I swear I hear all kinds of men talking about all you have to do is take care of the kids how hard can that be? Let them stay home and take care of 3 kids making sure they eat right, giving baths, making sure the chores are done and a whole lot more my friend is the lucky one her husband has told me that he knows its not easy and he tries not to complain about how tired he is and how hard he works cause he knows she works hard also and they only have 1 kid why is it that the rest of the men have to say it is so easy to deal with all of this especially the fighting and argueing that starts at 6 in the morning and dont stop until they go to bed

I agree and i hate how they say but i work!!!! What do you think I do? I may not get a paycheck pal but damned if i don't work hard since i'm on call 24 hours a day. Mine once told me well i bring home the bacon and my response was ..... well i prep it, cook it, serve it, clear it, clean the pan and plate and then put those away. then the next day i clean the room you expelled it in. Mine also got a reality check recently when i had to be hospitalized for a week. He said he is glad to be back at work but even after a few days his behavior went right back to but this is what you do. ughh men can't live with em and can't shoot em........ well maybe lol

i agree with you 100% my husband is the same way.

we only have one little girl who is almost 3. i don't just take care of her, i take care of bills, make sure the house is how he likes it, and i cook 3 meals a day, and much more.

sure he digs ditches all day in the hot sun and i couldn't trade jobs with him, but atleast he gets out of the house everyday-right!? i just wish he would give me some credit!
