And that's the thanks I gotOn getting screwed over by people for whom you were doing a favour:
I spent several weeks helping my best friend - a complete layabout - with his A-Level computer science project so he wouldn't fail his course. In the end, he did so little work I actually ended up doing the whole thing for him in a half-term week I should really have spent revising for my own exams.
I got back to college to find that while I was hunched over a red-hot BBC Micro, he had spent the week screwing my girlfriend.
Then he didn't bother sitting the exam because "I'm going to fail anyway".
And that's the thanks I got. How have you been screwed over whilst doing someone a favour?

MoomaBelieve it or not, I get a fair amount of that as well, being a single father. Fortunately they are now in their teens, so I can put some of the load onto them and make them more self-sufficient. I still cook dinner and do a lot of the stuff around the house in addition to working full time, but it's not as bad as it once was. And now that my girlfriend lives with me, it's better still.
I'd say you need to get your kids doing a few things- even at the age of 8 they can do their own laundry, for instance. Mine did. And if your husband is adding to the load, twat him for me, as he sounds like a git.
