I do have to take issue with your comment about men and mops, though ;-) Before my wife left me and took our child our of state, I was the soul provider in the house and my wife stayed at home with the kids. My mother-in-law and father-in-law lived with us because they could not afford a place and despite my working 45-50 hours a week and driving 2 hours a day, I did all of the cooking, cleaning, most of the shopping, and taking care of the kids once I got home. My weekends were spent doing the larger chores: mopping the floors, catching up on the mountain of laundry, etc.

Granted my wife has Graves’ Disease and she was physically weak, but just rinsing her plate off after lunch and sticking it in the dishwasher would have been a small token of appreciation for me.

Just found your blog through Google, and have really enjoyed your posts — great work and keep ‘em coming!

I also wanted to comment on the points about being a single mom and “men and marriage”:

In large part I find myself agreeing with you. I’m a single mom of 7 years (9yo girl), and I’m really not sure what I’d do if I didn’t have my daughter. Sometimes being a single mom (or just a parent, really) is taxing and vexing, but overall I’m quite happy being one.
