Re: It's Bill.

It wasn't about sharing responsibility, she called it,"unpaid labour." Work done without remuneration. Implying, not necessarily that somebody else should be doing it, but that it should be remunerated. Which raises the question, who is supposed to be paying?

I get quite annoyed when people refer to parenting as "unpaid labour". Raising my kids is the most important thing I do, and while it sometimes may feel like hard work, it isn't actually work. It's actually what I enjoy doing the most.

Why do people have kids then complain about it and expect to be recognised as some sort of martyr? It's illogical in the extreme.
