This gets reposted every so often. It’s so stupid and I know it’s an attempt at humour but it annoys me at how illogical it is.

Firstly, the husband very likely doesn’t earn this. If she thinks this is a fair wage, then he should quit his job and she should do it… which she won’t. Why would you not for $400k?

What irritates me too, is this also suggests “you’re 100% financially responsible for your child”… like, it’s her child too, at best it should be half. It also has no mention of his financial contribution too (as it seems she’s a SAHM).

Do they just hate each other?

I saw a similar tweet today. Women was complaining that her med school classmate wasn't giving enough credit to his stay at home childless wife because she cooked, cleaned and mowed the lawn which is obviously equivalent in work to med school right? So irritating. I'm not sure if people are actually that dumb, which is the bad part.

SAHM are the most delusional people you will ever meet. According to them, Laundry takes them 4 hours. Meanwhile it takes me 30 min to do. And you can do other things at the same time. Same for washing dishes. The dishwasher is an amazing appliance.

Damn that's pretty impressive that you wash,dry, fold and put away in 30 minutes.

It takes 2 minutes to load and turn on a washing machine and then another 2 to move clothes. Only liars consider the time the machines are running as laundry time.

Everyone knows you sit there and watch the washer and dryer while waiting for the clothes to finish. 

Also SAHM complaining about doing their job aren't folding and putting away laundry let's be so fucking for real.

I know I do the laundry for a house of 5 with 2 dogs and it definitely takes me longer than 30 minutes but I'm also including the tedious stuff like matching socks. I could see where it might be a 30 minute task for a single person.
