Why do men have to be the ones to work hard and women get to sit at home?

[deandre09]

What I never understood was the man is supposed to go to work to provide for his family. But yet I find it funny that men bust there’re ass everyday just too come home to a snob everyday. I don’t think it’s fair how I have to go to work everyday and bust my behind just so she can sit at home and be “taken care of”. Which basically that’s called being a leach. These women ain’t finna take care of no grown man so why should I take care of a grown woman? Children I understand because they can’t take care of themselves but I’m not taking care of an adult

Then choose a better woman? there are plenty of women out there that work. My self as an example. I work 14 hours a day 4-5 days a week as the shift manager of a machine shop that I spent 14 years busting my ass ( and for the longest time as the only woman at this place) to get the respect skills and recognition to be promoted to this position. I make about 40k a year more than my husband. I have offered to let him be a stay at home dad. Which would be great! but even though I work longer hours I make more money. I still wash the laundry cook dinner clean the house help the kids with their home work. He cuts the grass fixs the cars rakes the leaves. if one person does all the work in a relationship male or female then they have a shit partner. if you are such a hard worker then find a woman that works equally hard. If not as an actual worker than as a home maker. But make no mistake being a lazy leaching ass hole is not unique to women. Hell half my guys on my shift if they are under the age of 40 still live at home with their parents. This one kid came in with out his uniform. I was like Brian where the hell is your uniform? he said "oh. my mom didn't do laundry last night"... he's 32 years old.

There are all types of girls. Only you will choose your girlfriend. Choose one who doenst think like this. And perhaps try not to think too much about 'snobs' as there's nothing you can do to change them it will just stress you out x all the best in the journey 💓

My wife takes care of the entire household. Her day never ends. If she's not cleaning, she's cooking. If she's not cooking, she's raising the kids or mowing the lawn or shopping. If, by some miracle, she's done all of that, then she's maintaining friendly relationships with the neighborhood, which is also essential.

My job is 8 hours of work, and then I'm done (shy of helping with the kids, as any father should). Her job is every minute she's awake. If I'm sick, I get to sleep and get better. If she's sick, she doesn't get a sick day, as kids still need taught, fed, and supervised. So yeah, my job is more intense per hour, but she does at least equal work when you realize she's working 16 hour days 7 days per week.

This is not true, but people are allowed to get away with whatever we allow or enable them to get away with. If your not getting what you want from a relationship then get out of it, I understand that's easier said than done and there are many factors that come into play.

But as a young man I tried way too hard for way too long to make best out of a bad situation... in the end I wish I would of left a lot sooner. No matter how hard I tried to convince myself I could be happy, it was never going to happen with this person. But at the same time I enabled her ability to treat me like shit by just putting up with it.

Don't blame them, blame society. If you are born female then you must be irrational, incompetent etc and so should "stay at home"..(🙃 the irony of this situation..)

Because life isn't fair. Some man and women don't have to work at all. Many man and women have to work hard.

It doesn't have to be that way. At this point, if you have a "traditional family," it's your choice.
