I'm glad I'm not married to this guy!

DH came home last night and told me about this guy he works with. He is married and his wife stays at home. He was telling DH about how great his wife his because all he has to do his relax when he gets home. She cleans up after him, packs his lunch, blah, blah.... It was almost like he wanted to compare wives w/ DH. Anyway, once he found out we had a child he asked DH if I breastfed. And then went on to say once they had children he would insist (yes, INSIST) that his wife breastfeeds for a year. After DH said "Isn't that her decision" he replies "Well, it is the natural thing to do and it is important to me". I just hope it is just as important to his wife. I know if DH insisted anything on me while I was sleep deprived and struggling to breastfeed, he may lost a body part.

    Sounds like a real jerk.  The type who will probably be controlling how she spends all of their money, too.  Ugh...

    Wow, what a catch.  Confused

    My FIL does absolutely nothing, I've told MH if he starts acting like his Dad the laundry fairy will go on strike.  And there will only be scary green veggies in the house.

    Um what if for whatever reason she can't breastfeed? I would be crushed if my husband told me that I failed because of low supply or lazy latching. Also once they have kids he will no longer have her at his beck and call, he could be in for a really rude awakening once he realizes he needs to be her partner not her boss.

    I know. At first it pissed me off that someone could be such an ignorant assbag. But then I kind of had to giggle at the reality that would soon slap him in the face. I'm hoping he is just all talk and when it comes down to it he will realize he just needs to be supportive of his wife.

    Well he sounds like an asshat.

    But really, she's a SAHW. No kids. No paid job. So I see nothing wrong with him coming home and doing nothing. Unless she's doing something seriously huge and productive at home (like renovating the house by herself or something), then what else has she got to do but cook and clean?
