Even if you had everything "your" way you would still gripe about it.
Example: I get b*tched at by my wife all the time for playing on the computer too much or something else (who knows what it will be today)
I work 6-7 days a week, 50+ hours
I do ALL the laundry
I clean the house
I cook 85% of the meals
I pay all the bills
I even do most of the food shopping
WITHOUT COMPLAINING!!!!
Seriously, all she has to do is come home and complain about how her day went. (And YES, I have learned my lesson to sit there and listen and pretend I care)

Then if men say something about it all you crazy old hens get your feathers in a tizzy and go man-bashing.
I would just be happy if you just admit that most of you are crazy and will never be content.

I know that I am not going to win this battle and I really don't care either. (I am the founder of the iDontCare.com website)

I look forward to all of your man-bashing comments and how you have to deal with childbirth, PMS, etc, etc.

Have a nice day.

I am not looking for pity and NO I am not "wipped"!
LOL
I have been doing it before I even met my wife because I grew up that way.

Damn! Won't you people just have a decent argument!

See you are a good husband and man if you do all of that!! What you need to do is have a backbone and stand up to your wife and have her take on some of the workload....because all you are going to do is wear yourself out why she complains about how she waste chips.

But we women go through a lot more than what men credit us for. Just like you.....we go through a hard day at work.....dealing with kids.....with rude people......and still come home and manage to please our husband...cook.....clean......and still be ready for work the next day. I may only be 17 but i see how my mom does it and she is a single parent. But she never complained when my dad was alive and to this day she doesn't complain.

But if you have children at least the age of 10 they can start cleaning the bathrooms....taking out the garbage....and sort their clothes for the laundry.....and put their clothes away.....i mean that's how it is for me. But honestly you need to talk to your wife and tell her to help you with some of the chores around the house. The woman of the house should help out instead of being lazy!!

First, if you feel that the workload is all on you and not your wife then you should address this matter. If you have in the past and had no success then try this idea. Get to trays, and a bunch of small gift bags and as many bricks (or something heavy) as you have bags. Put one brick in each bag. Then label two bags as Job, two bags as cleaning, two as doing dishes, two as food shopping, two as paying bills, etc. Then have your wife hold one tray and you hold the other. You each get a bag for what you do in around the house. This should show who has the most work. If you are overloaded your tray will be heavy and you won't be able to keep all the bags on the tray your wife should get the point or maybe you will see that she is doing other things that equal up too.

Second. Why women complain. Because there is something to complain about. We hurt physically or emotionally. We are stressed. Our husbands, kids, pets, parents, siblings, bosses, coworkers or friends are upsetting us. We weren't able to finish everything on our schedule. etc. Because we married our husbands we expect they want to be there for us so we tell them what is on our mind and they always take it as complaining because they don't see the need to gripe about their day they just hold it in.

Third, tell me honestly, that you and your friends have never
"woman-bashed" or complained about woman. You have, don't lie. Your doing it in this question. Why do men complain about women? Now reverse that to why women complain and you have answered your own question.

Fourth, you shouldn't be "pretending to care" about what you wife is complaining about if you really listened maybe you would see she has a reason to complain and just maybe you could help her fix the problem or at least comfort her which is all she is looking for, Comfort from her supposed to be loving husband.

Hope this helps and anwers your question.

I'd like to know why men always complain about women complaining. :) I will not bash men, but it is true that we all have different things to deal with. If you aren't happy with the amount you have to do around the house, then sit and have a conversation (note that I said CONVERSATION, not arguement) about what needs to get done and what you feel is fair. Talk about it and see what she says. You are lumping all women together, which I do see as unfair. My husband and I feel that if we see a need around the house, we fill it, regardless of who's "duty" it usually is. So, sometimes I do laundry and sometimes he does it. Maybe your problem is that you don't complain enough (she can't know you are unhappy unless you tell her)....shoot, start complaining! Good luck and have a nice day as well.

well you sound like you are handy to have around...but i am not one of your list...i would not let you do the laundry or clean my house..i do that myself.. i would let you barbecue since i am not good at it.. i have this friend that i think is nothing but a gripe myself.. i do nothing wrong but work and watch grandkids and the things i have already listed.. and he gripes cause i have friends that come here to check their email and when i am working i work until i get it done..and that leaves him home doing nothing...and so i am tired a lot.. well maybe i liked him more at first but i do not like someone crying over spilled milk..but maybe you just got the wrong woman.. i am not a womans liberal or anything.. i have been in abusive marriages and i do not want to argue or be griped at , at all...so and yes we did go through childbirth and i had all boys that have the temper of their dad and stepdad...i do not need anyone with a temper..enjoy life while we can...but i see your point..but i like being on the computer and i love having my friends and grandkids and i do not want someone to try to control me now..i am not even engaged to this guy..so what are you going to do about your problem...talk to her and tell her how you feel.. she is the wife and mother and she should act like one...and you do 85 percent of the cooking and all the shopping....what does she do?????????well you got to get her priorities straight or you will be wore out..

as a woman i think your being a bit harsh. you forgot the part about her full time job, taking care of the kids and the million other things she does. give the lady a break. if you are tired of doing all the things you do, then don't. the world won't stop because the house didn't get cleaned.

maybe you should also try taking your wife out to dinner. a change of pace will do you both a world of good.

WOW!!! sounds like someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I'm sorry to hear about all the problems. BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT, SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT FOR A MARRIED MAN!! Gotta love the "INSTIUTION" of marriage.. Yes, my (ex)husband and I were living together before we got married, and he wouldn't marry me because he said I b**ched too much...so, I did the only other thing a female could do ~~ and I got pregnant!! Oh,be quiet. That was so wrong, RIGHT??!! oh, well. it was a done deal

well for one thing if men didn't pretend they care and actually did care maybe we wouldn't be so gripey and if you work that many hours maybe she would like it if you spent some time with her that's very important in a marriage she probably misses you and wants some attention i know i do from my hubby when i don't see him much and then you think the computer is worth more of your time then she is men are such pig headed jerks they never see a women's point of view also think there right about everything and know everything!!!!!!

You're obviously wipped. Sucks to be you. If you had a spine you might not have such a naggy wife.

its simple. because they have a constant need for attention. they just want to dominate for a bit, because in the outside world there is no such thing as equality of the sexes.
