I’m usually too busy being alpha to bother with beta things like cooking for my family.GD on top form.

Well yeah... that's generally why both parents have to work.
AHH-Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
If we could afford any of that **** in the first place, we'd happily sacrifice it!
You clearly move in far richer circles than us...
Its true though. I wouldn't say its particularly their fault, historically gender specific roles have been far more rigid.
Of course that's no excuse for current generations to maintain those viewpoints ... but then saying that, there are plenty of "men" and "women" these days who are equally useless at both traditional male and female activities, and you have to wonder what skills they actually possess other than duck face posing and twitter feeds
Edit: I guess that's not a particularly new thing, my MIL in her late 60s can't wire a plug, would probably have a mental breakdown if asked to do an oil change, nor can she cook or do the washing up without me needing to redo half of it
And yet they can afford the new cars, holidays and expensive clothes that you'd have them sacrifice, while your masters need more than twice that income just to achieve the bare minimum...
Down here I would, yes! Up there I'd probably live like a king!
Seeing as the average salary down there is 32k there must be a lot of people suffering malnutrition and living in sheds.
This is GD where statistics go out of the window and everyone is an MD or small business owner.
You're the weirdo in this scenario.In Morrisons this morning at check out a woman came up behind us - I think it was a woman or it could have been a corner sofa - she plonked two bags of crisps on rubber belt - These wasn't single bags but bags with at least 24 bags of crisps in them. - other times I have seen the trolley full of bottles of Coke. ??
We buy two single bags for the week just in case we fancy one.

Maybe it's different there, here there's a lot of fat people waddling about, ordering Grand Big Macs with large fries and a diet coke...Is this fat people eat McDonald's cliché thing still a thing?
I mean I've been to McDonald's 3 times In the past 3 months, twice in Belgium and I didn't see a single fat person except me. A lot of young people but that's about it?

Two single bags indeed!
Isn’t there a link between zero sugar soft drinks and obesity — something to do with the brain tasting ‘sweet’ but not getting the expected sugar, so you then overcompensate with additional calories.Maybe it's different there, here there's a lot of fat people waddling about, ordering Grand Big Macs with large fries and a diet coke...

The majority of couples I know could easily live off just one persons income.................. snip.....
Correlation != causation.
Hint - it's not the mothers working that's causing an increase in obesity in their children.
