RedRobin Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 That's why I won't disrespect traditional housewives anymore because I've seen first hand how much work it is Glad to hear that... yes, it is.....
brahmabull117 Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 All the men I know who acted like that ended up divorced after the kids started school. Because if she has to do all the housework and childcare, she can still get a good portion of your paycheck, the liberty to screw as many other men as she likes... and she doesn't have to take care of one more kid (you). Even better... she probably gets every other weekend to herself and an occasional break from the kids if she divorces you. Something to think about... If you are a responsible father and husband, you will not be coming home and kicking up your feet in the lazy boy. None of the husbands I know who are long-time married do. They share the load... and wives do too. It's not all one way... not with childcare or financially. I don't have a problem with sharing workload but that means she has to work too. If im earning 150 grand and she doesn't make money, then I think its fair to expect her to be a traditional housewife Anyways my sister is like that and so is my best friends brother. They couldn't be any happier 1

They couldn't be any happier I agree there are just so many hours in the day. I have no problems or comments on how people divide the load. My comment was mainly towards cautioning that a big disparity in workload... as in time spent.. leads to resentment... one of the biggest killers of a relationship. I've seen that go either way... Caring, responsible people of either gender find a way to work those things out for their mutual benefit. That much I know.
phineas Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 I was visualizing Leopard's post and the image came to mind when remembering an old CSI Vegas episode where men had this fetish about diapering and being mommied Now that reminds me of the CSI episode where people dressed up as animals & had sex.

phineas Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 150 grand isn't that much money, avg income in my city is 140,000 dollars Somehow I doubt that. List of highest-income places in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
RedRobin Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) One viewpoint That's pretty funny. Except for the huge boil on his leg. Diaper rash perhaps? ew.

Leopard Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 only a fool would spend his time with a feminist Why do you say that? Just curious
DjinnAgain Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 150 grand isn't that much money, avg income in my city is 140,000 dollars At least, 150k doesn't buy all the things he thinks it buys. 1
DjinnAgain Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 is in single parent homes. In which case, they brought that on themselves by removing the father from his kid, so there's no point in them complaining or you defending them. Excuse me, not all of us made the choice. Sometimes it was made for us. I have less work now as a single mother than I did as a stay at home mom when I was married. I am definintely traditional. There seem to be men out there who like either, or who like both depending. 2
phineas Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Why do you say that? Just curious Anyone who identifies themselves as being anything reeks of pretentiousness & is guaranteed going to wind up annoying me eventually. Mostly theater people & artists who have day jobs but only identify with acting or art when you ask them what they do. I've never met someone who told me they were a feminist. ever. I really just don't know where people are meeting women like this. I'm almost convinced they only exist on the interwebs. Just like the 6'5" 250lbs of pure muscle guys who say their going to find you & kick your butt. 1
DjinnAgain Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Somehow I doubt that. List of highest-income places in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I am, of course, not going to say where, but I just checked and my town is on one of those lists. Average income is dragged down because there are the people like me now who are the nannies and the teachers and the landscapers, etc. Average homeowner is much higher. That is most my friends.
phineas Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 At least, 150k doesn't buy all the things he thinks it buys. He who has the most toys when he dies wins right? I make <50k & I don't want or need anything. Every month I have roughly %35 of my pay to do whatever I want with. I mostly put it in the bank or my house. I suppose I could move to a stupid expensive city like Phoenix & take an IT job where i'm killing myself then spend the rest of my life complaining about it but I really can't see that as being healthy. so I won't.

As a woman I dont even have a real grasp on what it is to be a feminist.......i am a humanist......i believe in humanity..so i agree with your statement about proclaiming feminism.i am not even sure what it means in 2012.... havent seen any body stand up and burn their bra on this thread........men need women......women need men......and its a crock going by the labels....feminist traditionalist old fashioned modern...women are women men are men......hopefully.......deb

That's you though. If you are happy with how much you make, that's pretty awesome. But lots of people want to travel the world, go on jet skis and do bunjee jumping etc etc etc. All these things cost money. Anyone who said money doesn't bring you happiness never made enough. Money can get you licensed in many things like piloting and diving, it can take you to the most exotic places in the world that are a pleasure to explore, you can visit historical sites and learn about the world, you can buy a jet ski and enjoy riding it everyday on the water.... These things bring happiness, but in order to do these things, unfortunately, you need money. I think that's why so many people work so hard to make more. The money itself doesn't bring happiness, but the things money can afford do. "Money doesn't buy you happiness, but I would rather cry in a mansion." Hehe
Leopard Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Just because he comes from a wealthy family doesn't mean he doesn't know the value of money. If anything, rich people understand the value of money much more, because they have more to lose.
Leopard Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 If a man wants to make more than 150K a year, why is everyone hating on him? To some, that isn't enough, to others, it means they are rich. People have different tastes and different lifestyles. If you think 150K a year is enough, then good for you. But don't judge others who have bigger plans.
