Fed up of women having to do it all

[indecisivewoman81]

Need a rant.

I'm so fed up of having to not only work full time but do all the school drop offs and pick ups, make all the meals in the house, do all the washing, take the kids to clubs, do the food shop and my DH just looks after himself.

He gets up, showers and goes to work...

If I die I want to come back as a privileged man!

I am exhausted from trying to do everything. I literally feel like I run from one chore to the next whilst trying to hold down a full time job in management.

Just lost my shit and we've had a massive row.

Apparently he works hard!

I said to him if I died what would you do? He said "well I'd have to do it"

And there ladies and gentlemen is it in a nutshell.

He doesn't feel he has to.

Fuck me I'm raging!!

In the 1970s, most children made their way to school and took care of their after-school activities, such as playing with friends and participating in clubs wasn't a thing.
From my experience, parents working and the mother's income contributing to the household finances was common, but it wasn't considered a career.
It's important to be cautious of those who recommend the single-parent life as they do have to manage everything on their own.

Not stupid, just surrounded by gender expectations and pressure.

There are so many threads on here written by younger women who think that they are equal partners, but still seem to do more of the housework.

It can be tricky to see that a man isn't pulling his weight when there's fuck all housework and everyone is getting enough sleep.

This is a DH problem, not a women doing everything problem. My DH is wonderful - has a very physical job, still comes home and does almost all of the cooking (I probably cook about 3x a fortnight), does masses of cleaning, takes the bins out, does all DIY. I do the washing, the ironing, the vacuuming (and anything involving the computer because he’s a Luddite). Works well for us

Yes exactly!
I was just going to post that, as a single parent, I really do have to do it all, including earning all the money.
Not that this makes it any better for women in marriages where husbands do sweet FA, but that problem is better resolved by the husband stepping up, not him swanning off to live his best life whilst you really do do everything.
