is work all that matters to you ppl?? what about the ppl who work from home and make good money? are they just as evil?? work does NOT determine a persons character. some of the hardest working ppl i have known are the biggest assholes on this planet. there IS more to life than going to work everyday.
Hyperbole much? Not one person here said work is the only thing that matters. Does this guy work at home and make good money? Since he's thankful for everything his wife does it appears he doesn't. He admits he's not good at cooking and cleaning but his wife often works 55 hours a week so who's doing the housecleaning? If he's not doing home chores, someone has to be, which means his wife (who he wants to thank...just not with cooking and cleaning) has to. So, whether or not there is more to life than work, his poor wife can't afford the luxury. Someone has to pay the bills, how would you suggest they do that? I bet she'd like to know so she's not exhausted all the time.
I didn't "work" while my kids were growing up. I homeschooled them but since I was home, it was also my job to keep the house clean, cook, etc. Since this is a partnership why shouldn't my husband (or his wife) expect me to do my part? There were times when he had to work two jobs (which is akin her 55 hours) so I could be home with our boys. Even if he does work, he obviously doesn't work 55 hours so it makes sense that he should do the majority of the household chores. How "good" do you have to be to dust, vac, mop, put dishes in the dishwasher or wash them by hand, wipe counter tops, swish a brush around a toilet, do some laundry, etc. For someone whose so concerned about work not being important, you sure seem to think it's okay for this man's wife to have very little down time.
Now I do work at home. I raise chickens and sell their eggs. It's hard work and I love it, but it won't pay all the bills so my husband still has to work. In my spare time I make jewelry, but that's after I do the days chores. Like his wife, my husband works very hard, he should at least expect a clean home and a good meal when he's here. I can see why you have so many bitch slaps, your argument is ridiculous and doesn't address the issues this guy has.
