I say me of course.

Try to keep this to cliff notes . . .

She complains we don't have enough money. She says I should earn more, so she can employ a maid to help her at home.

I work full time, and I am also building up a side practice in a field related to my work, both of which will easily coexist.

She stays home and looks after 2 kids, 2 years and 6 years old.

When I get home from work, I am expected to take over - tidy up after kids, put them to bed etc. She does stuff too, she'll have cooked etc, but I'll be up and at it till 9pm, at least. Weekends I'm expected to do my 'half' too, and most Saturdays she takes her 'time off', and goes out running/shopping/whatever, while I stay with the kids - I don't get any time for myself like that.

So, I work, I help at home.

Problem is, I earn about $100k at my day job, I earn about another $30k doing my own thing, which I reckon will top out at about $50k in the next year or so. It's not that bad.

Now wife keeps calling me during the day, saying I should leave early because she's tired / feeling ill / some other bullshit excuse.

So . . . if you've read this far, here's how I see it.

I have my job, she has hers.

I am expected to help her with her job.

She does not help me with mine.

She says I should earn MORE, so she can work less.

At the same time, she says I should work less, so I can creep out early / take days off to help her.

Am I unreasonable to think she's being a whiny lazy cunt?

Serious question. Gotta go for 10 mins, but will see any answers when I get back.
