[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It should be required reading for ANYONE contemplating marriage.  
Men seem to feel entitled to maybe mow the lawn on Saturday morning then spend the rest of the weekend on the couch with a beer watching football while the wife takes care of the kids, the laundry, the meals, shopping, dishes....  The unfairness breeds resentment and that is poison to a relationship.

Man here. I'd rather do the laundry for a year, rather than mow the lawn once (I have 1/3 of an acre). This is an example of women being out of touch with reality. Mowing is hot, dirty, loud, and dangerous. And it's not just the mowing, it's the maintenance and repair of the mower.

I've been doing laundry as a 50-50 dad for nearly a decade. It's about the easiest household chore. Yes, I fold all the laundry, and iron a few things. [/quote]

Single woman who is in touch enough with reality to promise you this:

I’d rather pay $25 to get the terribly “hot dirty dangerous” job of moving my measly 1/3 acre- for all of eternity- rather than listen to this mansplain nonsense. Plus, they’re younger and hotter and now shirtless all summer.

The beauty of divorce is not having to pay you on the back and say “great job warrior!!” For something that took 2 seconds and barely any cost to outsource. [/quote]

Your reply shows how out of touch with reality you are. Three years ago my mower was broken so I hired a company to mow. It was $60 then, and it's probably $90 now. The Guatemalans who did the job were 5'4" and wore long sleeves.

Find a company that will mow my lawn for $25 in Great Falls and I will outsource.

This guy is hilarious. 
Woman here. I mow several acres a week, and maintain the mower myself. It is hot and loud, which is why I wear a hat, drink cold water and wear earphones. I also do laundry (!), take the kids around, cook, run the house and work. My husband does a ton of stuff, and we’re happily married, so this is definitely off topic.

But, fella, you need to up your game if you think mowing 1/3 an acre and tossing a few loads of laundry in is some kind of amazing contribution to the home. And then explaining how hard and dangerous it is, so you outsourced it to some Guatemalans. And then sighing how ladies don’t understand about all the work for maintaining the mower (which BROKE! 😂) Like you have a rocket ship or something. Your weekend is shot if you have to add oil, sharpen a blade or replace a spark plug? You don’t like to do it, fine. But on the very long list of things adults need to do, it is definitely minimal.
