Why I wouldn't swap jobs with my wife

[DaveInOz]

One afternoon a man came home from work to
find total mayhem in his house. His three
children were outside, still in their
pyjamas, playing in the mud, with empty
food boxes and wrappers strewn all around
the front yard.

The door of his wife's car was open, as was
the front door to the house. Proceeding
into the entry, he found an even bigger
mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the
throw rug was wadded against one wall.

In the front room the TV was loudly blaring
a cartoon channel, and the family room was
strewn with toys and various items of
clothing.

In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink,
breakfast food was spilled on the counter,
dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken
glass lay under the table, and a small pile
of sand was spread by the back door.

He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping
over toys and more piles of clothes, looking
for his wife. He was worried she may be ill,
or that something serious had happened. He
found her lounging in the bedroom, still
curled in the bed in her pyjamas, reading a
novel.

She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how
his day went. He looked at her bewildered
and asked, "What happened here today?"

She again smiled and answered, "You know
every day when you come home from work and
ask me what in the world did I do today?"

"Yes," was his incredulous reply.

She answered, "Well, today I didn't do it."
:eek:

Swapping jobs with my wife?

Oh no, not in a million years. I know I am the one who earns the $$ but looking after a toddler (or toddlers) 24 hrs a day plus washing, cooking, shopping is such a big commitment. We’ve got it easy you know having meetings, drinking coffee and eating biscuit
