Comments on: The Housewife Job Description http://www.wifeadvice.com/2008/02/the-housewife-job-description/ Funny marriage stories from a clueless husband and his patient wife Sat, 04 Feb 2012 04:15:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.5 By: Void http://www.wifeadvice.com/2008/02/the-housewife-job-description/comment-page-1/#comment-3762 Void Sun, 04 Dec 2011 02:36:33 +0000 http://images.wifeadvice.com/blog/?p=186#comment-3762 I agree with Veronica! This generation (my generation 20 -30) is lazy! They can't handle what our mothers, fathers, grands and ancestors went through so we don't have to work so hard. Nor do they appreciate it. The description for this job applies for men and women. Relationships are a partnership. No one side should have to feel like they are doing more than the other. True love does everything in its power to keep peace, maintain joy, and assist in any way possible. Therefore, going back to this generation is LAZY! I can say that b/c I'm a part of this generation, but strive to not be lazy. Signed, Husband, Father, Provider, Protector, Lover, Friend for my family of a Domestic Engineer, son, and baby on the way. I agree with Veronica! This generation (my generation 20 -30) is lazy!

This is the 21st century, and I feel that women are working outside the home nowadays, and that ALL women should be encouraged, rather allowed, to work outside the home. I have seen them working in grocery stores, banks, restaurants, libraries, etc. To all the working women out there, I have one thing to say -- keep the faith and keep up the good work! Oh come on!

Childcare, then household and husband care. What about inlaws? and being a nurse. what about nursing the baby... and the forcing of husband to the doctor. The family socialization. Xbox limitations. And being mean Mommy or sexy mother. To be able to switch from mom, to wife, to friend, and still hold on to some shread of who you once were. FML. til death due you part. It’s 3 fulltime positions.

I work as an accountant and have three kids under the age of five. I still do most of the work around the house because I want to and I love my family. My husband tends to do the outside work. When he was deployed to Iraq, I did all the work. It is not hard to maintain a household, take care of children, and have a full time job. people are just lazy.

Typo there. It's that I told her I loved her every day and that I told her she was beautiful ten times a day. Also, about male duties to wife and children. Pretty generic stuff. Supply home, care, etc. The usual. Also, if you pay attention: MEN pay allimoney, child support more often, etc. At the end of a marriage, women and children LEGALLY still the responsibility of the man... the female can re-marry and have additional support that way....men? No, this doesn't often happen for them. AWK. Typo there. It’s that I told her I loved her every day and that I told her she was beautiful ten times a day.

The nicest nurse I ever knew was a guy, the best fight I ever got into was with a girl in martial arts class, the worst people I have ever known were females, the biggest USER in my life was my wife-to-be who cheated and lied and I told her that I loved her EVERY day, told her that I loved her ten times a day, bought her flowers every month without reason, worked my butt off, cleaned the house because she was lazy... the LAZIEST person I ever knew was a guy,the most bodily UNCLEAN person I ever met was a girl, and my friend with the most pimped-out racing car who won all the races and got all the babes was a FEMALE... POINT? Gender roles are dead. We may not have gender equality yet, but things have gotten better and in some situations the inequality has shifted to men. I was raised in a mostly-female family, all power taken by them, and they were the most sexist PEOPLE I have ever known. I grew up being told, eventually believing, that I was worthless because I'm a man. That the best I would ever amount to was homeless, worthless, or perhaps in prison...where "all men belong".... I dated a girl for almost 6 years, I entered her life when her son was three months old... I took him into my heart as MY son....5 years later, she started being different... I found out she was cheating, lying, keeping me around for the money... In four years, she never once fed her child, clothed him, bathed him, or anything. She sent him to live with her grandmother.... I haven't been allowed to see him in almost two years now....all because I stood up for myself, told her to stop treating me like crap. I had tried to get her to sign the adoption papers for three years.... I still have his pictures up... I still cry when my heart misses him... We are PEOPLE with genders.... not genders. I am a man. I can change the brakes on my car, tires, oil change, and build stuff with tools.... I can also crochet, cook, clean, and love my son with all my heart and want to die without him in my life.

I didn't choose to be a housewife I have a controlling husband who runs a cabinet/ interior trim business and he fixes Nothing in our home unless it benefits him. I am going on17 years of marriage and every week for the last 16 I have asked myself if I made the biggest mistake in my lifetime being tempted by the cleaner cut guy who hates his own mother and is a bastard never meeting or knowing his real father. I have endured a lot of mental abuse, and some physical but yet here I stay. I do not attend church, but that doesn't mean I do not believe in higher beings. Most of the time I feel the bible was a book written by man with ridiculous rules upon women. Wow I was told last night I’m a terrible housewife.

Men know exactly what we do, why do you think they marry us? I gave up a county job to marry and have four children whilst supporting my husbands military career. Guess what he couldnt take it when the going got rough, cheated on me with my now EX best friend and dumped me when he was done with me. Not only leaving me destroying my childrens lives in the process and thinking nothing of it. when it came time to go to court he 'bought' my kids with money and cars and I got no military retirement whatsoever and basically left in the gutter. He could of course afford an attorney who lied, cheated and stole from me. He got a judge in a county he did not live in and the judge allowed that so did the attorney obviously. Later I found out the judge and his attorney played golf together. So now in order to live I have to live with a man I dont love, who broke my tailbone because he thought he was being funny, took my quality of life away and is a friggin control freak and sneaky and vindictive to boot because I cant afford to live alone. Compensation people? I got nothing of the sort. Who wants to take my place?? Stop the griping and for heaven sakes, stop the stupid justifying of what we do and are capable of doing. WOMEN RULE, that is why GOD made us smarter, emotionally stronger, and able to procreate, because men cant do it. They are good for two things, money and sex and neither is that good whent he love, compassion, willingness to share and be a real man and father is absent. Come on ladies...get real here!!!
