Quote: Just how old is your H, LL...he's sounding like someone of my Dad's generation for crying out loud!
my h is 34 and this is not the first time such a comment has been made about his living in a freakin time warp! Seems to me h comes from a la la land where it is the mans job to work and provide and the womans job to cook and clean and care for the children. Now on occassion h does step out of that role (more so now than before the seperation but less than his homecomming) If this were 1950 I probably wouldn't have much to complain about as everyone else would be living the same way (I think) but this is not 1950 and I'm not some dumb woman who's only capable of being a w and mother...I've got a freakin bachelors degree and the capability to make more money than he does someday...ah will then I be able to sit on my a$$ and watch football and let him cook and clean and entertain my family when they visit??? perhaps the next time we have his family over I should just have pizza delivered and then go sit in a side room reading a book or something...they shouldn't be able to complain about it as they don't seem to see anything wrong with h parking it on the couch watching football while they're here.
Yes I live in a time warp there aren't many that do all that I do anymore...h is luckier than he knows.
but back to the money...yes it's annoying, yes it's rather demeaning, yes, it's insulting but most of all it's distructive to what little closeness I do feel with h. Goes right along with last year when I found out second hand weeks later that bil's w went to football game with h when bil couldn't go...I'm the outsider I know nothing...out of the loop even in my own home.
