The burden of the US economic crisis on Filipinos

[Marilyn. 340]

ughhhh...who besides Marilyn (I like you Marilyn) but who besides Marilyn and you ladies wants to stay home and be their husband's maid? I mean seriously. Who would put up with a husband that wants them to stay home? I'd rather my husband want me to be challenged in my job and work hard so I don't get bored with it and I'm happy. I also think you should challenge each other and push each other to be better. I'm not into this ####### where the wife isn't as important as the husband just because she is a woman. #### that sh*t!

Amby - I am so very proud of you kiddo

If people are happy tending house and serving their partners -- good for them. I personally could not ever think about it - no way in hell. And my husband would have never married me if I did. To each its own. But do not even attempt to tell me that since I work outside the home in a challenging and intellectually demanding environment I am a bad wife, because that is absolute bullsh1t. Like Tavo said, this is not the freaking XV century. Deal with it.

I don't think anybody said that in this thread.. it is the stay at home wives that are getting the bum-rap here...

and what if she likes doing things for you? what if she likes being a slave for you? you'll be lying if you tell me you wont love it, hahaha!

Are you freaking kidding me!!! PEOPLE HAVE DIED to get rid of that DAMN term in this country. I'm sorry but slavery was abolished by Abraham Lincoln in 1862.

As for calling each other husband and wife, without being married... good luck with that!

Yeah, in fact, do that during your K-1 consular interview, and you'll get a big fat DENIED stamp.

again again again...

DONT WORRY, I AM NOT THAT STUPID hehehe... got some brain here too you know

not to be overly rude but...ummm....yeah you seem to be THAT stupid

Guess all her other gang members are busy taking care of their hubbies, fixing their lunches, and providing other required services!!!

Your wife doesn't do the same for you? You poor guy!

question ... how much care does a husband really need from the home front while he is away from home ... your know ... working?

someone to get his coffee? get his tools? walk him to the lavatory? reheat the food/open the lunchbox?

personally I always walk my SO to the lavatory but that's only because he's so drunk he can't get there without assistance

like what i have said, people can think whatever they want, they are entitled to that, you can think im stupid, ugly, whatever,

but, i personally think that those people who look down on others are more stupid,

trying to defend myself doesnt make me stupid

do you really think i will tell the CO that my petitioner is my "husband"? im sorry, but whose stupid now?

another one that's clueless. do us all a favor and read the whole thread.

I did read and follow the link and I did not see your name in the Moderator list. And yet you are allowed to move topics. You even leave the sign "mbc". What does that make you then?

I'm sorry but I don't usually go out of the Philippine forum so even if I am an old-timer, I am not familiar with the personalities here.

But I'm certainly enjoying OT and having fun. I get to practice my English and debating skills (if ever you can call this debating).

Bring it on.

ughhhhh...I agree with you Len.

The rest I just give up. You are deranged!

[Chica Yeyé 41]

Poor?

What do you mean with poor guy? Personally, I don't like my wife to do anything for me that I am able to do, I'm not mentally nor physically challenged. I was born with 2 hands, 2 legs, 2 eyes and a brain. At the same time, I wouldn't like a wife that wants me to do things for her that would be physically possible to do by herself.

Heavy loads, time constraints, kids, etc.. that's a different story and I'd be more than happy to give her a hand.

I married my wife because I love her, not because I was missing a maid and needed a clean house and a full stomach.

and what if she likes doing things for you? what if she likes being a slave for you? you'll be lying if you tell me you wont love it, hahaha!

You have serious issues - if you are trying to defend house wives you are doing them much more harm by demeaning what they do. Not one of the house-spouses I know refers to him/herself as SLAVES. What a load of #######. Slavery is, by the way, illegal --- but I guess they don't teach you that where you come from.

[Marilyn. 340]

I really don't think she was being serious about the slave thing... I think someone else brought that up that they think stay at home wives are slaves...

[mikeuday19 0]

sorry for the term, hehehe, but is there any other term milder than that? hahaha!

dont dwell on the word, the point is, you'll be lying if you tell me that you wont love it if your precious lovely wife would gladly do things for you, dont you?

and what if she likes doing things for you? what if she likes being a slave for you? you'll be lying if you tell me you wont love it, hahaha!

Are you freaking kidding me!!! PEOPLE HAVE DIED to get rid of that DAMN term in this country. I'm sorry but slavery was abolished by Abraham Lincoln in 1865.

[Amby 490]

you can do things for your SO without being their slave and while working in a demanding job

the slave thing is insane though

See my post above this one sister. I know you will agree that house-spouses do not use terms as SLAVE to refer to themselves. And if they do, they are fvkced up. You know I respect house-spouses a lot (women OR men) - it is hard freaking work; one that I am not willing to do

nope, slave is not a word I use for myself in my present housewife status

[Marilyn. 340]

what is wrong with wanting to be a stay at home wife and or mother??

I have zero problems with women who work outside of the home...

I would be out of a job if all mothers stayed home

ARE YOU READING WHAT I'M WRITINGGGGGGG?

I won't be happy because AGAIN, I'm not mentally nor physically challenged. I'm capable to iron, wash, sweep, mop, cut the grass, everything as she is able to as well. There has to be a balance of chores, i know, but to expect the wife to do every single one of them, that's ludacris

I understand it's kind of difficult for you to believe me because your culture is different, but I can assure you there are men like me in this country that married a woman for what she IS NOT for what she can DO.
