Thought for the day

I am wary of any organisation or 'project' that garners mass appeal - think Facebook, National Socialism and grief tourism*- to this end I have never opened a Facebook account, become a Nazi or placed flowers on the grave of someone I never knew.

* outpouring of public grief following the demise celebrity/member of royal family etc..

Stay at home mothers..

Am I alone in my bewilderment at their sense of entitlement? Is it so wrong to expect a little gratitude for what is provided, rather than the moaning and barracking for what has not. My (estranged) wife has car, money and time between school runs to do pretty much as she pleases (cake making hair appoints etc..cleaning is courtesy of a local single mother*..). Meanwhile I just 'sit about at work all day'.

I largely disregarded  her sobbing over how cruelly she was  treated as I found the spoilt brattishness of it too much to bear. Yet now I apparently only have myself to blame for the marriage breakdown 'you knew I was unhappy and you did nothing about it..' comes  the unconvincing mantra. But the larger problem is how to convince others that I am not the Ogre she portrays. Answers below pleae.

* the irony is indeed lost on her..
