I stopped cleaning his room and now it is a pigsty.[/quote] ?? I have multiple boys, and I don't have this problem at all. First, I'm not "begging" him to do anything. The dishes go in the washer, and that's that. Same with the room. The rule is that it has to be cleaned. Pigsty isn't an option.[/quote] +100. My Indian grandmother raised 8 boys and 2 girls in a tiny village house. My dad and his 7 brothers all learned how to cook, clean, do laundry, as well as get the great grades, etc that allowed them to emigrate to wherever they wanted. This idea that boys can't be taught how to do domestic chores and take responsibility for household work is a bunch of nonsense.[/quote] It is lazy parenting. I see it all the time. I have friends who throw their hands up and say, "they just don't list to me" when mom never actually tries. She'll tell her kids to do something but then if they don't listen after the 2nd time, walk away. It's the weirdest thing to me. She'll ask her kids to put away the phone but when they don't she'll just say, oh well. Dude, you take the phone from them, lock it away, stand them up, and tell them that they have to do chores. Parents are just so lazy. [/quote] Believe me it’s not. I even had a safe to lock down his cell phone it didn’t help beside causing the worst tantrums with police being called home over limiting access to electronics [/quote]
