...with your wife?
A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home.
He wanted her to see what he went through so he Prayed:
"Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through, so please allow her body to switch with mine for a day.
Amen.
God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish.
The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman
He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, drove them to school, came home and picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaners and stopped at the bank to make a deposit, went grocery shopping, then drove home to put away the groceries, paid the bills and balanced the checkbook.
He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog.

Then it was already 1 P.M. and he hurried to make the beds, do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor.
Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home. Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework, then set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing.
At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper.
After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed.
At 9 P.M. he was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint.
The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said: Lord, I don't know what I was thinking. I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day.

Please, oh please, let us trade back."
The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied: "My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were.
You'll just have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant last night."
Comments, ladies?

Even if this was just a joke, I will try to answer this logically and sincerely.
If I got pregnant and had to be housewife for 9 months, that would still be infinitely easier than being housewife for the rest of my life.
During those nine months, my wife will also appreciate the rigors of my work, so that when we are able to switch back to normal, she would be more appreciative of my problems, no matter how little compared to her daily concerns. Still, that helps.
During the nine months of my pregnancy, I could try and play difficult and ask him for things I crave for. like some pregnant women do. Or say I am having a difficult pregnancy and I can't move around the house too much - - - that will be some reprieve. If you think about it, that fictitious situation could be quite interesting. Whew!

Ouch! Nine months as a housewife!? That oughta be difficult.
I was raised by my mom, who had been a stay-home wife since I was born, and I admire her very much for being able to finish all the stuff whe does within the span of a day. And amazingly enough, can still manage to get up early the next day. She starts the day early, ends it late.
I can barely imagine my dad doing the stuff she does. If the story you shared here happened to my family, the entire family would be stuck eating burnt food for nine months! :D

who peels potatos, in america we all do the instant potatos, and since i don't have any kids you can mark off all those things that involve children, which is awhole lot, andi pay all the bills myself anyway and balance the checkbook and go by the bank and go grocery shopping, so i guess your little example doesn't really apply to me. Women get the better deal on that, all except for the pregnancy thing, but once that's over, (nine months) the rest of their life, they got the better deal.... and who mows the yard, who works on the car, changes oil, fixes lawn mower, chainsaw, runs tiller? fixes roof, cuts down brush... i guess the women don't do that either.

I don't want to complain because no matter how tiresome the chores in the house i love doing it especially for the people i love..
but then i was so happy coz by then i know he appreciated all i'm doing for him.

A very stereotypical view of "American" man, wife and kids. Or I must be a wife who has the good life and we swap household stuff and kid stuff as we both work.
