$138,000.00 Ladies! $138,000.00!!!!

I have WHAT in my yard? :

AtHome Daddy...agreed! That is one of my arguments with women (why do we do this to each other ladies?) who are grousing about sarah palin..... not about the vote or not - who cares & don't want to start that thread - but complaining that she should be home with her kids?!?!? Her husband can do that just as well as she can!

Nobody EVER asks a male candidate "who's taking care of your children?"

So let's amend #138,000 for the primary household engineer!

And don't get me started on the stay at home vs "working" moms. There is NO SUCH thing as a mom who doesn't work! When I stayed home I got criticized, when I went back to work I got criticized.

Why do we attack each other over this? It isn't the men who do it, it's us!

i totally agree even though my wife works she is still a good mommy and a great wifey. and we couldnt be happier this works for us i have a friend that think im somehow less of a man for letting her work while i stay at home with the house and kids but i think im more pf a man because my kids know me and what i am about mommies have their place but my point is so do daddies​

Real men, who have real ****s!! don't need to prove their manhood! "Real" men change diapers!!

Ain't nuthin' sexier to a woman than a man changin' a diaper!

Seriously? I stayed home because hubby made more money than I did and my job was more amenable to part time work.

My sister and her husband divided it the other way! He didn't like his jo and she adored hers. He stayed home......


Brother and his wife both worked because they had no options.......


Kids are loved and cared for - it's all good!

... it would cost that much per year to replace her! ...

They're on sale now in Panama, Argentina, the Philippines and Russia, but I'm still waiting for Iceland to mark theirs down.​

Sounds like my hubby .... everything around here falls under the category of "house work" and I work in the house - he only works out of the house off the property (except for the chicken coop which he has been building since May - when the first chicks got here and moved into the basement). Kinda ticks me off sometimes. But I have learned that if I want something done ... I might as well get the hammer, duct tape and some bandaids and do it myself!

Yeah, it's getting ridiculous around here lately. DH has been working 14 hour shifts 5-7 days a week. When he's home, he sleeps. If he's off work, he plays video games or b*tches the house is dirty

He might hate his father, but he sure is turning into him.
He's been 'working' on this chicken run for EVER and it's not even close to finished. His priorities are soooo jacked up. For real. I can't remodel/renovate/build this darn house myself watching 2 toddlers.

Ohhh sounds sooo familiar. I call mine "Pork chop" He isn't good for anything but putting a dent in the couch cushion and loosing the remote! I can't even get him to mow the lawn. I am the maintenance guy and the house keeper as well as working a pt job. Altho i have no children i have chickens everywhere so i guess that could count? It's like living with AL bundy! LAst year we had a pipe burst on the outside of the house for the irrigation system and flooded the basement so bad we had to rip the carpet out and replace a wall in the laundryroom. I tried to call him on his cell that day to let him know what happened and he was at the bar drinking away turned off his cell because he figured i was calling to yell at him for not coming home after work. Ya think he could replace the pvc pipe so we could actually use the sprinklers on the lawn this year.... NO way! now our lawn looks like a dried up mess! upside to that is i don't have to spend 3 hours mowing every week now

Boy i feel like i am worth double that as well!

Men need to trade places for a couple weeks and be a stay at home dad. The ones who just work all day have no clue as to how much work it is to stay home with kids all day long without any breaks!

I stayed home with my 2 kids for 6 months then worked a midnight shift...and tried to watch them during the day when I should have been sleeping. I don't know WHAT I was thinking. Mommies can't do it all.
I work during the day now and the kids are in school

And my husband finally understands that I need help at home. Lol.

All kidding aside, when my son and daughter were five and six years old, Anne went to Europe for two weeks with her mom and two sisters, leaving me at home to babysit. By the time she got home, I was ready to call all the adoption agencies to see if they would take two donations. Arghhhhhh!

That is a great observation. Once at church, when I was new to the at home parent thing, I was sitting in a class and the leaders asked my wife and I where we worked. I kind of stuttered and stammered my way through explaining what I did.

In the end, one of the class leaders gave me a little good natured ribbing and then he said that everyone should applaud me for making the choice to stay home since he would never want to do it.

I ended up making really great friends with several moms in the group when I replied "Why? Have you guys ever clapped for all of these at home moms around here? Or how about the single mom sitting over there?"​

When people ask me how I am, I say "Better than nothing. That's what my wife says, anyway."
