Did anyone see the news clip this morning about the woman who is trying to receive back pay through her divorce?

She was suing for things such as laundry services, painting, yardwork, etc. that she performed at home during the marriage.
Can you believe that crap? If she didn't have to work, what did she think she should be doing all day? Nothing?? She actually documented and researched her "itemized" bill to him

So I said to hubby as I was ironing his shirt, "That'll be two bucks buddy". Hey, maybe it's not a bad idea after all!!

That's pretty funny!

Sounds reasonable to me. I mean, maybe her FH did not allow her to work & made her be a SAHW.

Shoot I'd do it

it's a fine line to walk.Becuase obviously she didn't go to work in the traditonal sense and she still had her needs taken care of by hubby, but you also want to be careful of saying that she HAD to do those things or that they didn't count b/c she didn't work in the traditional sense. I think the role of a SAHW/SAHM should be appreciated and valued a lot more than it is, and maybe in a perfect world they would be paid, but she can't expect her husband to pay her for that. And she's really wasting $$ on legal fees b/c there's no way she's going to win a dime!
