I don’t get the single mama reference, does she think the rest of us wait until the man of the house is back to get things done?? I chased walls for electrics in our new build while pregnant, I cut skirting and architrave using a mitre saw during the same pregnancy, I also moved 60 bags of cement that was dumped at our gate, 50 yards from our house WHILE PREGNANT! Now, to be fair my husband did nearly lose his shit when I ignored him about cement, but in my defence it was left uncovered and in the rain by the delivery driver so I threw 5 bags in the boot of the car and did the trip 12 times to move the bags indoors to keep them dry, oh and I did all that while minding two toddlers on my own while my husband was at work. This is the real world Julie. Capable adults get shit done. They don’t look for other people to do the crap jobs like flushing a goldfish down the toilet. If I asked my husband to do half the shit she asks her family to do for her he’d look at me sideways. Sometimes you need to pull up your big girl pants and just do things without looking for praise and recognition.
