I don't want to give the impression it's all negative. She has just brought me a beer from the fridge without me asking her to. She is a love. She didn't pour it for me though. I coughed whilst I poured it just to let her know she had done half a job

Re: Lazy women

I'm not lazy, full time single mum, work 8 - 5.30 3 days a week, cooking, cleaning, washing, shopping,
D.I.Y etc, and entertaining my little dude, so I suggest give your wife a kick up the bum for bringing disgrace to women kind

Re: Lazy women

I'm 57 tomorrow, work full time and have done for over thirty years having worked part time when my children were very small, run a home and have brought up three children, I wouldn't call myself lazy, and I'm sure there are millions of women in my situation. Unfortunately for the men who think they have a built in servant as a wife/partner, things moved on in 1973 when women got equal rights. I'd love to stay at home and wait on my partner hand and foot and be a happy housewife, but the reality is unfortunately different - so gentlemen, pour your own beer, do your own ironing, help with the cleaning and children or alternatively earn enough to enable your other half to look after you - if she wants to that is, and doesn't want a life of her own!

So Anne would you say all women are as hard working as yourself or do you think the majority of women are indeed lazier and it's the minority such as yourself who are hard working?

Since my last post my dearest has gone to the local Indian takeaway. She forgot my naan bread bless her

Congratulations on your degree Anne. Was it in Home Economics?

You need to put a bigger worm on your hook.

Not a good comparison, Honey Bee Queens, can live more than two years, drones a month or two, worker bees have an avarage life span of 6 to 8 weeks.

Re: Lazy women

I am unfortunate enough to have to look after my wife night and day due to her illness and maybe I am going against my gender but now I realize just how hard working she was.
Not only did she work but came home to cook, wash and clean for me, even clean my boots for work and made my breakfast as I was getting up.


I have had a crash course in using the microwave and found a quick route to a chippy, I know how to make a bed and wash up. Luckily I can afford a cleaner twice week, something we didn't have when she worked.

I am not crawling to the females on here, just stating a fact.

A bigger worm would be good I get lots of mail in my junk box from folks offering bigger worms; so, it shouldn't be all that difficult to get one.

Well said Gremlin and congratulations on your honesty.

My partner has found much the same thing recently as he has been doing much of the things I normally do but can't at the moment due to illness. He now realises what goes on to keep things running smoothly at home. And he's doing a fulltime job as well. I'm eternally grateful to him for taking on these tasks but it doesn't stop me getting cross at him when he comes home with the wrong shopping or doesn't understand when I tell him how to cook something. Roll on the day when I can get back to normal and at least give the house a good clean - fancy looking forward to something as mundane as that!

No....Noooooo! Eric...don't want a bigger one of those kind of worms......(besides, I thought they were called bed snakes.......I have a bed bat that deals with those very nicely).
I meant the kind of worm that baits hooks that anglers use........I fear Claytoner is doing a bit of hooking.......but unless he uses better bait he will have nothing worth eating for tea.
