Bringing home the bacon is the easy part, after that you get time off when you go home. Being a wife/mother is a 24 hour/7 day a week job..no "down" time at all.
I remember when my eldest was 15 months old and I was feeling really bad and discovered I was running 103 temperature...had to call hubby from work to come home because I was shaking so bad I couldn't hold the baby...after only 4 hours, he had me call my friend who left her work, to come take care of the baby. His comment was that it was such hard work and he couldn't see any result of it...it gave him a headache...
If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the main difference between a dog and man.
