Would anyone else be interested in what Beer's wife would be saying in this thread?

Your wife upsets me........ scares me too cause I think my wife is heading in the same direction. (My wife is always talking about quitting her job, she always says she does so much more than me around the house even though laundry, dishes, vacuuming, garbages, catbox, sweeping, mopping, cleaning up dog poop, mowing the lawns, shoveling the walks, cleaning out rain gutters, etc etc are all my "jobs"...... and more and more she lays in bed in the afternoon...... plus I work overtime and she is always late to work or calls in sick and never works ot even though she can if she wants...... she is always buying random stuff and always wants to spend money on frivolous services that I find unnecessary like having the house sprayed for bugs every few months and lawn care stuff)Og gawwwddd .... She always tell me I have 2 jobs. Do the laundry and do the dishes after dinner. I am fine with both. Laundry is all done. I have done the dishes every night for as long as I can remember. I have noticed she has been doing a load with the kids breakfast and lunch dishes when I get home from work. I do not feel like I need to clean up after the messes made while I'm at work. So, whatever. Anyways we are in bed last night and she goes "You're falling back into not doing anything around the house again." I sit up and try and bite my tongue as I look around at all of her **** all over the place. We have 2 kids a 5 yo and a 1 yo and the house would be pretty much spotless if it wasn't for my wife. How sad is that?
My tongue starts bleeding so I've got to talk. "Ummmm, I did the dishes. It's not my job to clean up after the messes you guys make while I'm at work. You are a stay at home mom, most of the household stuff is YOUR responsibility. If you are going to come at me for not doing my part you better make god damn sure you are doing yours." It didn't turn the light on in her head. Instead, and I dont remember all the details, but she said a few of these things.
"I don't have to make dinner every night." FYI she maybe makes dinner 2 or 3 times a week. And ummm, if you stay home it absolutely is your job to make dinner.
"I take care of the kids and clean all day while you're at work." Then why is the house always messier than when I left in the morning? And why are you laying in bed every day when I get home?
"I would love to have a job but I can't" Ummm false again, you quit your job because you were missing too much time with the kids. Which is great, but don't act like I'm keeping you locked in the house.
And she's still trying to start **** via text while I'm trying to post on a forum. PMS is the worst.

I'm just glad I don't have kids.Wow, are you secretly living my life?
I knew something like this was going to happen because she had been doing things around the house for like 2 days. Nevermind the month previous where she hadnt done a damned thing. She thinks 1 or 2 days makes up for me keeping everything straight for the last month by myself.
I'm just glad I don't have kids.
I figure it would only get worse

She doesn't want to work....... but that may be because she hates her job.So your wife just doesn't want to work at all or she doesn't like her job? Or both?

To her credit she is trying to start her own business but it's in a field that I don't think will really make any money.
So far there has only been expenses and no income. She is smart and good at her field but I'm worried it will never really be very profitable and then I will have to pay for everything..... which I wouldn't mind if I made more money or we (she) spent less. $90 dollars for a haircut, pedicures, manicures, massages, etc. Plus she is always wanting to remodel something and always talking about selling our house and moving into a better (more expensive) house in a better area. I have worked hard to get my mortgage payment pretty low (put down 35,000 last year on a re-finance)
I don't want to move. We have a nice house and kearns is not really that bad.
Right back at ya...... your posts about the struggle are somewhat therapeutic for meGlad to see I have a brother in the struggle.
Because she is extra awesome and nice. Super smart too!
A+ for effort, but you're still not getting any.
My wife does this from time to time too..My wife never keeps track of time. Often at night she decides, at whatever random time I can't figure out, that suddenly it's time for bedtime and goes into complete freakout mode. I get into trouble for not helping get the kids ready for bed and she takes 30-45 solid minutes to get herself ready AND THEN another hour to lay with them for stories. How the hell do you get a kid ready for bed anyway? It takes them 5 minutes or less.
This chaos and her attitude causes me to drink more of course and then I take a bunch more **** for drinking and not doing something she wants me to do for her but can't actually tell me what it is.
Why do women always need things from men? Honey do this, honey do that. I can't remember the last time I or any dude I know asked a wife for anything.
