A while back there was a thread asking stuff your wife does that annoys you. I was quite outspoken complaining about my wife. Maybe I should have watched this first, and thanked her instead. Link - ( New Window )
Watching the baby was something that I could never have done
as much as my wife, especially when he was a newborn. I just had to watch him two days in a row and I was more tired doing that than my actual job. He's 17 months now so it's easier but I wouldn't be able to do it every day like my wife does for three weeks in the summer.
Especially the girl I'm with now... I'm gonna be 29 in a couple of weeks and I'm starting to wonder how the Hell we're gonna end up looking after a kid if we end up together, long term. We both work 50+ hours a week and travel often.
I want to be as hands on as possible and don't want a nanny raising my children some day (if I'm lucky enough to afford one).
Any suggestion that it is undermines the real value of parenting. Those women should go get a job and hire a nanny to provide the nuturing and compassion that they are incapable of.
Stay at home/divorced moms are the WORST with seemingly doing nothing but spending all day every day sharing/posting inane crap on FB. I have the status feed of a ton of otherwise nice women I know blocked on my page because it's nonstop.

Nice video.
maybe she's busting her butt now so that she can be more settled and ready for motherhood in a couple/few years; or her priorities may change too. if it's something you are both committed to, you will work it out.
we wished for the days of diaper bags and formula. Hormonal Teenage boys, especially 3 of them at the same time is something that you have to live through to believe...
To this day,

I don't know how couples who both work full time can raise children. God bless them.
That's why I married a single mom who'd already raised a little girl (until 10 years old) admirably and who furthermore was an elementary school teacher - ie, professionally trained to "raise" children. And she's been great at it.
Still, our younger daughter (we have two, just over a year apart) is a handful in a few ways. Primarily, it's that she doesn't LIKE to study or even read, and is very adamant when she wants things. Not that she gets those things/privileges, we are good and typically united setting limits. We are not soft. Still it's a lot of work saying "no" over and over.
I did what I could, and certainly selfishly what I "wanted" to do, like more than half the cooking. But then I'm better at it...
Bitches still be crazy though!
My wife's great; 26 years and counting. She's a MUCH better wife than I am a husband.
Yay women! Yay bullshit gender roles!
Inorite?

Nice video.
Then what would I do at work?
Its for MOTHERS DAY. Good grief.

You know who is not posting this silly video, the single mom who busts her ass to provide for her kids while still maintaining a home.

see, when a woman does that, it's because evil companies pay women less than men.....
