He makes my blood boil. He had a very traditional upbringing and brought his children up the same way. And he thinks his way is the right way and that the vast majority of families have mum staying at home doing the cooking, cleaning, shopping and childcare while dad goes to work.
I come from a family where my grandma was a widowed working mother and my mum worked throughout my whole childhood.
I am married to his son, we have a little boy and I run my own business. It's a small business, but I employ 9 members of staff and get great satisfaction from the challenges and achievements. He always refers to it as my 'little project' and asks when I'm going to give it up and become a proper housewife....?!
He is so sexist and chauvinistic. I could write an essay on examples of awful comments and ridiculous things he has said ('women shouldn't drink', 'women shouldn't play sport' etc). Anyway, he has just shared a post on Facebook about 1950s housewife 'rules' - like having the man's slippers warming by the fire and supper on the table for when he gets back from work. I know it's all tongue in cheek, but coming from him, it's not funny. It's a real article from the 1950s and women have worked hard to not just be a man's skivvy. To me it's almost as bad as a racist posting something about the rules black slaves should follow.
Can anyone help we with a short, sharp, witty remark for me to comment on his post?
