Do you think a stay at home wife and mom should have to do everything?

TyNSethsMom @TyNSethsMom (136) • United States 5 Dec 07

I have been a stay at home mom for about a month now. When my husband gets home he will not help me at all with dinner, the kids, cleaning, ect. So I wonder if you are a stay at home mom should you have to do everything?

Is it rude to tell someone their weight loss is noticable?

II2aTee @II2aTee (2559) • United States 24 Apr 08
