Quote From: lululaurenWhen someone is told they are worthless and constantly made to feel that everything they do is never enough... then there is no desire get anything done.
I don't mean to sound rude, but I get sick of women who act high and mighty because they can keep everything caught up with a house that is "twice as big." Some women don't WANT to be stuck in the house all day.
I get sick of women who call themselves feminists but refuse to have any respect for work done in the home, strictly because it has traditional been done by women. Amy needs to respect herself and the work she has agreed to do. She needs to treat her duties in the home with the same serioussness that she would if she had a job outside the home. I pointed out what I do, not to brag but to refute her claim that she doesn't have time to do it all. I don't think I'm superior at all, I know women who do everything I do, have houses twice as big as mine and twice as many children as I do and still manage to do it all. I'm using myself and the size of my house as an example to show that If I can do it, she can do it.
I know Greg was being a jerk when he got angry-- he admitted as much. What I mean by defending him is that I think he has every right to expect a clean home, meals and coffee on time and clean clothing. At one time my husband was between jobs and I worked outside the home. He kept the house clean and had dinner on the table when I got home. It is not a gender issue it is a division of labor issue. Greg does his part by working a full time job. Amy isn't doing her part. it's that simple.
If Amy doesn't want to be a housewife she should get a job.
