I don't know what Curling's wife does during the day - nor do I know how many kids they have or their ages.
But when a man decides that he is going to be in a marriage where he will be the bread winner and the wife will stay home with the kids his money is THEIR money. The man should be allowed 50% input as to where the money is spent and the woman the remaining percentage. This is supposed to be an equal relationship not a patriarchal one. If he didn't want to share his money and care for his family 100% monitarially he should have had or let his wife work as soon as the children were in school. Then there would be his, her and their money to be spent how he, she and they want.
Perhaps their children are older, maybe she's been taking care of him, the kids and the house for so long that she wants her own life outside the house. Just because a woman runs a household don’t make her a lazy sack that is just out for a good time and spend husband’s money however she feels. (Even though there are woman that do, do that.)
Only curling and his wife can decide any of this as one family is not like another. I might have missed it but has Curling stated what he thinks or knows his wife's activities are everyday that anyone one of us could judge?
So, she has time to clean - maybe she just doesn't want to, maybe she’s just sick and tired of doing it. Maybe she would rather not go out to dinner with the family and out that money towards a cleaning person because that has value for her.
Or, maybe she just wants to sit around and watch someone else do the cleaning for her, who the hell knows.
THAT SAID.
Personally, I'm not of the old fashion stay home mommy mindset, could be the result of my own upbringing of watching my father work 16 hours a day and resent my mother every year a little more because “she” didn’t have to work, (even though it was his final word of NO you will not work) yet she had a lot to complain about (who could blame him?).
If I had to stay home every day, with kids and with a house to care for, laundry, dry cleaning, and banking as the highlights of my day - I would want to just die. I would much rather have a career and figure out how I will make time to keep up all my other responsibilities. Getting out of the house and working everyday gives one the feeling of purpose and accomplishment.
If men had to have traditional responsibilities and roles of the woman (cook, clean, bear and raise children) and women had to have the traditional responsibilities and roles of the man (clothe, feed, protect and provide shelter) perhaps then the opposite sex would think a little before taking advantage of their mate.
