I have woman in their 40s and 50s who say their men don't do anything they're bums and it's sad. I have 1 friend whose 43. She does it all. Cooks breakfast and dinner, gets up 3 to 5 hours of sleep a night, has to get kids ready for school, picks and drops her kids off at school. then had to work 10hr shifts and it makes me insanely mad because I'm like I know you're married and all but wtf where is your husband? It's fucking infuriating how these men don't do shit. Speaking as a man myself I was raised once you're home work doesn't stop I still have chores and responsibilities and it's a man's job to pull equal if not more weight in the house. It's ridiculous no wonder a lot of women divorce after the kids are grown. I've only known 2 men who were extremely active in the household duties and still worked 40 to 50hrs a week. A part of adulting is knowing that housework is your second job away from work.

Women shouldn’t be in relationships with children.
Thank you for seeing the repulsive “division” of labor. I’m a single mom by choice and whole people are always commenting on how hard it must be to do it all, from what I observe, it’s genuinely easier for me than for most of my married parent friends because, well, I only have a kid, not a kid and husband to take care of. Ugh, the patriarchy 😢
Couldn’t agree more, hence I’m child-free and don’t want to be tied down. Only had one relationship where he helps me but the rest I did the grocery shopping and cooking and washing the dishes. Only men have the advantage in a marriage, they have a personal assistant lol
Consider this as just another reminder, if it’s not too late for you, seriously consider whether you really want kids. They make life much much harder (even with a partner who’s great help).
