Dear Mom
Thanks for taking care of Dad. I know he can be a pain but if it wasn't for you the trash would have never been taken out. I'm sorry for not helping around the house but It was hard for me to because I had no feet. Oh, Mom thanks for cooking but you know I couldn't because I had no hands.
I just wish I could be normal, taking care of those who I loved.
Thanks for all you've done
AND NEVER COMPLAINED!!!!!

Most husbands think so!! They think that once they are married they don't have to do anything for themselves, anymore. You are expected to cook, clean house, do the laundry, grocery shop, take care of the kids and do all the carpooling. Oh yeah, and any other misc. errands that may come up, such as taking the car for repairs, doctors appointments, baking for parties at school and church, volunteering to work at all the functions that are involved with the kids or the rest of the family and a million other little things "that will only take you a few minutes to do." The best part is you get to do all this because he works 8 hours a day!! So, he has to come home and kick back in the recliner because he is tired. Sound about right, ladies?

Do you enjoy preparing 3 meals a day, cleaning, caring for the kids, and taking out the trash? Does your husband appreciate you and all that you do? If the answer to both questions is yes then you are not a slave. If the answer is no, then you need to have a serious discussion with your hubby.

He should help you clean the house and take care of the kids. He should take out the trash himself.
What a good husband wants is respect. You can show him respect by listening to him when he talks and doing everything reasonable that he asks you to do. What causes trouble is when you and he define 'reasonable' a lot differently.
You can train him to be a standup kind of guy if you work at it, in most cases. If you think he does not deserve your respect in some area, try to still show respect and nudge him to your way of thinking, without being obvious about it.

Even if he is working, you both should share the house hold responsiblities 50/50. Do not let a man turn your life into a cinderella story gone wrong, it is not worth it. You only get to live this life once, you should talk to him and tell him that this is too much for you to handle and that he should take half of the household responsibilities. If this does not work, then you all should get counseling. I am not a fan of divorce unless the woman is getting beat or there is cheating but you should not be unhappy every day of your life. It is wayyy too short.

Sounds like you are a wife who lets him get by with too much. You are a submissive wife,time to get him up and let him get some EXERCISE!!!! He can help and hey by the way,if the kids are over 3 yrs old,they can help a little bit too ok? Let them "help" Dad with some of the stuff too,while you take a bubble bath and watch the candles flicker

If you are doing all this for your husband, he should be handing over his paycheck to you. If he won't and you go to work, things might be more equal - or you might end up doing everything.
Some women like this arrangement - but if you are feeling like a slave, you are probably being treated like a slave. Trust your feelings.
But don't get mad - get even.

3 square meals with snacks in between, A mother to take care of him, A nanny to deal with the kids and A hore in the bedroom. I don't understand why men are the way they are but God knows we couldn't live without them.

I don't really care for David Chapelle, but I once heard his stand- up routine...he was ragging on the "ladies" magazines. Ya know, with subject matter like, "101 ways to please your man".
David's response was, "Ladies, there aren't 101 ways, only 4...*#@ his *#@, play with his *#@s, make him a sandwich, and don't talk so damn much." I just about fell over! To those offended, sorry for the vulgarity. I "bleeped" it all, but you get the picture!
