re: Question about relationships, economic advantage of one party, and chores

dude, you're never going to win the argument. I work my arse off all day then come home to two kids, I cook dinner and bathe the kids and put them to sleep.

My wife does not work, but does laundry, keeps the house up very well, dishes and goes to wal mart because I hate it. She also shuffles the kids around. We also spend about $500 a week in babysitters and maids.

I am the sole breadwinner. Do I want to come home and cook and mess with kids? No. but if I don't, then my wife is gonna burn out.

Is the amount of total work from each equal? Hell naw. I do the majority of work if I had to guess. But then I go fishing when I want, to concerts when I want, duck hunt when I want, buy boats when I want, etc.

Bottom line, don't get into that argument--you will never win it, no matter how smart you think you are.
