i'm mostly a housewife. well. for the moment at least. this is not going to be the case forever. my husband doesn't give me a penny. i do have a part time job. but the income i get from that is real low. my husband has most of the bills to pay, so i don't fight over money. i never do. i never even ask.

but shouldn't he feel a duty towards me sometimes? i'm not taking up a full time job because i have to take care of my stupid in-laws, the house and all the chores and him. shouldn't i receive some gratitude for the things i do for him? or am i stupid to be doing free work for them when a maid would get paid to do all that?
