Yes l have to agree to some point that women do get easily stressed since they have to go to work. look after childern which can be a full time job.
As soon as the husband comes home you have to look after him.
While he sits whiles you are doing the daily chores.
I know some men do help there wifes with things arround the house if they are taught when they are young children.
A long time ago a woman had a choice to stay home but now adays with high morgages and things getting dearer the two parents have to work.

Anyway have a look at the survey and tell all of us if you are easily stessed.

I know sometimes when l am at work and home l will get stressed if l am tired smiles

Wow, sexist much?

 

[sidious618]

I'd agree with you but I'm not entirely sure what she's saying.

 

[Angela 0077]

I am not sexist it is the truth.
Some men do sit around while a woman sets the table cooks cleans and does everything.
I did point out that some men do help.

i am saying that women get easily stressed with everyday things at home and at work.

Only some? You got statistics to back that up?

Is it wrong that the first thing which came to mind was the line from The Forever War about the two women stationed at Stargate being 'stressed' from having to service the eighteen men there?

... does it help that I read it only last night?

I'd comment further, but I have to go hang the washing out.

 

[Angela 0077]

No I dont.
But my father is treated like a king while he is waited on by my mum.
Geez l have seen it when l visit poeple even my next door neiigbours houses

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

These days, who the hell ISN'T stressed??

 

[Angela 0077]

I am stressed right now smiles

And some women are nasty and shrill. Should I start going on about women berate their husbands all day so it's no surprise that men are stressed?

No. Because those women are the minority just as those men are the minority.

Eh, I'd be careful about using that as a barometer. Dynamics could well be different with visitors, i.e. the wife feeling the need to put the household's 'best face' forward for visitors, and the husband not really giving a shit. You could call that many things - lack of communication, lack of ability to compromise - but representative of a broader pattern of uneven domestic responsibilities? Not necessarily.

In any case I expect that household chores aren't the reason behind the difference (which isn't huge in the first place) in reported stress levels between sexes. I'd look more closely at parental and interpersonal factors. One of the downsides of women being more empathic than men is that their own internal states and behaviours are more sensitive to the external social environment than those of men. And of course, there's still a lot of resistance in society to men admitting any kind of problem ("Nah, it's jus' a flesh wound mate.") which could also account for some of the discrepancy.

 

[Angela 0077]

Why do you say that women are nasty.
Have you met a few like this.
I do know that some women berate there husbands and talk behind there back over the most slighted thing.

Yes l do agree with what you are saying l should be careful in what l say.

Thankyou for pointing it out.for me smiles

I didn't say women are nasty. I think they're very nice by and large, ditto for men.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

You do not seem nasty, Ang.

 

[Angela 0077]

Smiles

l am a very nice person

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ Agreed.

My sister used to go on about how stressed she was and that she had to work to pay for the mortgage. However if she and her husband hadn't decided that they needed a four bedroom, three bathroom house with a rumpus room she wouldn't have needed to work as many hours as she did.

Australians have the biggest homes of any nation. The typical Australian home is 215 square metres, whereas the average British home is 76 square metres. The Danes have the largest homes in Europe but their average home is only 137 sq meters.

Most couples could afford to live if they accepted the same standard of living that people had the generation before them.

Is it wrong that the first thing that came to my mind is that there is an Australian men and sheep joke in there somewhere?
