Lipstick despite my saying so at least twice and I believe others have said same I HAVEN'T as you've claimed tried to make out they're particularly difficult tasks - in fact that's kind of the point! It's the monotony and dullness of the tasks that makes them a pain to do! But they DO HAVE to be done with a wearing regularity to ensure the smooth running of the home. And regardless of the level of difficulty they're still time consuming and require a level of effort.
"Just because they're generally considered boring and unskilled and unvalued, doesn't mean they're not a 'thing' and important." Exactly!
And as I've pointed out I've DONE IT ALL while a single ft working mum.
Generally there's actually less to do if there's nobody home most of the day to mess the home up which reduces much of the low level physical housework.
As compared to being a sahm it was LESS work - both physical and mental.
Yes the majority of us "just get on" and do it as that's life but in view of the current discussion the op needs to acknowledge that their opinion that they do 50% is highly unlikely to be true!
There's been several posters quick to point out that myself and others holding that view are wrong and unwilling to consider other possibilities - I see no such consideration at all from the op he's not budged an inch! Indeed as his posts have gone on his views have become more entrenched and in some cases outright insulting!
He's even made it clear he doesn't want people with opposing views posting!
StatisticallyChallenged - point is op has been at pains throughout to claim he does 50% while also working full time, nobody has said the op does nothing just challenged him on if he actually does 50% and his responses haven't exactly supported that!
While his overt comments state he does his other slightly less overt comments strongly suggest he doesn't, knows he doesn't, & he is pissed off we didn't all unanimously fall to our knees before him to support him and canonise him a saint and criticise his wife and declare her a lazy, ungrateful whatever!
"The medical issues my kids have are more ailments" meaning? My point was that was another task for your wife to cover. How is that being due to ailments or a chronic illness mean this wasn't a task for her? You posted about knowing about their meds as an example of your input - how is it not an example of input because it's your wife's task? Actually thanks for that - simply confirms what I and several others thought and what we often see in the way society treats men and women doing EXACTLY the same tasks if those tasks are still very much seen as a wife's responsibility - completely unacknowledged and unappreciated if carried out by a a woman and an example of bloody sainthood if carried out by a man!
"and I was off due to a physical injury like a broken wrist so not ‘laid up’" which means that you were limited in what you could do while also being present at home and likely needing your wife to do tasks you couldn't at that time due to your injury - which was my point in saying that she also at this time had you being unable to work and at home and needing additional care.
Lipstick we've all got scars - completely irrelevant to this discussion.
