This is supposed to be heartwarming but honestly, how much "housework" does she really have to do compared to the work at his job? The kid probably goes to public school during the day and there are only three of them in total so how much "housework" is there compared to 50-60 hour/week job? She's bitter and unkind to him and expects to be treated like an entitled idle princess where she doesn't have to do anything.
I guess she's happy now because she's guaranteed more money in the divorce.
@Prinzinc first of all it takes lots of time to prepare meal, handle all chores and with a child its energy draining . In office you have to do one person work but in home you have to do work of all three. So i hope you understand
@Dolma Sherpa No, I don't understand. How many meals are you making when everyone is gone all day except you? How dirty is the house getting during the day when it's just you in it? In an office, you have to work with a lot more people than that, even more if you are in a customer service industry.
I own my own home, run my own business, I have 6 kids whom I homeschool and I cook and I clean. I know exactly how much effort is required for each of these things and you won't convince me that cooking and cleaning for 1 child who is at school most of the day and 1 husband who is at work most of the day is even close to the effort of working 50-60 hours per week in an office. I spent the better part of my morning today cooking breakfast and lunch from scratch for 9 people (grandparents were over) and answering phone calls for my business at the same time and you know what I wouldn't do? I wouldn't be bitter and unkind to my wife just because she needed a day off.
@Prinzinc housework is a lot of physical burden, office work is slight physical with a lot of mental burden. They both have their struggles, though I do hate her just venting all the time😂
@Astratrinity Making more money isn't going to solve her attitude problems, it's only going to make it worse. This story presents money as the solution to her rotten personality and we all know that it's a lie.
@Prinzinc I feel like you are lying about having six kids and how it's not much work...unless you are one of those parents that forces the older kids to act like parents to the younger kids.
Also homeschooling too? Yikes, that reminded me of that terrible reality TV family that tried to convince people they were great and holy for having a ton of kids-the Duggars? Is that your life? Are the older kids allowed to go out with friends or do they have to "help" the younger kids with their schooling and meals.
@TOTCF You can think whatever you want to think; it's the internet after all and I have no reason to be invested in if anonymous strangers believe me or not. It's funny how your perspective is so distorted to think that having 6 kids is somehow similar to having 19 kids or somehow that requiring your older kids to learn how to help take care of the younger kids is somehow a bad thing. Unlike this story, we don't require the father (me) to do everything in the entire household. Everyone pulls their own weight and contributes to helping the family out. That's why I can actually make two meals from scratch ingredients as opposed to plopping milk and cereal in front of the kids because I can trust the older kids to keep the youngest ones from hurting themselves or burning the entire house down the second I look away. And it's not like it's not work to take care of 6 kids, run a business, cook and clean but it's perfectly manageable with two people (and 1 in a pinch) and I know exactly how much work it is which is why I'm not convinced by the gaslighting when we are talking about a single child and a 3 person household.
@Prinzinc oh g** making cereal and korean dishes with banchan are different. Just because you the man dont struggle doesnt mean you invalidate others feelings . And she is not giving attitude just because its because he didn't keep his promise. And he can enjoy with his collegue by drinking but she has no time to do that . Yes both of them got their struggles
@Dolma Sherpa You didn't read what I wrote, you skimmed it which is why you didn't read the part where I said that I was making food from scratch NOT tossing cereal out. Also, drinking after work is often a requirement of networking in Korean culture regardless if you like it or not. It's so bad that people die in Korea from it. Her feelings are evil because she wields them as an excuse to hurt her husband's feelings which she doesn't care about. If she doesn't care about his feelings, why should he care about hers? Regardless of youthful and irrational promises made, nobody should sit idle like a princess without contributing as it will absolutely destroy your marraige and make you enttiled and bitter. It's also evil to treat one person in the family like a slave.
