[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just saw a social media fb post on a local moms page from a lamenting mom earnestly asking the question of how in the world moms are supposed to work 9-5, but still get kids to school by 8AM and picked up at 3PM and have time to make dinner and energy for homework help and so on and so on.

The clear answer is, of course, that they aren’t supposed to do this. In fact, most men were perfectly happy with the arrangement of division of labor where he performed the “outside” labor that secured earned income for the family and she performed the domestic labor that allowed the home and children to be cared for without outsourcing those duties and payments to someone else.
No one asked women to “do it all”—[b]and women were offended by this! [/b]
And yet, somehow about 40 years ago some so-called feminists convinced women that they were being oppressed and needed the “freedom” to go spend their days working outside the home as well.
Yay for feminism![/quote]

No, women are offended by whiny, bit-- a$$, man children who are not capable to doing housework, child care, or carrying their weight at home. I am very lucky with my DH but, then again, I did not let him off the hook and made clear he was expected to carry the load. And he does. But, his mother didn't raise a momma's boy who feigns incompetence with household matters. It all starts with the boy moms and I hope that they are teaching their boys better. Or you're going to see more girls opt out of marriage altogether. [/quote]

Yeah, well, then they shouldn’t marry them. The red flag are usually there.[/quote]
