Today, I came home after ten hours at work to find my unemployed wife and 4 kids sprawled out watching TV waiting for me to get home and cook for them. I had to wash all the dishes first because they didn't feel like getting up or helping. FML

Grow a pair and tell them to take some responsibility.

Then don't do it until they get off their asses and help :/

Dude, I'm an internet junkie not to mention my frickin AP class homework. Even I still fins time to help with the dishes!

Just out of interest, have you spent a day alone with your 4 children while your wife was out of the house? Maybe you'd appreciate her a little more if you did. If she's looking after 4 kids, she isn't unemployed (a word you seem to have chosen to make her sound lazy), she's a stay at home mum. Kids are demanding, sometimes you get things done, other times you don't. Instead of criticising, why not take the family out for dinner then sort the house out together when the kids are in bed? If this is a regular occurrence, talk to her about what you need & find out what she needs instead of complaining to a bunch of people who don't know anything about your home life.

At which point I would have walked out of the house and gone to a bar for dinner. With friends.

She wouldn't be my wife anymore that's for damn sure.

lazy *****. if someone has been at work all day. male or female do not make them cook dinner. i wouldnt anyway. its selfish

Is she home with the kids or are they school age? Even with kids, parents at home still manage to get stuff done.

I hate men who think that they can just work at their job and expect to check out the rest of the time. Do you seriously think it's fair to expect her to do housework and childcare 24/7 while you only work 9-5 (or 9-7)? Both of you should log your time doing job work, housework, childcare, sleep, and leisure. If she has more leisure time than you, you're qualified to complain, but she probably doesn't. Stay at home moms definitely do much more than ten hours of work a day even if they're not technically employed.

I understand your point but all he wants is some help after a long ass day at work. The kids or her could have at least washed the dishes, if it was the tier way around so many people would be ranting on how he should get his lazy ass off the couch and do something. Screw people

You can beat the kids to get em right but you can't beat your wife..

Fun fact! You're only unemployed if you're looking for a job. Otherwise you just don't work outside the home.

I would recommend cooking a delicious smelling meal for one and leaving cereal on the table
