Can i send Swmbo round Mike i need a break ..................

She sounds nothing like you described, last time you tried to palm her off...............

What time does she finish the chores and take up oof

Obviously not soon enuf - skruntie, one of the advantages of having a SWMBO - if u'r the lazy good for nothing kindof bloke like most of them are.., ya can sit there playing on the pc while she does all the work 
Mike., u'r getting ever closer to appearing in 1st position 
Me goes back to cleaning duties boo hoo
Dont mind sharing the duties, cooking and cleaning etc.
Moved in with someone who had 2 kids nearly 20 years ago (only lasted 18 months tho)
Went to work (she wasnt working at the time) came home at 6, meal was cooked, so I did the pots, after a while, the kids pots from after school were in the pile, while later visitors cups added, as time goes by, lunch pots added, and then the crunch came when all the days pots were there waiting for me every night.
I worked 5 and 1/2 days a week. Did all the odd jobs on Saturday afternoon and then on Sunday used to take the kids to a go-kart race meet to give her time off from the kids.
Dont agree that us men take advantage of women, thought she was a one off, Dont mind the equality idea and sharing the chores but taking the piss of your parner (works both ways) is a No No. Been proved since she wsnt a one off.
What actually finished the relationship was that she said I was allways too tired to spend any time with her. :-/ :-/ :-/
