Most guys I know are doing non stop kid stuff all weekend, helping with the house in addition to all the traditional male stuff, like house maintenance, car maintenace, shovellin the snow, mowing the lawn
etc etc. Why assume the 'poor woman' does all this while the 'fat slob' sits around?

I was simply imagining the fight. I'm sorry if my imagination got carried away and you found offense. However, if this particular argument occurred while he was on his week of 12s, then she was pulling the majority of the load at home, plus her own full time job. Not that the roles won't change in another week. At that exact moment she might very well have been feeling overwhelmed and threw stuff into the argument that had no business being there. Women fight emotionally, right or wrong.
Also, I would never assume that the man is a "fat slob" that does nothing. It would never fly in this day and age. I'm sure he does lots.
The same goes to you as well though. You shouldn't assume that the man is doing all the tradional male things around the house either. I'm quite capable of car maintenance and house repairs and do the majority of that stuff.
All these responsibilities that are being thrown around here are usually done by the most capable of the pair for the task, or the one with the most time. It usually evens itself out in the end.
