My wife is a lazy dingbat
32% Normal
21 Comments

I work about 60 hours per week. But my wife of 20 years does nothing. She doesnt have a job. She doesnt cook. She does very little cleaning. She doesnt even shop properly for food for the home. I ask her to run an erand and I have to remind her every day for 3-4 weeks before she does it. She seems to find ways to lolligag from one useless preoccupation to another. Then when I come in the door in the evening and ask whats for dinner, she asks "What do you want?" (As if saying what I want would make it miraculously appear, fully cooked and ready to eat at that moment) At which point I can feel my blood vessels in my brain about to burst. She buys takeout about 5 nights per week. I pay the mortgage and insurance and car leases and the kids school and a salary for her widowed mother and the payments on a vacation home I bought for her mother, and on top of that, my wife spends about $1000 per week on random things she claims she needs. The kids rooms are a mess - I often find clothing store bags filled with unopened clothes and change in the bag, under piles of other dirty clothes in their closets. She refuses to direct the kids to do chores, and since she does so little the house is always a mess. She wont even replace burned out light bulbs so about half the bulbs in my house are burned out right now.
Do you think it's normal?

Sounds like you should get rid of her
Has she been like this for 20 years?? If so, why have you put up with all these years?!
Yeah...and....what's the question? Is SHE normal?...yes Are YOU stupid for putting up with it....hell yes!
i really wanted to screw you for the kind of wife you have, but my grandpa is in the same condition. personally i would have sent her to hell long time ago.
Maybe she's just in a 20 year depression.
I'm amazed how you find time to write such a long question while working 60 hours a week so hard. Maybe the time it took to write this (and using words such as "lolligag") would have been better spent trying to put some spark into your wife. Or an axe.
Whats wrong with you??? Sounds like a dream boat. You just keep her happy and appreciate the fact shes with you at all.
So what do you do the other 108 hours every week you lazy git...... tsskkk some people...
'Dingbat'? Language now, there are children about.
'Lolligag'?
Okay, unless you have a friend named Lolli, this post has officially lost my interest.
Let me guess, she has a huge rack, right? With an interesting array of spices, you say? Enthralling.
My cooking skills are limited to toast so she's undoubtedly better than I am. What does she, just buy a box of Sara Lee? You ever read the ingredients on the back of one of those? That company uses more chemicals than Raid.
The only reason for her not leaving the TV for twelve hours straight must've been a soap opera marathon on cable. Confront her.
That badly acted crap is like a slasher movie, one is defined by a body count and the other with a slap count. If a female in any soap opera at any time regardless of circumstances gets even remotely angry, the nearest male will get slapped. Mosquitoes must have nightmares about soap opera stars.
Since, by your expletives of choice I can only conclude you are Andy Rooney, I would say that unless you want to show up at the local Nursing Home's weekly hot tub party sitting in a Corvette honking at the biki-donned 90-year olds playing 'Guess what I forgot' I'd suggest appreciating the obvious trophy you have.
Peace.
Ya know mine used to sit around the house and do nothing all day too, that is, until I bought a whip.
it sounds like u a rich boy lol....look homeboy get rid of her...ir ur married then as her 4 divorce...u got ur reasons and u still young (i think??) so just ask her 4 divorce and get yo self a clean gurls dat does all her shores and haves dinner ready when u get home and takes care of da kids and haves a job and very neat,clean,sensitive,honest,hyper aka very sexually active lol...or just get the gurls of ur dreams in another words....but the best thing to do is get rid of her
You know, I work two jobs from my house. Cook clean, take care of the kids and help my wife who is school and works full time. Life is life. I work 9-5 my first job and 11pm to 5am my second. I sleep 4 hours if I am lucky. If your wife is having issues, wuit your fucking whining and sack up you louse. It takes 1 min to change a light bulb, maybe if you helped her to instead of talking about how much you do, you would be better off.
I think it's time for you to lay it on the line--let her know what you think about the way she's handling thing (or not!:)) and see what she says. Tell her you've had it,and that you won't put up with this kind of sh*t anymore. You shouldn't have to live like that.
I still say buy a Whip !
And Cuffs !
You put up with this for 20 years and are now just comlpaining? I'm sorry chum, but it sounds like you're in a whole that you'll only get out of with two things.

1. Counseling
2. Divorce
SOUNDS LIKE SHE NEEDS A CRACK

KAPPOW
It's normal in my house, that's fo sho.

I use beer and wine to deal with it, to prevent myself from "losing it".

My wife does very little cleaning or cooking. When I get home from work the first thing I have to do is do the all the dishes, empty the dishwasher, empty the sink, clean up the kids rooms, clean up the cat-box, vacuum the floors, wash the floors, fold and put away laundry, start a load of laundry, tidy and arrange the kids stuff from school. Plus feed the cat.

If it's time to go to a sporting event with the kids, I have to dig through mountains of dirty clothes to find the kids sport jersey she didn't have the time or inclindation to put into the laundry basket.

Funny, she does the same thing, buys clothes and leaves them all over the house for weeks in the original bags.

She doesn't work, doesn't do laundry unless asked. Absolutely never does the dishes. Never cleans the catbox. She had a part time job she quit because it was too hard. Aaawww. poor baby.

I pay all the bills, do all the yardwork.

She "plays with the kids and socializes with her friends" to give the kids the "social time they need". Spends hours on the phone.

8 years of this now, I'm going nuts and take anti-depressants to deal with it.

I bring home all the income.

Welcome to the club !!

Now I'm paying for her and her brothers to fight to get a piece of her father's estate.

Well, at least all the work keeps me in shape, while she packs on the pounds doing nothing. Stay fit, dude, and watch her expand ha ha.
lite a firecracker in the crack of her ass--this will give you great pleasure.
she sounds like the typical American western woman. Self-centered, lazy, ungrateful, money/thing oriented, superficial, dis-respectful. But the government and all that feminist crap in the US give women too much leverage. GIve a woman leverage and she will abuse it usually. Like in your case. A woman needs to respect the husbands authority as head of household. She should not complain or nag. Rather she should just do it because you are her husband with no complaints. A woman dosne't have a right to complain about her husband becaue if you give the power to them to do that they will do it forever. The government gives them too much power in family, bank, and divorce issues. No wonder your country has 50% divorce rate
I know exactly how you feel - my (ugh) wife is the same way. That's why in a couple years, I'm ending this. Why in a couple years? Simple, the youngest will be out of high school.
