Dirty roommates are the worse. You come home from a long day, and there are empty pizza boxes and Doritos bags everywhere. They say they'll do the dishes "in a little." But you leave for the weekend, and the same pile of plates is still sitting in the sink, attracting flies, when you get back. When they can't get the hint, it's time to call a moving company and cut your losses.

Unfortunately, when the problem is with your spouse, it’s not quite so easy. Manga artist Meme (@Naru9nari) recently published a piece speaking to this issue. She is a mother of two young children, and naturally, her hands are full—there's little chance to take a break. Nevertheless, she seems to be doing a lot more of the leg work than other household members. Have a look:

It seems Meme can't hold back anymore. At least the house will be clean from here on out.

Readers understood where the overworked wife was coming from:

  • “Even though there is a lot I want to say, when my husband asks me if I could relax, I just answer 'Yes, thank you.' It's depressing.”
  • “My husband told me when I left ‘I’ll take care of the house,’ but when I came back, he hadn’t done anything.”
  • “Even when my husband tells me to 'take a break,' he doesn't do anything. At the end of the day, I have to do all the housework, so I can never relax.”

It seems these “husband” guys are pretty overrated.
