Pick-me women / #NotLikeTheOtherGirls General

Yeah this lady either has a nanny+housekeeper or doesn't have kids. Wake up whenever you want??? Kids decide when you wake up, lol. Have hot meals whenever you feel like it? Nah, you're feeding the kids first and then yourself, if you're lucky you get to sit down to eat and the food is still warm. Also have to cook something the kids will like and can eat at whatever age they are at and not "whatever you want". Go hiking and sightseeing whenever you want?! No, your live now revolves around the kids schedule. Take it easy when you're sick? Lol forget about it, you still have to do everything you always do because there isn't anyone who will take your place unlike at work.

Must be nice to be rich and being a mom just means you sometimes cuddle your kids while someone else does all the work. I'm sure more women would chose this life if that's what it was really like.

I feel like most people misunderstand the whole woman stays at home, while the man works dynamic. It used to be that way back in the day because being a mother was a hard, thankless job, with far less resources for helping to raise children than are available in the current year. Now a days, with both parents working, kids are being raised by their technology and the school system more than anything else.

If you are woman who is in a financial situation where you can spend more time with your kids, then take full advantage of that. Don't just go "oh quirky lil me, I get to sip my tea and watch Netflix, and sometimes acknowledge my children existing."
 
I don't wear any make-up and don't use any filters, I drink 24 beers a day and work as a construction crane. Would any guy even like me?! 😔

This is me, if you even care. 👉👈

I think people often underestimate the grandparent effect and just how much otherwise non-productive seemingly excess family members can really contribute. Even in ye olde trad toimes the women and mensch alike were all working the equivalent of 10 hour days, pawning off the sproglets on grandma is a real force multiplier.
 
Sounds like she's financially privileged enough that she doesn't have to actually care for her kids and can just hire a nanny. Which is exactly what all the tradthots who are well-off do.

SAHMs who have to actually care for their kids have a much different perspective.
I read that last screenie twice before I realised she wasn't one of these 'cat moms' but appeared to be LARPing that she had live human offspring. She needs to do her research to maintain this LARP.

Today I woke up at 5.30am after two hours' sleep to listen to a chronically anxious man's work problems. When he was eventually persuaded to shower, brush teeth, handed clothing etc. the children had appeared. A round of meals was produced for them.
Turns out one dog touched a little too much grass yesterday and ate it, so entire floor of dogs' room had to be scraped, powerwashed, bleached, powerwashed, dried. Dog beds powerwashed, bleached, powerwashed. Dogs shampooed and hosed off into the bargain.
Laundry. The laundry never ends. I am not even quite sure where it is all coming from at this point. I am sure I washed some of this shit only yesterday.
Scout troop organising business.
Morning snacks.
Teddy bear weekly wash round.
Literacy and numeracy homeschooling work, since the school blows and they have to have home education as well.
Fucking cleaning the fucking bathrooms. At least the dogs have the decency to generally shit outside rather than on the floor. No, the children are not responsible for that.
Clean kitchens, living room, drawing room. Change beds.
Round of lunches to be prepared. "It was pasta yesterdayyyy" yes and it's pasta today because dinner comes with potatoes.
More numeracy. Minecraft multiplayer bullshit for an hour as it is alleged I "promised". Doubt it but I'm not a welcher.
Early dinner prep. FYI due to dietary restrictions I can't eat any of the meals I have prepared today, and I am currently on a fourth can of Coke Zero and six cold and flu capsules.
Bedlinen is on. More Scout troop org business since some clown decided fathers' camp should happen this year. Obviously the fathers planning to attend have done zero org for it but in the interests of the children having clothes and food, I'll handle it.
About to do dinner prep and into oven. Then bedlinen laundry, once again around kitchen, answer husband's work emails, rewrite his paper for conference. Then listen to maybe three hours of man work problems. Then sexual services.
Then hopefully fucking sleep and get up tomorrow to same bullshit but added church services.

You know, when I went to work, they paid me. And I also got to leave. I also had a nice secretary who made me tea.

edit: lmao she talks about taking it easy when she's sick. We are day five of some foul cold and I assure you no one has offered assistance yet
 
Half that shit is completely unnecessary, some people just like to wallow in misery. If someone is old enough to learn a scout handshake, they can clean up dog puke. My wife gets 15 minutes each day of my undivided attention to talk about whatever floats her boat. Three hours? That's someone who can't set healthy boundaries.

My bad, didn't realize this was the salon. That sucks babe, I'm sorry to hear that.

My little children are not going to clean dog shit. What the fuck sort of childless moid nonsense is that. Get a hold of yourself. I am the adult. Whatever happens with the dogs is my responsibility.

As for the rest, I have access to approximately 50p in the world at this point in time. It is Tuesday. If you know how I can feed three kids and some dogs off 50p until next Monday, kindly advise. Otherwise I will have to continue to share the marital bed and yes, therefore be woken in the night to be talked shit at, or else he will not give me any money. Yes, this has been done before, yes, all the family knows he does this, no they do not do anything. Yes, it is quite legal to have one's own salary paid into one's own account.

Go and play 'no true Scotsman' elsewhere, I have enough to be doing.

@Lidl Drip Apparently human adult males can "miss" when shitting, or begin to shit before the anus is above the toilet. I am genuinely baffled, but that's definitely shit, and he admits it's his. I am beyond understanding it. My mother in law confirms he was able to shit in a toilet when he lived with her, and also brush his teeth.
 
Well hopefully neither you or your husband give the children beatings for no reason.

Gorl... It would be terrible if you took out a large life insurance policy on him and he had a terrible drunk fishing accident on a boat and was never seen again sometime in the near future.
