Source When I hear the phrase 'Happy Wife, Happy Life' it makes me think that there is no consideration for the husband. What if what makes the wife happy doesn't make the husband happy? Should he just accept it because she's happy, and it's only her happiness that creates a happy life? That doesn't sound good to me. I don't doubt that when a wife is happy it can make a husband happy too, but I don't think he should be a slave to her happiness or tolerate something that makes her happy when deep down it doesn't make him happy. If only one person is happy in a relationship, whether it's the wife or husband, that's a crappy relationship. Both spouses deserve to be happy in their marriage and in their home.
Source Growing up as a GenX kid meant adults didn't put up with my whining attitude, and that's why I'm not inclined to put up with whining from able-bodied housewives when it comes to housework. Oh, no; your house is so big you can't handle taking laundry up the stairs with your mobile legs. Oh, no; you have to take dishes out of a machine and put them away with your mobile arms. Oh, no; you have to post pictures of your misery on social media because housework takes forever. As Frank Barone would say: Stop your crying and get off your pity pot, Nancy! Housework isn't hard work, but it is a lot of work, and it takes a tough person to do it day in and day out. Housewives are strong and they get their strength from doing housework every day, whether they want to or not. Now, suck it up like an adult and go put the laundry away.
