Today, I came home after ten hours at work to find my unemployed wife and 4 kids sprawled out watching TV waiting for me to get home and cook for them. I had to wash all the dishes first because they didn't feel like getting up or helping. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I came home to pandemonium: the kids screaming, the house a mess, wet laundry, no food made, and my wife in her office. After cleaning, making dinner, putting everything away, and getting the kids to sleep, I grabbed myself a beer. My wife saw it and said, "You're kidding, right?" FML
Today, after a full shift at work, I got home to my boyfriend playing CoD, a full sink, crap all over the table, a full cat box, dirty bathroom, no laundry done and the kids at my parents' house. He yelled at me because the place was a mess. FML
Today, I spent hours cooking an amazing dinner for my family, who had just gotten home from a trip, so we could spend some time together because I'd started to miss everyone. When they got home, they saw it all laid out and just took plates to their room, without even telling me they were home. FML
Today, I have the flu. I had to wash the dishes, cook dinner, take out the trash, and take care of the laundry, all while my wife sat around watching TV, because she was "too tired". I work 8 hours a day. She's a college student. She doesn't see what's so unfair about this. FML
Today, due to an emergency, I ended up working for 18 hours instead of 13. I'd texted my unemployed wife to let her know this was unavoidable, but when I got home she blamed me like she thought I planned this in advance, yelled at me, and my dinner was Heinz tomato soup I had to heat up myself. FML
Today, I worked a full day and then went to a three-hour class. I got home at 9 PM, and before the door closed I heard, "There's a sink full of dishes for you." There are three able-bodied men in the house, all of whom got here hours ago and created that sink full of dishes. FML
Today, I got home at 6:30 after a 12-hour shift. I sat down on the sofa, and my wife immediately stomped in and said, "Why are you sitting doing nothing? Get up, there's a million things to do." FML
Today, after a long talk with the kids, I finally got all the chores around the house done early so we could have a fun family weekend. My wife decided to be a wet blanket and insisted we needed to deep clean the already clean kitchen. Three arguments later, everyone is sulking, and I'm working in the kitchen alone. FML
Today, I got home at 7 after a long, stressful 12-hour shift. The second I walked through the door, my wife said, "Can you hurry up and make dinner? We're all starving." This happens all the damn time. FML
Today, I had the day off from work. I did all the chores hoping to free up time to spend with my husband tonight. When he came home, he looked around and decided that since there was no need for him to stick around and help clean, he'd head to the bar to watch the game with the guys. FML

Grow a pair and tell them to take some responsibility.

Just out of interest, have you spent a day alone with your 4 children while your wife was out of the house? Maybe you'd appreciate her a little more if you did. If she's looking after 4 kids, she isn't unemployed (a word you seem to have chosen to make her sound lazy), she's a stay at home mum. Kids are demanding, sometimes you get things done, other times you don't. Instead of criticising, why not take the family out for dinner then sort the house out together when the kids are in bed? If this is a regular occurrence, talk to her about what you need & find out what she needs instead of complaining to a bunch of people who don't know anything about your home life.

At which point I would have walked out of the house and gone to a bar for dinner. With friends.

Is she home with the kids or are they school age? Even with kids, parents at home still manage to get stuff done.

I hate men who think that they can just work at their job and expect to check out the rest of the time. Do you seriously think it's fair to expect her to do housework and childcare 24/7 while you only work 9-5 (or 9-7)? Both of you should log your time doing job work, housework, childcare, sleep, and leisure. If she has more leisure time than you, you're qualified to complain, but she probably doesn't. Stay at home moms definitely do much more than ten hours of work a day even if they're not technically employed.

I understand your point but all he wants is some help after a long ass day at work. The kids or her could have at least washed the dishes, if it was the tier way around so many people would be ranting on how he should get his lazy ass off the couch and do something. Screw people

You can beat the kids to get em right but you can't beat your wife..

Fun fact! You're only unemployed if you're looking for a job. Otherwise you just don't work outside the home.

I would recommend cooking a delicious smelling meal for one and leaving cereal on the table
