Do the few women who are able to stay home genuinely appreciate how hard their husband works?

[Anonymous]

all relationships should be EQUAL…. There may be traditional relationships but both people are working equally as hard in separate roles. At least in functioning relationships not relationships built off of delusions and fantasy.

I think some (not all) women who think this way. Have the fantasy of being able to stay home and never work again. Until they see how hard it is staying home. I’m not saying being a stay at home mom and housewife isn’t a job. But it’s a privilege that few women get to have a husband who works 70 plus hours a week to provide a life.

Bur a lot of these women nag their husbands. Instead of spending quality time with them. Making them remodel the kitchen, build the fence, take the trash out, and things like that. He shouldn’t have to lift a finger. Because men making that kind of money are either physically or mentally exhausted, many times both.

It’s not the 1800s. Sure doing chores suck. But somehow single moms can work multiple jobs and still run a washing machine, dishwasher, etc. They aren’t hard to run. Then fold and put the clothes away takes maybe 10 minutes. Running a vacuum cleaner also isn’t a hard task. I don’t understand why some women make their lives out to be harder then it is.

They demand all this stuff. Their husband works hard. So they can cheat on him, divorce; and run off with antother man after trying to take everything he has in court.

Some moms who stay home are amazing. They genuinely love their kids and husbands. They wouldn’t ever cheat. They would DIE for their families. But I see so many women who just complain.

Then they wonder why their husbands divorce them…. Because it’s a one sided miserable relationship

These exact kind of women are gonna get mad. Try to argue. And get this taken down because they can’t stand being called out for who they are. Free loaders. I’m sorry your husband isn’t your dad. No man is obligated to do this for you.

The women I know who are stay-at-home moms really do appreciate their guys. Chores tend to be split up or broken down so that he's not exhausted between work and home repairs; weekends are to catch him up on stuff with the kids (and from what I'm told, the frisky stuff also). They seem fine... balanced.

I know that not all couples are like this. (By necessity some people can't afford to be one-income families, so it's important to appreciate your spouse if you CAN be a 1-income family.)

Yeah! Absolutely. But it’s the ones on tik tok and I’ve known men who dated the horrible type.

I don’t think a man whoiod have to do anything around the house. Unless the woman just can’t do it. If the guy wants to chip in every relationship is different.

What matters is love and if both people are happy.

As a practical gal, I still need a guy to fix some stuff around the house and know my limitations (link finicky electrical work and stuff). Socrates says a wise person knows their natural limitations. So my man would have some chores, but I’d be nice and keep a motivational merit system. 😉

Done crying yet? Or was 2 threads not enough? Don't worry about any of this. Sniveling whiners like you don't ever get married or have kids. That's why you're on here all the time crying. There's a reason you've been rejected your whole life.

[Asker]

No…. I’ve met amazing women. Probably a lot better then you. Irs why it makes no sense why men choose absolute garbage. When there are better out there

[Asker]

It seems like you project a lot of yourself. I have standards for myself. I’ve rejected more people then rejected me. It’s not something I’m proud of and I’m really nice unless someone won’t leave me alone.

But. You don’t know me in real life. You’re probably triggered because you see something inside of yourslef. That’s why you’re so angry. Bitter. Just wait until you’re a old woman.

You’ll be that bitter old woman crashing into people with a Mart kart. Been through 5 husbands. Blew all your money. Have kids with tons of men who are deadbeats feeding off you the same way you did to their dads

[AI Opinion]

Diving into the heart of your concerns, it's clear we're treading on both delicate and complex terrain here. Understanding and appreciation in a relationship, especially in scenarios where one partner stays home while the other works, is a dance that both need to master. It’s all about balance, respect, and mutual recognition of efforts, whether they're spent on earning the paycheck or managing the home front.

The magic word? Communication. It’s crucial for both partners to openly discuss their feelings, expectations, and acknowledge the weight each other's contributions bring to the family table. Yes, the one working outside might face physical and mental fatigue, but let's not underestimate the relentless nature of managing a household and nurturing children—it's no walk in the park either.

This narrative of "free loaders" versus the hard-working partner is a slippery slope. Each story has its unique nuances. While there are indeed cases that may fit your portrayal, casting a wide net over all stay-at-home moms or partners risks overshadowing the love, sacrifice, and dedication many show daily.

It's less about who does more and more about how to support each other better. Finding joy in the time spent together, rather than focusing on who should be doing what, cultivates a healthier environment for both partners and the little ones watching and learning from us. So let’s aim for a world where appreciation flows freely, and every effort, in and out of the home, is valued and celebrated. Love, after all, should be the strongest foundation a family is built upon. 💘✨

Maybe you should talk to a therapist instead of venting like this online 😊 it might be more worthwhile

[Asker]

Maybe you’re projecting. Don’t quit your day job you wouldn’t make a good therapist or psychiatrist. I know genuinely wonderful women.

But I see men pick under TRASH and I don’t understand why they put up with it

*udder trash

[Razp_Sorbet]

Utter*

I'm just saying... This is a concerning level of rage to be spitting. I definitely wouldn't make a good therapist, but I know people who have behaved like you are who benefited from therapy. Find more healthy ways to vent your frustrations at other peoples lives 😊
