Why do you girls think your man is going to be a slave driver... I mean wake up before him and iron his shirt, WHAT? My husband wakes up at 6:45, he has never expected me to make him breakfast or fix his clothes. IF he needed anything done he does it himself or asks me to do it on the weekend.
Since when did housework become rocket science? No, compared to a long frustrating commute, having to leave early in the morning in cold, nasty weather, dealing with a stupid boss and annoying clients, home life is a peace of cake unless you have monster in laws or kids.
If you work full time and/or have kids to take care of, then i understand the frustration..but to say that housework is sooo much harder than paid werk..erm. no. Do the dishes get in the way of you going shopping? is that it? (coz that's what annoys me..gr)
Don't be surprised at 1- you have a good husband that appreciates you. I have actually seen it happen w/ some relatives/friends. Kids saying this to their moms. husbands saying it to their wives. It may have been the type of personality of the wives- maybe they gave too much or were pushovers.
I am not arguing about the ease or difficulty of the work. I;m just saying things should not be so black and white.
