You really shouldn't worry about lazy house wives in general, but focus on your own two.
How come you waited til after the divorce to tell #1 that you thought she was lazy? IMO you should have brought it up with her before it became a thing that irritated you terribly.
Now if you have the same problem again with wife #2, I would definitely suggest you talk to her about it before it gets out of hand.

If it's pure laziness, stop supporting her financially. If she doesn't do her duties, stop paying for her expenses. She's a grown up.
As long as you enable her to be lazy, her laziness will not want to disappear.

Based on everything you have said ?Your firm beliefs ,how you talk about your ex wife and now your current wife of what 4 years ? You are headed towards a 2nd divorce and I don't think it has anything to do with "lazy house wives" .

How ? Your wife worked as a nurse .And according to you she put her job outside of the home before you and your children(not hers ) on the weekends. How could your wife been a SAHM let a lone a lazy one if she was working FT outside the home ?

How many hours a day were you working outside the home?

After she had her car accident last year and now is off work for neck and back pain I do about 90% now of everything, including the kids when I have them on the weekends.

Just to clarify, these are your kids from your first marriage? They are not your wife's kids? You have them on weekends. Do you think their step-mom should be doing as much caring for them as you do?


So with that being said tell me why you do or don't think we have a problem with lazy house wives?

You've given two examples from your own life. I don't think that can reasonably be generalized to all stay at home moms.

The stay at home moms I know are all super-productive. They're all cooking fresh healthy meals, cleaning, doing crafts, selling scentsy and such things, going to MOPS and PTA, helping at school and church. While I have no doubt there are some women who are lazy SAHMs, I don't really see it as a trend.

Then stop saying "house wife" . "House wife" indicates a SAHM . Your wife (current) is not a SAHM . She worked sounds like until she was injured (and I bet she still gets an income) 50 or so hours a week outside of the home and has no children .She is not a "house wife" .

She is married and has a house is not the same as "house wife" . The fact you call her lazy is really pathetic.
