Work used as Excuse

Mostly it’s men, who use work- from morning til evening to excuse themselves for doing jack at home. I tell my husband whether his kids and wife wait at home or alone, he has to work anyway, so he’s not doing anyone a favor. The house is under his name and we have a pre-up. I’ve told him, I’m more than happy to go to work while he stays home taking care of our children. But that’s a no- way for him.

After a year of maternity leave with our first child, I went back to work- shift hours. When I got home, I cleaned the messes that were left.
