You should have been a comedian.
My mum used to clean a friends' house for her back in the day. She had a husband and three kids, a four bedroom house. It took my mum a whopping 3 or 4 hours a week to clean it.
My brother and I had weekly chores doing some (about half) of the weekly housecleaning. It used to take us about 30 minutes to do it - and yes, it was done to our mum's standard.
I think Terry was right: I had a really good lawyer and I was lucky.

Yes, it's easy to do a once-a-week job; it's the every day stuff--get up in the morning at 5.00 to crying baby who won't go back to sleep; stay awake for your toddlers to make breakfast; put load of washing on; make lunch for husband; hang load of washing out; clean up breakfast dishes, all while entertaining toddlers and trying to tend to baby; change nappy, feed; play with toddlers; prepare lunch for toddlers and baby, which gets thrown everywhere; clean up; spend an hour putting baby down for a nap; tend to toddlers; start making dinner; clean up vomit and change more nappies; bath baby and toddlers; put them in their pjs; read to toddlers; try to get baby to sleep (another hour); fall into bed at 10 pm exhausted; and then up every three hours with baby feeding; up again at 5.30 and it all starts again. Yeah, super easy.
And in between all of the above, keep the house clean, keep the children clean, do the grocery shopping, take children on outings, take them to the doctors, to the dentist, to orthodontists, paediatricians, specialists; help out at the school canteen and in the classroom; be involved in their activities. Be their nurse, their handmaid, their teacher, their taxi driver, their counsellor. The list goes on.
It must count for something. Otherwise Australia would be a gold digger's haven
After reading this thread, my choice on potential partners has changed.
What my lawyer gave me said something about 'contributions being financial or otherwise'.
So if, going into a marriage, you have investment property that is paid off, the partner cannot really lay a claim to it, as he/she hasn't contributed either financially or otherwise (unless he/she has renovated it or helped manage it). The same with property that is gifted.
... you ... have a habit of picking fights with everyone esepcially about teh gender debate, ...
Property girl can get her knickers into 100 different knots, but the reality in modern society in australia is that men are expected to or looked down upon if they dont have a car or investment property at say 30, while being fully employed in a decent job with prospects of promotion, while women are free to have a low paying job throughout their 20s, while spending every cent they earn, with no financial responsbilit, to look for someone who can "take care of them"
obviously there are exceptions like many here on SS, and its a generisation, but reality is reality
the number of dates of ive been on with girls who are around 30 boast about their huge credit card debt, lack of savings, but yet are just as quick in dismissing an ex partner due to lack of assets or career ambitions is astonishing
(and no I didnt find them on sugardaddys.com)
Lets hope this thread doesn't degenerate like so many others

Seriously? ... Maybe you are just looking in all the wrong places.
Those girls like you've described obviously exist, just like there are plenty of men with unattractive traits, but I'm just not sure where you are looking?
