Hire a hubby?

[strongswans]

Just doing the dance run dropping with DS and heard an advert for hire a hubby.com. AIBU to think this is a tad sexist?! I'm a single mum and manage to do most of the so called hubby jobs they list- property maintenance, painting etc... I know it's probably a marketing thing but still. DS 12 is great through, said i should ring and ask them to come do some cleaning or baking for us!

You do I know you posted that on MUMSnet right?!

At first I thought it was more likely to be a dial a shag service but having seen the website they are a real company called hire a hubby that come and do diy wtf?

I wonder if there is a hire a wifey that come and bake and dust?

Is that the one in Faversham? I'm always when I see his advert! Even if I did need something like a washer changed or something that I dd t know how to do I'd never call him as it's so bloody cringy. And there's no way a bloke would ring him to do a job.

Maybe he's actually a prostitute?

It looks like a very cheap and badly designed website. The testimonials come across as very dubious.

Your all doing it. Complaining about HUBBY on MUMSnet. Is it just me who sees the irony here?

Manclife - erm, what irony?

Complaining hireahubby is a sexist website name but writing it on a website called mumsnet

I don't think the name is the problem mancliffe. The concept combined with such name suggests women NEED a man to do certain tasks. The company is sexist.

I don't think people are contesting the website address but the content behind the site Manclife

Hmm, yet mumsnet being about bringing up kids (suggesting dad's can't) isn't?

Manclife - mumsnet - by PARENTS for PARENTS. Hireahubby - women need men to do all the "manly" jobs cause they're top delicate/dim to do them themselves. Massive difference. A man would never use hireahubby while plenty of men use this parents forum for help and advice.

I'm pretty sure they'll do jobs for women AND men though (same way mumsnet is for both).

I wonder if there is a hire a wifey that come and bake and dust?

Here you go, go give 'em hell for gender stereotyping www.mollymaid.co.uk/

They are all over Australia. It's a franchise business. My friend is one.

I thought it was an escort service from the thread title. I was quite intrigued.

I thought it was an escort service where we could hire a boring git for a night with a beer belly.
