I'm sure that at one time or another every self-sustaining adult here has had to pay for labour in one form or another.
Car repairs: $100 parts. $300 labour
Roof repairs: $1200 parts $3200 labour
Medicine: $2 perscription, $15 dispensing fee (labour)
So I got to thinking, why don't women get paid for labour? Isn't that some form of slavery? My wife seemed keen on the idea of being able to charge for labour when I mentioned it.

Cause their payment is us men not beating them with a sack of oranges when they mouth off to us.
I applaud moms. They are the hardest working, least appreciated people in the world. They clean up ****, they clean puke, they have no days off, no sick days, no vacation and no pay checks. They work from dawn until dusk, cooking, cleaning, organizing, paying bills, budgeting, shopping, running errands, dropping kids off at school, picking kids up at school, going to PTA, foot ball practice, gym practice, soccer practice, school activities, work activities, make beds, laundry, dry cleaning, ironing, yard work and the list keeps going on....

You'd think that the knowledge that they've helped to ensure the survival of mankind for another generation would be enough.

I think they were toying with the idea of giving tax credits to stay at home parents here in Canada, for a while. I'm not sure what came of that or if it was passed into law or what.

Stupid canadia, trying to reward people for actually raising their kids.
America has the right idea: Make tv/video games raise your children while you give them no attention and then sue the shit out of the tv/video game company when the kid kills themself or someone else.

They were paid, and paid well, right there at the moment of conception. Hopefully they were given multiple payments,
I know thats what I always give.

Please, while in the minority, single fathers do all this as well. The only difference is we are paying the mothers. It's called child support.
I'm sure Joph can attest to this. We put just as much effort into raising our children while pumping out the paycheck for the mothers.
Perhaps my experience is different then Jophs, but if I recall he lives in Illinois, so I doubt it.
Just because she supplied the egg, Joph, does not make her a mom. Same for guys, just because you supplied the sperm does not make you a dad. What you do after that moment makes you either a parent or a complete waste of oxygen.

I agree, I should have put single dads as well.
Kaelish, I hate to break it to you, but what you are paying for child support is not enough. Period. All the money in the world cannot take the place of having an active loving parent in your life. You are not paying your exwife, you are paying for your children. Most child support checks couldnt support one adult, let alone an adult with 1 or more children.

Support checks aren't designed to support ANY adults. It is purely for the children, not for the mom to go out and buy herself a nice new pair of shoes.
Get a little defensive about child support, ever since I have seen one of my buddies get taken advantage of by his wife with it.

Thats what I was pointing out Rock. Those child support checks should not be seen as a pay check for the ex spouse. While, I'm well aware there are those parents who pay child support and also contribute a portion of their pay to help maintane their children in a sort of life they want them to have, there are those bad apples that think $200 bucks for 2 or 3 kids combined is more than they should have to pay, there are also those that think when the custodial parent remarries they should no longer have to pay or their amounts should be reduced. I cry bull ****. Those children are both parents responsiblilty and the financial burden should not fall fully on the custodial parents shoulders. 9

I hate to break it to you but you don't know ****. I share custody of my child. Even steven. I'm quite active in my daughters life and I flip half of the bills, medical, clothes, schooling, everything. I carry all the insurance. And I'm quite happy to do it.
What I'm not happy with is the Support check I still have to send to her (the mother) every month. I know that it's not all going to my child and it's bullshit. Rocksmith knows damn well, as most single fathers or people who have friends that are, that the check isn't for her shoes, or her fake tan, or her hair. It's for the kids.
Until your barren *** pops out a few cases of future welfare, don't presume to know what the hell you are talking about.

Perfectly Said.
My buddy, recently divorced with 4 girls, pays $600 a week. Check it, that is $31,200.00 a year. Everytime the kids go over his crappy apartment, they all complain how there is no food in their mom's house or how they need money for school supplies. WTF does she do with all that money....oh ya, she drives a Lexus.
I am not saying all parents do this but unfortunetly, some do. The real losers here is the kids.
Women can thank the Lord for the cost of Labor.
Thankfully, as I sit here on my lazy *** in front of a computer at work, I can be glad we guys no longer have to toil harshly in the fields, but we still get to rule over teh womenz at home. Men FTW!

Actually it looks like you don tknow **** about child support and got ripped off. Child support is for children. It is supposed to go to food, clothing, anything for school, medical and dental insurance, etc. If you have 50/50 on the kids visitation, and put in as much as you claim, then talk to your lawyer about getting it changed. Ask your lawyer for the possibility of getting receipts. Make sure what you're paying is child support and not alimony in the clause of the divorce papers. ANd lastly, stop telling others that they dont know shit, when they do. Katies dead on. Not her fault you got jacked up the *** on your divorce.
As for labor labor, many moms get jewelry from their dew eyed husbands, or other special gifts. Personally, all I would want at that point in time is to know that my husband will be taking the morning shift with the little ones so I can catch an hour or two of uninterrrupted sleep here and there.
