That just sounds like sour grapes, the I-have-to-do-it-so-you-do-too mindset.

Regardless, my comment about the benefit of hws and hhs was more of a general point. It goes without saying that not every husband or wife is cut out to be a hh or hw (and that not every husband or wife is cut out to have a hh or hw).
