What if men had the life of a housewife?

[ProjectParticipant 507]

I have for the most part heard that the life of a housewife is hard and all that and opressing. It got me thinking what would if the roles were reversed

If you could in another life, have the life of a housewife, staying at home, cleaning it, cooking at taking care of the kids.

Would you complain and try to get out of this role?

Most Men would be bored, because they would be done with the cooking, cleaning, laundry etc., and be back from the gym daily by noon.

I would refuse to do house work. I would watch tv all day. The tv would tell me that men are oprressing me and I should assert my female empowrerment by not cooking dinner.

Ide make a great modern day house wife!

And no sex. I have a headache.

I wonder if the common perception of the housewife has outlived its reality? What comprises housework today? Robots that vacuum the floor, non-iron clothes that are clean at the press of a button, food assembly that passes for cooking (well, microwaving), etc. Did I miss anything?

We single men do have the life of a housewife during our hours off from work.
And if we were to marry, THAT would disappear. It would be filled Relentlessy by the wife.
“NO REST FOR YOU”. They are “Time Nazis” as well.

It wouldn’t work long term. She has to see you as the provider, not the carer. If she is the provider she will resent it and look down on you. Eventually you will be dumped for a better provider. There is no such thing as Gender Neutral relationships.

Yeah, I wonder how long it would take before I got bored?
I could do it if I got an allowance! I’d clean the f~~~ out of the house, then hit the gym for an hour or two, be back in the afternoon in time for prepping dinner, and getting all sexed up for my wife…LMAO.
The only problem is I don’t think I’d find a woman who would like this arrangement. And…perhaps this arrangement would make me feel like her ‘bitch’, which would rub up against my manliness.

As a side note: to this day I believe my ex-GF resented me being so good around the house. She never told me (before I kicked her out) but I have a feeling she did. Or she felt threatened because everything she could do I did, but much better. Why? Because I am a Man. Huzzah!

There are some house husbands in my nighborhood.I try not judge, but I see them pushing the babby stroller down the street..

What, clean sheets, mop floors, do the laundry, cook, clean? That kind of work?

I already do that and much much more on two homes hours apart!

And I still have the greatest life a man could ask for!

So when it cums to house wives?

One robot model please, otherwise I’ll do it myself!

F~~~ the matriarchal home! I’m not having it! Unless she’s 18v cordless.

Soon as the kids are old enough to go off to school its practically like early retirement.

Yep. I don’t think I could do it. I’d end up filling in the boredom by picking up some addictive habits. Then I’d start slacking off the work…having dinner ready, etc.

Honestly, thinking about it this way. It’s no wonder that divorce rate is so high, even without cash prizes. Back in the day, there was more house work to be done, and fewer addictive habits to fall into. It was harder to fall into dissatisfaction and think that divorce was the answer to your misery.

Ok. Then do it.

Not with wifey that is, but remember all the tales we hear about on this forum about the wife cheating? Now it would be your turn to turn the tables if you were in that role.

Before my ex wife decided she needed to get back on the carousel she hadn’t worked for 6 years. When the children were at school full time she dropped them off at 9:00AM and picked them up at 3:15PM. That gave her 6 hours a day to herself, yet the house was always a mess and she never cooked me dinner. What did she do in that six hours, I have no idea but I suspect it involved sitting around the house watching TV and messaging Facebook Chads.

So basically she didn’t clean or cook for me and she was always too tired/ill/stressed for sex. I paid all the bills, looked after the cars, did all the gardening and the housework as well as working full time.

When she checked out of the marriage and decided she wanted to get back on the carousel she spent most of her time at the gym, buying new clothes and hanging out with her friends.

If I was a house husband the house would have been immaculate, cars washed and serviced, grass cut twice a week and still I would have had time to prepare dinner every night. For women it just gives them too much time to think and wonder if this is all there is to life. They then dream of their party carousel years and the seed is planted, there is no going back from it then as it is all they can think about.

For women, everything eventually boils down to Alpha Fucks, Beta Bucks.

The sad thing is that most men my age, early 20’s, have dealt with this bulls~~~. We either split the chores or do them ourselves. We’ve found out that all this crying and bellyaching done by women isn’t that bad. In fact, I can work a 70 hour work week and still keep my house well kept, clean, and food cooked. So why does it take a woman so long to do such simple s~~~.

Feminism is a movement where opinions are presented as facts and emotions are presented as evidence.

My ex W was the same. It was easier for me to do the easy chore myself. (they are all easy).
She’d go through the roof; like I was supposed to kiss her ass to do stuff she’d always done before. Don’t recall her kissing my ass to get me to go to work.

Being a housewife now is just an excuse to lay around all day for most wives. A long time ago, a house wife was some work but no house wife has ever worked as hard as a man. It’s not a comparison.
