Tips to look after your husband....

[RiseToday]

This just popped up on FB

My stance is - fuck that for a game of soldiers. Reasonable?!

Dm is so very pleased I'm now on maternity leave. Finally dh will be looked after properly. Poor dh having to iron his own shirts for work. And shock horror he sometimes puts washing in the machine. And "you make him cook your dinner?!" (Disclaimer - I don't make him, he finds cooking is a good stress reliever and he is waaaaaaaay better at it than me!)

IfyouseeRitaMoreno Absoultey! My grandparents were working class people and all worked full time (My grandfathers were a miner and a signalman and my grandmothers were a biscuit factory worked and nurse)

My grandads would shine shoes and prepare tea (dinner, we are ooop north) and wrangle us kids after school as they started early and finished early and my grandmothers quite frankly seemed to spend a lot of time in the local working men's club drinking babycham 😂

I'm a SAHM and I do try to do a lot of this for DP BUT he does a lot for me, too - we both talk about our days and he spends his evening playing with the children until bedtime, clearing up their toys etc. while I put them to bed and then clearing up after dinner. We both try to take the load off the other's feet, just in different ways.

I'm old and usually reasonably dear. I don't buy this bollocks and have rarely met anyone who did.

Consideration works both ways - it has to! But I could certainly do without being bombarded with everyones does and complaints the minute I get through the door! I know myself and I know before that first cup of tea in the evening I am a crabby bitch and need to unwind and if they just waited until after that I would be able to plug back into family life without being horrid. I don't expect anyone to make me the tea or plump my cushions though! Mutual comfortable ignoring is enough for the first 10 mins is enough. This may sound unreasonable but all day is have people wanting a piece of me and then commute and all this builds my anxiety.

Het up because even today we socialise women and daughters to do anything to make sure that a man is appeased under any circumstances no matter what ! That's why

I find it quite scary that this sort of shit was spouted only 60 odd years ago. Mind you,I did laugh at the bit where it said 'put a ribbon in your hair' .
