Domestic Slavery

Why are women expected to do EVERYTHING??? I have a 9 year old and a 5 month old, I stay home, I am starting a business (with my husband to be)- yes I am unmarried with 2 kids from 2 different fathers- I keep my house immaculate and I am the one responsible for home repairs, car repairs, cooking and basically everything else except bringing home the $$.

I hate laundry. I hate cooking. I hate domestic slavery. I like to shop at the grocery store, especially specialty stores like Balducci's and Whole Foods, but I hate unloading the groceries, shleping them inside and putting them all away. Most of all, I hate using the groceries to make meals. I should've gone to lawschool...

My boyfriend (fiance, actually, since I forced him to propose a few weeks ago) is good at one thing: making a living. He goes to work every morning with his paper cup of instant oatmeal (lovingly prepared by the mother of his bastard son) and comes home every night tired and sniffing around for food. Frankly, he is a bloodsucker. I am tired of everyone needing me- to cook, to clean, to find something, to drive them somewhere, to listen to something, to pretend to enjoy being at social functions I can't stand, to be nice to people I loathe..., to be cordial to ex-wives; yes blooksucker has 2... This is why I drink.
