good marriage material, they should understand that houses don't clean themselves, and wives don't assume the role of servant any more, so they either get
Divorced women seeking friendship online dating sites in line and start pitching in, or they pony up and pay for part of the cleaning service you're going to hire. OR they move out (they seem old enough) and live the way they choose, in their own place. The poor deluded things, they think it's beneath them to do these things that make living together happily possible. That's for the less important people to do. Like you. They can't do it, obviously; their penises get in the way .always getting stuck in the vaccuum cleaner, banging into the sink, getting caught in the shower drain Why aren't THEY saving up for THEIR weddings? What year is this you're living in? Not a single one of my sisters and brothers expected my parents to pay for their weddings. Not one. The idea that parents need to go into debt to finance their -' weddings needs to be thrown out the window. If the parents have lots of disposable income and want to, that's another thing. Ridiculous entitled bullshit. Husband too. Enough is enough. The entitlement has to be stopped, and they'll be better people for it. Have a talk with everyone present and tell them it's time for a change and let nobody off the hook, because they'll all have arguments for why it shouldn't apply to them, I'm sure.

Stop doing the things you do that make their special entitled lives easier, like laundry and cooking and anything you think of, including saving for their "special day". You've been taking care of them forever; take care of you now. If you're okay without the second income, then spend it on what matters to YOU. Hire a cleaning person once in a while, for the areas YOU use, not the kid's rooms. Get a massage and manicure every week. Go out. friends. Join a book club. Start a new hobby. Join a gym. Well, that certainly got me all worked up! Time for more coffee. I'm on a roll.
