She's the sole breadwinner, what am I?

[keith7]

So, we have a 2 years old boy that I only take care 3 days a week (3 days sent to nursery and 1 day left with her for my day out).

I don't work/earn anything to support the family, and don't seriously plan to do anything about it.

Most of the time I do the cooking for dinner and lunch (never for breakfast), do the laundry & ironing. And mind you, looking after a toddler is tiring...

Sometimes I left them home for a holiday along with my buddies out of province, and planning to join my buddies for another holiday away for couple of days.

Now she complaint about my new holiday plan with my buddies that I didn't at the 1st place in my mind think of having a family holiday with them along instead.

By the way, I had done the same in the past; left them home and joined my buddies for trip outside Bangkok and outside Thailand for few days.

What am I? Is it too much to do that?

[blackcab]

It sounds like you are on a full time holiday.

[billd766]

Part of a marriage is sharing everything including looking after children.

You say that she is working and you are not, so she is the breadwinner.

Who will look after the child if your wife is working and you want to have another holiday with your mates?

You need to choose between your "buddies" and your family. Where does the money come from to support you and your holidays?

You want everything your way without any responsibility. It is time to grow up and accept that you are a father, a husband and accept that your days with your buddies are coming to an end. Will they support you if you have no job, no money and no interest in getting either?

Will the response be any different if i'm the wifey instead?

Lucky devil you ! Think of all the Farangs that must pay 10 thousands of Bht to "the Family" every month for basically the same thing !

Enjoy the ride. It may not last forever.

Cheers.

What kind of VISA do you have?

Sounds like total troll BS to me.

Can I deduce from that last comment that your original story is about you being the sole bread winner, and your wife is the bum?

[fang37]

Logically, you are a Gik.

Keith is my friend and the story is totally true.See you in PI soon buddy.

[pinkpanther99]

You my friend are living the dream.

I am the sole breadwinner in our house but I would love to be a stay at home dad, especially now I have Expat TV.

Instead I'm working 60+ hours per week.

Sounds like you've got it sorted to me.

Have you considered counceling or seeing a psychologist?

If you want your holidays, be the breadwinner instead!

not at all, it would be equally uninteresting.

Gee, you haven't figured out how it works if one of a couple work and the other doesn't?

[whatproblem]

I take it you have your own money? If your wife works to give her family ,then why not .your only thought should be will your som miss you .your son will always be your son ,maybe your wife won't always be your wife .good luck ,you've got it sorted

[Gracas]

Too many holidays can be tiring, you had better sit back and rest for awhile.

[dotpoom]

Why do you think other people give a toss about what you are?.....everybody has their own side of the street to take care of.

[ironbark]

Very clever piece of satire and discussion Keith7.

Yes there is a big difference in our attitude to the gender difference. Because you described the person as a man, many were critical of you. If you said the person was female then comment is likely to be much more.

Point well made.

When you wake up from your dream...you will find your safe open and empty, your wallet and passport missing, and a truck outside loading your furniture...just go back to sleep...that seems to be what you do best...

[Ghostnigel]

Cleaning, ironing, feeding and cleaning a 2 yr old, what sort of holidays do you take?

[slipperylobster]

you sound like a typical housewife...

You can tell (your own version) of the truth and still be a troll.

[TheKnave]

If she is willing to remain the sole breadwinner, then my guess is that he is the sole muffineater.

Just a guess, mind you...

[neal david]

the word ...selfish seems to spring to mind .....may you you should try growing up ......

[SOTIRIOS]

...you have answered all your questions in your mind....leave us out of it.....

...but I hope that the child is not suffering for it.......

My mind boggles that you would even consider going off on holiday with your mates and not take your wife.

If your wife is earning the money the very least you should be doing is supporting her by doing all the housework, all the grocery shopping and looking after your kid.

And your boy is 2 years old, I hope you are putting in maximum effort to get him speaking English (and your native tongue if you are not a native English speaker) otherwise unless you speak Thai you'll end up being unable to communicate with him.
