I'm so tired of the fawning faux incompetence expressed by so many men when it comes to domestic responsibilities. If you can't imagine raising kids competently, then you shouldn't have had them. Saying things like the above is the sure sign of the sexist jackass who has no real intention of accepting full responsibility for his sperm donees. Now that you do have kids, quit pretending that it's so hard to handle the job, buckle down and learn how to do it right. None of this takes away from my earlier point that most stay-at-home moms are marginally competent at best. Part of the reason they suck so bad at their jobs is that they aren't held to real standards of performance and outcome. And how could we expect them to be held accountable by their husbands? We all know what happens to accountability when a woman is sleeping with the boss.... So, I may not be able to hold my wife accountable, and you may not be able to hold your wife accountable, but we can at least do a little "Throw Momma >From the Train" service for each other by helping to kill the self-congratulatory female meme that full time moms work harder than anyone else and are doing a great job. Your average receptionist deals with more stress, interruptions and infantile behavior than the average mother of three, and she does it a lot better too. And she's probably easier to talk into bed.
