We’ve been looking for a larger house for a while now so while I was walking to the park with my daughter today I was really excited to see a beautiful old house for sale. It’s only a couple blocks from our place now, well made (over 100 years old) GORGEOUS!! So, when we are [...]
I had to double up on this post – It started out just about this crazy Scarface video but as soon as I posted it I saw this other story that I had to weigh in on. Read on -
This is one of those videos I laugh at and then I look around and make sure know one saw me laugh at it. It’s hysterical and horrifying at the same time. Oh Fudge you – you probably laughed too. Have you guys seen this kiddie style Scarface play? Although it looks like it takes place on the stage of an elementary school it’s not an actual school play. It’s the work of director Marc Klasfeld and Rockhard Films — who did the videos for Lady Gaga’s “Pokerface” and Adam Lambert’s “For Your Entertainment.” It was produced in LA within the last few weeks and the audience members were a mix of cast family members, colleagues and friends. As for mini- Tony and his co-stars, they were selected through a casting agent known for finding child actor look-alikes for adult stars. Loved the fake scar.
OK – I have to admit I watch the Dr. Phil show, once in a while he really brings up something interesting and SOMETIMES he even says something I can turn around and use to prove a point to my husband (he hates when I say, Dr Phil says:) – yesterday he talked about something that had me rolling on the floor. Some retarded male researcher claims that woman have and extra 30-40 hours of leisure time a week.
Time-use researcher John Robinson is needling moms with the assertion that they aren’t working as many hours as they think they are, according to The Washington Post Magazine. He says his data shows that Americans are working fewer hours than they did 20 years ago.
As you can imagine the woman on the show were fired-up – I tried to add up an hour of leisure time a day and had a hard time coming up with more than 10 minutes a day that I wasn’t doesn’t something. Blogger, Amy Hatch from Parentdish.com disagtrees vehemently and writes a great article expressing her point of view, but it wasn’t her article but the comments it received that got my attention. Here are some of the more interesting comments from some of those men who could never in a million years do what a mom does for a day much less for a week: (Don’t miss the video at the end HILARIOUS!!!)
Get the kids up for school? Oh my! That must take all of 10 seconds out of your day. Do the laundry? Wow! Because it’s not like we have machines that wash the clothes for you….
I’m so sick of women complaining about how touch it is to be a mom and how they’re soooo busy with the kids all day long and making beds ALL DAY LONG.
Give me a break. The kids go off to school and you sit your fat, lazy asses on the couch watching Oprah, soap operas, and reality television with a case of ice cream. Sometimes you’ll get off your asses do run “errands” (shopping for clothes with your husband’s money), but for the most part, you have it about 100 times easier than your husband will ever have it.
Now I’m not saying it’s wrong. A wife has to be keeping up the home and making sure the kids get picked up at school and so forth, because this is a role that should never be filled by nannies or hired help, but at the same time, don’t complain about not having enough time in the day to relax or act like being a mom is toughest job you can do in the world.
Hold On … Just because you women out yourselves in bad situations..do not generalize people.
I am a “GUY”, who wakes up at 6:30am, drives an hour to work so Ic an work from 7:30am-5pm. I get home and take care of my son (3months old) the entire night (by myself) until my wife gets home at Midnight. I then have to get up at 3am-4am when the baby gets up…and then go back to sleep for 2 hours.
I do the vaccuming, cleaning, and keep up with the house…and on Weekends… I am withthe baby 24/7.Maybe you “women” need to know what its like to have the pressure of being the “man” to provide and keep a househould running!!!!!
PS: sitting on your couch watching soap operas while your baby sits there ….doesn’;t count as “watching the kid”.
I agree with the research. I see 67% of woman think they do not have the time but it all comes down to Multi tasking… You can do laundry at the same time you run the dishwasher and mop the floor or make the bed…. Stay away from the TV!!! that will sap all your time away and make you think you are out straight. I know this because I was laid off for 10 Months and would love to be a stay at home dad. it was awesome! during this time I built a deck… Built a attic entrance.. finished all my home projects… My garage is organized. My yard was top notch. I still had a ton of me time to!!! I also rode my ATV around withg my son. Fishing ETC…. Now im back to work and it was fun while it lasted.
He did do his part by supporting your fat ass. He shouldn’t have to mow the lawn. He works his ass off everyday to keep a roof over your head and all you can complain about is how he doesn’t help you do YOUR job. Get your lazy ass off the couch and make sure the clothes are clean and the house isn’t too dirty. Then maybe the least you could do, after he’s spent all day torturing himself at work just for you, then you could take 30 minutes out of your day to have something ready for him to eat when he gets home. And don’t bark and whine at him when he gets home which is the one place he has been waiting all day to get back to, only to fine he’s in another hell separate from his work.
Get over it. So you go out and buy some tennis shoes for your kid here, throw some clothes in the laundry there….. 30 hours of free time a week is a gross underestimation. Any woman that says she is stressed out or never has enough free time does it to herself.
