am not unsympathetic to demands of parenthood, running a house and bringing up children - lone parent, unsupported by ex husband and with only a little extra domestic help by way of various unreliable cleaners, so I know whereof I speak - but have seen LOADS of threads recently by mums running themselves ragged while their husbands/partners appear to do nothing and there are several things I just don't get:
- why do people allow this to happen to them?
- don't they realise we alone are responsible for the way others treat us, particularly in this sort of situation?
- doesn't sympathy for something that is arguably wholly (or at very least to a pretty large extent) self-inflicted only exacerbate the problem long term?
- isn't it a bit embarrassing to sound so martyred?
is possible as long term confirmed singleton I am missing some vital point here, am happy to be enlightened
