Pay someone to clean the house out of the money you'll save on handbags.

So is everyone else.


Everyone? Everyone would be emotionally invested in my relationship to the point of caring? Weird.

Anyway, op, you don’t sound invested in your own family. I agree with pp’s analogy to a bank.

Perhaps she's doing this because her husband never cleans. Imagine that.

Regardless of his slob quotient, it is not an appropriate or adult way to handle conflict.

I don't think there is any division of labor. She probably does everything.

If it is your wife and toddler on their own, that isn't much of a vacation?

Was she joking as in..she better come home to a clean house?

Do you both work? Do you share finances?


They went to Disney world. It's just my toddler and my wife. I did not want to take off for a week so I can sweat to death in Orlando. My wife used her parents timeshare in FL.


Your problem is that you aren’t invested in your family. You skipped out on a vacation for your child because of sweat? Really? I’m guessing you’re one of those guys who don’t contribute anything to the family besides money. If you insist on only being a bank, don’t be surprised when your wife treats you like a bank.



OMG this! My DH is this.
