Useless husbands

I often see people complaining about completely useless husbands on here who don't know how to parent or look after their kids and do nothing to take care of their home or garden.
These are men who hold down responsible jobs apparently. Well I wouldn't be too sure about that.
I've worked in the NHS for 43 years in senior roles and I can tell you I have seen plenty of stupidity at work too.
The guy who always strolled in 2 minutes before work started because he knew somebody else would have to get his notes out ready for clinic or everyone would run late.
The same guy always asked if someone else could put his notes away because he had to "get the kids". We all had to get the kids.
I would have to put a stop to this piss taking as soon as I found out about it.
The guy who never washed his patients properly because he couldn't be bothered and missed basic checks.
The guy whose admin was so awful it was impossible to work out what he'd actually done that day.
The guy who left his dirty plates and cups in the sink every single day because washing up was beneath him.
Of course there are plenty of hard working guys too but you always knew which was which because the good guys would talk about their families lovingly and tell you what they were doing with them that weekend and the useless husbands would only talk about what he was doing that weekend.
I remember one of the lazy useless ones announcing to a group of guys IN A TEAM MEETING where people were working in groups that he thought women should be imprisoned for refusing to have sex with their husbands.There was a very awkward silence.
Trust me we can always tell who are the useless dads because they behave the same at work short of being actually sacked.
