Stay at home mom goes on Strike?

FRANKFORT, Ind. - A stay-at-home mom is on strike _ giving up her daily chores until her family gives her more help around the house.

Regina Stevenson, 41, sat on a lawn chair Tuesday on the sidewalk outside her home in Frankfort, 20 miles southeast of Lafayette, with a sign saying "Mom on Strike."

Stevenson has four children, ranging in age from 7 to 19. The youngest three live at home with her and her husband, Dennis, along with their daughter-in-law and grandson.

Stevenson says the large household means doing a lot of laundry, cooking, cleaning and gardening.

"I do everything except bring home the paycheck," she said, crediting her husband for that contribution.

Stevenson said her children are good kids and that her husband keeps odd hours and can't always pitch in.

But she said she wants more help around the house and that she won't be cleaning, cooking or doing other chores until they clean and learn to appreciate her.

"(Stay-at-home moms) are not paid with money, and I think that you should show a little courtesy and respect for what we do," she said.

The hubby should kick her out of the house and hire a cleaning lady. Show that bitch who's boss, lol.

Yeah the Dad works all day and you don't see him complaining.

Any woman who would do that is a total bitch, and needs straightened out NOW..

Where the **** is Sammy "The Bull" when you need him..

They need to get terry tate to tackle her ass and make her get with the program.

That's got to be a lot of work cleaning up after a family that size. I can see her frustration if they are a bunch of slobs and don't help out. They'll see just how much she does, when she stops working around the house. My mom stayed at home while my step dad supported her, me, and my two brothers. She was up every morning before us and did everything, bills, cleaning, cooking every night, laundry, etc etc. That's a full time job in itself.

And the mom works all day, all night, weekends, and holidays. I don't think it is unreasonable to expect a little bit of help.

The old man should hire a replacement mom, either temporary or permanent.

Of course it's tough, but the reason her family doesn't help out enough is....

SHE DIDN'T TEACH THEM TO PICK UP AFTER THEMSELVES FROM THE BEGINNING..

She's a moron, and if it was ME and MY wife did that, she'd be out there all night cause the ****ing door would be shut with new locks! You don't get things changed in a household you taught to be messy, by embarassing your loved-ones and basically calling them ungrateful slobs to a national audience.

The nerve!

Every few months a different woman does this. Kick the oldest boy and his wife and kid out. Beat the others until they learn to show some respect. If that doesnt work burn all the clothes and change the locks when they leave.

**Praetorian** · 10-20-2005 09:22 PM

What a bitch.

Hell, I'd gladly be a 'stay-home-dad' if my future wife busted her ass working 80+ hours a week to put food on the table.

**d'Anconia** · 10-20-2005 10:12 PM

So why exactly did she have so many kids? Heck 4 isn't even close to a lot, but damn her for having more kids than she could handle. The fault is almost 100% hers.

It was a bit of a rant, bred from spending all of yesterday cleaning my own house (that I havent lived in for 17 months) after my estranged wife moved out and left it an unholy mess..

I swear the only person I've ever met that is naturally messier than me, is her. Luckily I retrained myself..lol.

**biggimp** · 10-20-2005 11:39 PM

wait - kids 7 -19 years old. youngest 3 live at home? so the 19 year old lives on their own right? that means somebody under 19 is married with a kid? wtf?

**sCaRz*Of*PaiN** · 10-21-2005 12:12 AM

Sitting on the lawn? What the hell is she doing out of the kitchen?!?

Just kidding.

Kids these days. When I was their age I used a little thing called a condom WHILE my gf was on the pill. Everyone did everyone, like today, but there were NO unwanted pregnancies the entire three years I was in high school.

I went through a rough patch where my wife (now ex) and I had to live with my parents for six months. It was hell but my mom would be damned before even considering lifting a hand to clean any of our dirty dishes or laundry... and we'd be damned before we demeaned ourselves by letting her.

Old enough to think you can raise a baby you're old enough to do your own damned laundry.

**Tryska** · 10-21-2005 06:52 AM

what's the daughter-in-law doing? she should be helping, and the various kids can easily pick up soem chores. altho i do agree with elwood that she should have trained the whole lot of them from the beginning.

**spencerjrus** · 10-21-2005 10:01 AM

When my Mom asked me to do chores growing up if my answer was anything other than "Yes maam" I started running IMMEDIATLEY, because I knew the next thing that was going to happen was a wooden spoon across my bare ass.

As long as she's on the lawn, how bout getting the mower out. She could take off her shirt and get a nice tan while she's at it.
