    One poster thinks that Women are to blame for men being lazy and selfish (the mother and the wife!) and another poster thinks Women who don't work outside the home aren't using their brains. Charming.

    So the general consensus is that a Woman is to blame for Men being lazy pigs? Don't Men have any freewill then? Do they just blindly follow what Women teach them to do?

    Gosh, if only I'd realised sooner that I had the power to control Men's minds.

    Apparently, you have to treat them like dogs.

    I think that many men have been brought up with their mothers waiting on them and so for them that's normal. Like most people men enjoy being waited on. Why would they change? Some women even thinks it's acceptable as men deserve it as a 'reward' for working.

    My comment about 'using her brain' was specific about my DD2. She chooses to wait hand and foot on my SIL and spend her days cleaning, shopping and socialising with friends. I think that's a waste. Others may think she's got it made!

    Incidentally, I don't intend my comments to be anti-men. It could apply the other way around but that wasn't OP's question.

    I laughed myself silly the day my toddler son asked me indignantly what I was doing with "Daddy's hoover".:rotfl:
