Yeah, well they can have sex with whomever they want to before they get married too. When you get married your roles change, dontcha know.

No I dont know. I have always worked. I cant figure why suddenly someone cant put the mayo back in the fridge or get their dirty clothes in the hamper just because they married. I thought when you married you gained a life partner not an indentured servant.

Certainly the case for many, sadly not for all.

I don't really get why one chore has to be one person's responsibility. Why not just do it when it needs to be done?

When I was a kid, I remember my mom making trash my brother's responsibility. She would cram and stuff trash into that can even when it was full to the top. Instead of just taking it out when it was full, she used extra energy to try to get every little thing she could in there and just let it pile up until my brother got home. Really made no sense to me.

If there are dishes in the sink, I will wash them.
If the trash needs to go out, I will take it.
If the bathroom needs to be cleaned, I'll scrub it.

I would hope he would do the same instead of ignoring it and thinking "that's her job."

Tell your husband I want kids in the future but not now, so quit acting like one and get off your lazy duff and help me out. He has one mama, you ain't her replacement.

CALLING for help is too expensive.

1) I eat fast food.

2) I can always buy new clothes at Goodwill instead of doing laundry.

Hi Raena77,

You wouldn't happen to be in the revenue stream of the divorce industry?

Do you get out to the strip malls much? Look for cleaners.
