Working Moms are over worked

I like most working moms work over 40 hours a week, and I'm expected to cook for the family, clean the house, do the home work and any other extra activities like scouting or religious obligations.  My husband claims to work hard for 40 hours comes home and parks his butt.  On his days off he sleeps in, spends countless hours on Ebay or better yet Playstation.  This week he is on vacation at home.  Tonight I came home and there was no dinner, homework was not done.  I had scouting and he ate the only food in the house.  His response while playing stupid video games was "what was I suppose to eat."  I am so sick of this.  Women are not only expected to do the more traditional homemaker chores but work over 40 hours a week.  This stinks.  Men are lazier than ever.  They don't even fix our cars any more, they don't pay for anything.  We don't even go out on dates unless I pay for it.

He takes everything away from me that I like to do.  He spends way too much money on crap we don't need nor will we every use.  Yet when I want a new purse because the only one I have is falling apart or a vacation or anything, we never have enough money.  One of his more recent purchases was an Ice Maker to take camping.  We don't even camp. 

Does anyone have a cure for lazy husbands that doesn't involve death, dismemberment or divorce?

  • I can definitely see why your blood is boiling. Sounds like you need to have a serious sit down talk about what you two expect from each other. Hang in there. You're doing great!
