Why are men always downtrodden and 'henpecked'?

I think it is relevant. If I had a job that was 100x more stressful than my partner and paid 3x what my partner earned, I would be disappointed if she expected us to do 50% of the housework each.

I'm not; what you posted here is completely relevant to the OP; ATM, I feel that it's unfair to criticise one partner over the other if one doesn't know the full story.

Well I think I know my family dynamic better than you

Too bad you couldn't explain it better than you should; they are after all your family.

Um, what? I don't particularly owe you an explanation of the details of my family, I don't want to go into my relationship with my father in detail with a stranger. Also it's half 2 in the morning.

Ironic that you already did; if you didn't then you don't even need to post here.

Why are you being so rude and mean? I honestly don't understand how I have slighted you??

If you don't know the income of each of your parents, then you are missing out on an important part of the picture though.

You see, governments in divorce split assets 50-50 and assume that if one partner earned more, then the other partner would have made up for it in housework and other chores.

Therefore, if your father does indeed earn more, then it is unfair to blame him for expecting your mother to work more.

Nope. Not rude at all. I was pointing out something that's obvious.

This really. I don't think she sees the bigger picture.

You were being rude



Yeah, I'm just stupid you see

No surprising coming from a person who's unfairly criticising her own dad on a public forum.

So you personally know my dad do you? You know that my opinion of him is unfair? Okay this may be news to you but people can have parents who are flawed.

But yeah I know I am actually stupid and a **** disappointment of a daughter so..

Seriously you're getting way too emotional.

First you've unfairly criticised your dad and opened up your family problems in a public forum.

People asked why, probably wanting to reason with you.

You don't want to talk about it but strongly suggested that your dad is in the wrong.

People try to reason with you, but you suddenly get emotional.

Then gets all hissy fit.

Makes perfect sense.

Again, you assume its unfair.

It's what you wrote is unfair in the eyes of the posters.

Sorry that you feel that way.

I don't think it's unfair that I feel bad for my mum, who may I reiterate, has depression, is the only one in the house who has to do everything without any help.

Are you? Then why are you trying to make me feel bad?

But she doesn't have to be the only one because I'm sure you are there to help and do your share.
