Why is every other thread ??my BIL does not wash up and baby sit my kids when I visit my sister? - Erh perhaps he doesn?t like you or your kids? Perhaps he gives your sister fantastic oral sex every night because she always washes up.
?? My husband always panics when left alone with our six kids?? - How would you do left doing his job? ETC

This is not about the feckless alcoholics or just bums but Men are different - which is why personally I love them

And please donnt get me wrong I am not a surrendered wife - my own DH was a SAHD for 4 years - still does all the cooking and knows much more about fabric conditioner that I will ever want to know - but is not particularly keen on anyone?s kids apart from our own - doesn?t get a lot of goes on at the school gate (which has taught me to be less concerned) and thinks womens talk too much about crap

I personally did not want to marry another woman

My husband's crap at housework, but then so am I.

Get a cleaner, that's my advice. For a mere £15 neither of us has to spend the weekend hoovering and mopping the bath.

None of any of this makes it OK to take the piss out of the OPs mum.

I am really angry about that. This isn't a playground.

If someone says something people don't like then challenge them on it. Telling them to fuck off and then making deliberately provocatove comments about their parents are the actions of 10 year olds.

thats nowhere near what you said at all

I do not think anyone, male or female, hetero or homosexual, human or animal, should be judged by ability to do housework. The most under-rated skill is the ability to cope with mess!

Do you get oral sex for doing the washing up? Why on earth did I buy a dishwasher?
