Women Are Lazy Complainers

Lifestyle Relationships

Women of this age i mean.

Just couple of generations ago, women used to get up early morning, start with house cleaning, cooking and then wash all clothes “manually”, clean the dishes, cook for lunch, clean dishes again, in between breast feeding the newborns. Then every two years they gave birth to new baby. The men never did any work at home, never carried or comforted the kids.

And Now.

They have washig machines, dryers, dish washers, domestic help, the husbands help at home, take care of kids, yet they keep complaining.

The more we men do, the more they want from us.

If the trend continues, i am afraid men will be like the women of the last century.

A few generations ago, the men had no cars and instead some very slow mode of transportation to work. They worked hard all day long to provide for their families. Today, they ride in to work in their posh cars, sit in the comfort of airconditioned/properly heated offices, waste time on GS and then get a fat check at the end of the week to 'provide' for their families.

You men are such whiners.

Re: Women Are Lazy Complainers

I hear what you're saying in a way, Icon. Things are SO different today than they were in years past. Husbands used to work an 8 hour day, wives would be at home, kids were allowed to just be kids. Thats how I grew up. If you watch the move "Back to the future", you see this hysterically funny scene where the guy goes back to the 1950s and is just in shock when he goes to get gas at a gas station and a team of guys gasses up his car, washes his windsheild, checks the oil and wishes him a nice day. Another one where the clean, happy kids are all eating home-made pancakes while dad sips coffee and reads his paper. That just doesnt happen these days because life is too frenetic.

Today, husbands work 10 and 12 hour days, 6 days a week. Many wives have to work too. Kids are over-scheduled, life is beyond hectic.

I try my best never to complain. Yet its hard to live in such a fast paced world where it seems there is rarely a break, a little time to stop and smell the roses. Husbands AND wives work way too hard and its the women who are a bit more emotional and a bit more tied down in that they are so much more responsible for hearth and home kwim? Not that one works harder than the other, just maybe the wife feels it more acutely than the husband.

My suggestion? If your wife is complaining too much, take a day off and do something fun, a smell-the-roses kind of break. It can make all the difference.

All that hard work those days and walking on foot kept men in shape, now we have to go to gym, thats an extra work.

Women in old days were could burn the extra calories through breast feeding and baby growth inside their wombs, now they are becoming obese.

Re: Women Are Lazy Complainers

Generations ago those women stayed at home-- because their men were good providers...

Men of this generation can't seem to makes ends meet with out women paying the bills with them.

Now we have TV and internet to occupy us till midnight and as the result we don't get up early in the morning, now we have ready meals and take aways so why bother ourselves with cooking in the kitchen for 2 or 3 hours, now we have formula milks and bottles so no more hassle of breastfeeding, and now we just don't have the time for babies bcoz we have to make our career.

Another reason, couples prefer to live separate and far away(for several reasons) from their parents and family unlike the old days where they used to get help from the other family members in housework.

" In her book The Future of Men, Marian Salzman records that the changes appear to be having a negative effect on the male psyche, leaving modern men hesitant, disorientated and, in many cases, more than a little depressed."

Agreed....

Really what is this thread going to achieve?

Re: Women Are Lazy Complainers

More women died in childbirth, and more children died from the inability for the family to provide for them too.

What a wonderful world you're describing.

(Ah but wait, the obvious misogyny in this thread indicates that women are only of value if they're reproducing. Last I knew, we weren't incubators).

Re: Women Are Lazy Complainers

What makes you think that this is a gender issue? I think everyone these days is lazy and complains.

And yet we're really busy and exhausted.

Re: Women Are Lazy Complainers

Give me a break - household help used to be much more common in middle class homes before "modern" appliances. It wasn't considered unusual to have someone come in and do your laundry or help with the cooking - both of my parents grew up in homes with live in housekeepers, and they were both from middle income families.

Don't get me started on desi homes. My MIL was just complaining the other day about how much more difficult it is to find and keep servants than it was when she was a girl. Back in the day, apparently, servants really "belonged" to a family, and when the children were old enough, they simply went to work for the same household. She and my FIL, both middle-class, came from homes with the "full" retinue of cooks, maids, ayahs, sweepers, driver, gardener, security , and so on. She was complaining that now they only have four, and they are not dependable.

Never has a woman had to take so much responsibility of running a household onto her own shoulders. Oh, and btw, men today are soooo much weaker than women of a century ago.

Re: Women Are Lazy Complainers

A typical day:

Hubby and wife get up together.
Hubby in the shower, wife packs his lunch and makes breakfast.
Hubby leaves for work.

Wife cleans up, gets ready.
Kids wake up.
Kids get their breakfast. Not a very easy task for some moms. Feeding kids can take some serious effort.

Get kids ready.
Mom drops off kid to school, other kid tags along.

Mom gets back home.
Cooks dinner and lunch for kids.
Cleans up house.
Does laundry.
Maybe grocery shopping.
Trip to the post-office to drop off parcel.
or maybe take car to dealer for engine trouble, or oil-change.
or maybe pick up hubby's dry-cleaning.
or doc's appointment, or maybe some other errand.

Time to pick up kid from school.
Feed lunch.
Revise Qur'an lesson.
Memorize a surah.

Take kids to Qur'an class.
Come home. Get dinner ready.

Hubby home.
All have dinner.
Wife back to cleaning up.

All sit together for a while.
Kids need attention.
Put kids to sleep.

Sometimes have a freelance project or 2.
Take take of that.
Spend time with hubby.

The day ends.

On weekends, the schedule may be differennt but responsibilities are the same.

Where is the lazy part?
I fail to see.

Re: Women Are Lazy Complainers

Hubsands and wives complete each other, not compete with each other. We are each grateful for our set of responsibilities as well as each others.

Re: Women Are Lazy Complainers

Observations

you seem to be mailing way too many parcels. If it is a daily thing, u can have the postal carrrier pick up the parcels.

laundry every day- get a bigger washing machine. a few loads a week should be good enough

the car is going to the dealer for repairs too often. trade that in for a more reliable car.

how much dry cleaning does this guy require sheesh??? have him drop off his laundry to some place close to his office and pick it up weekly.

there is entirely too much cleaning up going on. morning, afternoon and evening. The thing is that if it is done daily there really is not a whole lot to clean, and if it is done 3 times a day it should be no more than 10 mins a pop.
oh and why is hubby sitting around and u are back to cleaning, tell his punk ass to help.

see I just saved you a lot of time.
