26. Well, freeloading would be a stretch.

If she's doing all the housework, she's not there for free. Sure, she's got room and board, but sounds like she paid for it. Add in having to sleep with a slug who won't do jack around the house and I'd say they should call it even.

I happen to agree with you that it would be lovely to stay home and be a full-time mom and I'm in a position where that isn't going to happen any time soon either, but calling her a freeloader when she's scrubbing his shit off the bowl and washing his BVDs is misguided.
