imo household chores is called 'life'.

i may not be bringing in money atm, but am working all day nonetheless. yes, i can take a coffee break when i want, but my 'job' has no office hours, no weekends, no official leave, no year-end bonus. i have no colleagues to congratulate me when i do something well, nor an underling to shout at when things need to get done haha.

my 'job' starts when my eyes open in the morning and finishes when they close at night. the one thing i have always expected the husband to do is take the rubbish out, whether i'm working or not. he can barely remember to do that. i wash the dishes, cook the supper, clean the house, look after the kids, even mow the lawn... to top it all off i am no martha stewart. housework is really not my thing. he did buy me a dishwasher to ease the load tho LOL

jobs can come and go. they fulfill a lovely role of providing money, but there are many ways to make money. but you have to clean your living space no matter who's coming for dinner and your spouse should be the one who will be with you until the day you die. both should be cared for and nurtured every day... _that's_ life. that's _life_.

glad to hear you had a good valentine's
