Tell my ol Lady that. I work 6 16 hour shifts a week and she insists she cleans all day, but somehow I always get stuck loading the dishwasher and tossing in laundry when I get home. Come to think of it, I should vacuum this week, it needs it.

that kind of sucks man. I know what it feels like to work shifts and just work - cook - clean -tidy - sleep. Although i don't work 16 h shifts, but often 8 h on 8 h off and then 8 on again.

Technically building another human only requires that you eat, drink, and stay healthy and it does the rest on its own... And if we're really getting technical, the only time you're making anything is when you actually are engaging in coitus, once egg becomes zygote it grows on its own and just steals nutrition from you.

Um...no sir. Unless you've ever been pregnant, you have no earthly idea how much being pregnant puts a strain on a body. Along with added weight, extra cardiovascular strain (20% more blood), and those lovely symptoms such as nausea and fatigue, you also get to push an 8 pound baby out of a hole the size of a tampon......imagine THAT buddy!!! Next time, try it before you say anything!

I didn't say it was easy, I'm just pointing out a technicality.

Ask any doctor...he will tell you the "technicality" you pointed out is wrooooong. Lol

Sorry. I'm pregnant and kind of sensitive on the subject of people thinking its a walk in the park when it's not. I got a little defensive. I'm done being a bitch now :)

hmmm, I guess I can see why you're being such a bitch, if your ****** opening were only the size of a tampon that must mean that your hubbies/boyfriends is literally a "pindick" and how much fun could that be? I think its called "sexual frustration".

133- what is WITH your comments today?!? You're just being nasty to everyone. (And by "everyone", I mean women.) I'm pretty sure normal women's vaginas -CLOSE- AFTER SEX. THEY DON'T REMAIN OPEN LIKE A GAPING SEX HOLE.

She didn't say she didn't pitch in. To set a certain amount of hours a week to clean is a little rediculous though. As long as she keeps up it's ok.

Of course, treating him like a sperm donor/paycheck is the answer *sarcasm. There are plenty of safe for baby cleaning products and as a man who works 90 hour weeks, it's like a slap to the face mixed with a deliberate "up yours" to come home to a pigsty.

Oh, you are just sad. Everything you said reeks of condescension and entitlement.

Perhaps you are right. I should be holding down the job and keeping the house in order so she can enjoy it. What happened to relationships being a 50/50 split? The belief that men are solely a source of income and labor is the bane of my existance.

It's amazing how being pregnant is obviously the the hardest and most painful task to endure. NOT! If having a child was that hard then you wouldn't see 16 yr old girls doing it. How many 16 yr old boys do you see working 80+- hrs per week? Which is about what I work. Granted pregnancy must be tough for nine months. Try having the burden of being a sole provider for a family for the rest of your life. Getting a job, keeping a job, and progressing at that job takes discipline and hard work. After the woman's nine months of pregnancy the male still continues to work. Asking for op to put in 50 hrs a week of house cleaning is fine if it needs it. This should be a F**k his life for getting with such a lazy woman

What the ****? Where do you live where asking your significant other to do 50 hours of housework because you work for 50 hours is acceptable?

#165- Until you push a small human out of your body, you need to shut your mouth!!! 16 year old girls get pregnant because they are young and impulsive. I am blessed to be a stay-at-home mom of three young ones. Sure, a father continues to work after the baby is born and has to provide an income for his family. But if the mother is a stay-at-home mom, her job becomes far more complicated than you could ever handle! She carries the load of multiple professions (i.e. chef, maid, nurse, referee, cheerleader, taxi driver, etc...) Her job doesn't pay overtime. She works 24/7 including holidays. She has NO sick days, NO paycheck, NO days off, NO lunch break, and most days NOT EVEN a moment of peace in the bathroom! She does her job out of love AND she supports her husband/boyfriend. You wouldn't last an 8 hour shift at my job!

@ #199- I was replying based on my own experience. I did not mean to discriminate. I realize that a stay-at-home dad has the same job as me. My reply was more to the assumption that a woman's job becomes easy after the birth of a baby. If she stays home, her work has just begun!

TheDrifter; Not at your comment. I agree conpletely. It's the main post I cant stand. Men are not your ATM's!

Thank you that's right

I don't think she should dump the baby's father.
