What To Give Wife...

where does this school 'full time' idea come from. All the OP has said is the child is 13. For all we know the 13 year old CHILD may have issues.

Anyway school here is 9am to 12:15 and 13:15 to 15:30. I would say there are very few jobs, if any, that would fit in with these hours.

I wasn't going to respond to this thread, as I am sure the OP is a troll, but had to laugh at the above. There has been no mention of any special needs, therefore I think it is safe to assume there are none. A 13 yr old is quite capable of getting themselves up, dressed, breakfasted and to school, then home again. They would even be capable of doing some chores round the house (if both parents were working).

The OP's wife (assuming she exists, which I doubt) could easily get a full or part time job, without needing to fret about a 13 yr old.

Both my children were taking themselves to and from school AND doing chores at 13.

anyone considered that our new age man Mr Britguy may not allow his wife to work...?

afterall, he considers it his job to go out clubbing the meat and handing out the scraps as he sees fit.

i personally think it right that she works and contributes, but we haven't heard that she doesn't want to, just that she doesn't. i think more info is needed, but i too think the OP is enjoying winding up the MSE masses lol

That isn't a parent's money. That money is the child's. It pays towards their keep. A Govt contribution.

But if he's paying for everything anyway, it saves her giving him the money to pay for the child's stuff, and then him giving money back to her to spend on herself.

My Mum doesn't work and she doesn't have kids at home anymore. They don't need the money (and they do have a 6 bed house actually so it takes a lot of keeping clean). However she has worked a lot in the past, when money was needed more, and when I was younger. She went to University and had her own career as a teacher.
She is not lazy and has a huge amount of self respect for herself. She is not sponging off my Dad. They are a partnership, they share everything, money isn't separated into "his and hers", if they make a big purchase then they would discuss it.

She had cancer and decided that life was too short to work in a job you hate. She now volunteers in a Hospice, keeps an allotment and is happier. So is my Dad. To suggest she is losing self respect or confidence by doing this is extremely insulting.

She could never ever match his earnings due to the career she chose, but that doesn't mean she deserves less money or that she never contributed.

I don't give my partner "pocket money" even though he earns less than me. We share everything.

It is not the fact that she doesn't work that I feel strongly about, it is the fact that this man feels the need to give her a specific amount of pocket money. He says money isn't tight, so why is he doing this. To budget is one thing, but to treat his wife like a child who needs pocket money is disgusting.

You know, some people - particularly on MSE - just seem to hate women. It's like a flashing neon sign of insecurity.

Divorce your wife and set her free.

WOOOOAAAAAAHHHHHHHH THERE Betty!!!!

isn't MSE the official Women's Liberation/Lezzers appreciation site, never known a site to be full of such man hate as this one, with the occassional decent bargain chucked in for good measure.

it's obvious this is one man's plight that is felt up & down the country day in day out by millions of men and will always be there until civilisation ceases to exist.

also for all you mum's who think looking after a child is a full-time job, i think not!
looking after your own child should be a pleasure, not a chore, so don't come out with that rubbish.

perhaps if more men decided to take the easy option out and bum around all day like the millions of housewives/stay at home mum's (who allegedly "do the house" too, big whoopie doo for you!), then perhaps they could instill some discipline in the children and we wouldn't have this chav culture that is ever present in today's society.

so to all you women, thanks for making the elderly scared of going out at night, you should all be ashamed for helping to bring this country to it's knees (quite rightly where you all belong!)

don't hate the player ladies, hate the game!

maybe if some men stuck around and put their children first it wouldn't be left to some women to discipline their children :rolleyes:

you sound a right woman hater and obviously very ignorant to think we have a chav society cause some women don't do housework :rotfl:
