Exactly, the feminazi's want men to be depressed fat nothings. Maybe if more women back-when were allowed to drive and balance the check book would they still be so femi nazi?

[longtermmemmory]

the feminists (those who lead the female studies programs) are not interested in anything short of de-balling (and if you read Martha Burk's crap they mean that literally) all men. The want all men/boys catagorized as mentally deficient.

Chemistry and sex are easy.

True love is when someone holds your head lovingly or brings you a puke bucket and STAYS when you are puking your guts out whether it is from the flu, being drunk, or dying from cancer.

damn, I wish I had said that.

No he didn't. However, I think my sister-in-law is a harder worker than my brother ever was.

When the kids were in school, she would get up and leave the house by 6:30-7am, so that she could be home when they were out of school.

She also still cooked most of the dinners. She worked and did much around the house.

I have to really commend her. I don't think most working dads participate in their kids upbringing as much as she did.

It's much better to date and stay single. Sex is available, companionship is available, and it doesn't put your wealth at risk.

Ugh...

On a lighter side... :0) If I were the full time only bread winner, the garage would be stripped of paint for 3 years (I'll GET TO PAITING THAT WHEN THE WEATHER IS JUST RIGHT SOMEDAY) Dinner would be the same every night and he would be getting drunk 24/7 with the laid off from work neighbor. I think it would get old... quick...

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

Uggggggh is right. No grand children, no one when you are old and suddenly finding God for real.

[k2blader]

I was thinking more along the lines of "Ugh... male sluts...", but yours work as well. :-)

"Fortunately, the situation has been resolved..."

So, how IS single life?

In the photo he looks a little like Kim Jong Il.

WHY is that?

I think the whole thing revolves around "guilt" for me. I grew up with a Mom that stayed home until later years.....so I was instilled with the "Mommy" thing. I was a teen during the 60's/70's when women were declaring their independence, as well. Lordy.... talk about mixed signals! The hubby wanted to be boss (because that's how it was) but enjoyed the fact we had extra $$...because I worked. After 25 yrs... we had alot of "stuff" and no relationship. The kids survived.... I just don't know how. (or don't remember *chuckle*)

Both kids were angry because I was never home.....hubby was angry because he wanted a perfect house and family.....with lots of toys... and somehow I felt obligated to "fix" it all. I burned out and left when the last chick flew the coop. They all wondered....."What's wrong with Mom?" Arrrrrrrrrgh! Women's Lib ruined more than it fixed... and GUYS.....as well as gals.... swallowed the propaganda that women could have all and be all. What a lie.

[LaineyDee]

I'm with ya Sis and been there. I did 60hr weeks for years. It seemed that someone always needed something....so I'd pick up an extra shift or two. I look back now and see that it wasn't worth it. I should have said......"Your the Daddy and I'm the Mommy.....now you go to work. If you don't.....we'll get a divorce". *chuckle*

[Xenalyte]

Xena's Guy and I have discussed it, and we're leaning toward him being the stay-at-home parent should we ever have anklebiters - mostly because he's not as contact-driven as I am. He's proven that he can work (or not) from home and be okay with it; my 2½ weeks of unemployment was hell on us both.`

[pave palestine]

The mere fact that people don't snicker at the term "soccer dad" is further evidence of the dire situation of American manhood.

[pave palestine]

The proper term is "hamburger pimp."

[shaggy eel]

I'm loyal, I'm just not domesticated.

,,, put the old fashioned simple way, you haven't found the right woman yet.
