Extreme Divorce: Wife Wants Back Pay For Housework
UPDATED: 2:48 pm EDT July 26, 2005
ALBANY, Ind. -- An Indiana woman is trying to get a paycheck for hours of work she did as a wife.
She's divorcing her husband and said she's sending him a bill for almost $500,000 for housework she says she did and kept track of over the years.
Kathy Thompson appeared on ABC's "Good Morning America" three years ago when she went on strike in an effort to get her husband to help out more around the house.
After five years of marriage to Gary Thompson, Kathy said she's trying to be reasonable. She's filing for divorce, but isn't asking for a normal alimony payment.
Kathy has drawn up an itemized bill with what she believes Gary owes her after their time together.
The itemized bill includes a charge for cleaning that amounts to $42,000. Cooking is billed for $35,200. The laundry tab is $17,600. Yardwork costs a comparatively paltry $1,200.
Good Morning America first talked to the Thompsons in 2002, when Kathy, fed up with Gary's fishing trips, went on strike to demand help around the house. She also sought some nights out.
"He goes fishing a lot and he doesn't appreciate me, so I went on strike," Kathy said in 2002.
That strike ended when Gary showed up with flowers, plans for a vacation and dinner reservations.
"I'm killing two birds with one stone. It's our anniversary, so I decided to take her away for a couple of days. We can end the strike and celebrate our anniversary at the same time," Gary said.
But this time the honeymoon is over for good. Kathy filed for divorce and seeks repayment for services rendered.
Appearing on ABC's "Good Morning America" Tuesday, Kathy said changes in the couple's marriage were short-lived.
"I ended up doing double the work. It just started becoming part of my job, mowing the lawn," Kathy said. "I started working part-time also."
Kathy did not charge her husband for "romance". She did share how she arrived at the charges on the itemized bill.
"I called around and got estimates from different people that charged for cleaning and ... I went from there," Kathy said.
Kathy found that Laundromats charge $7 a pound for doing laundry.
Kathy doesn't think she'll actually get the $500,000 for which she is asking.
"It's not about the money. It's about standing up for women' s rights and the respect they deserve and their duties around the house," Kathy said. "I know there's men that work hard too, but a woman doesn't get a day to take a break."

Cheer up, there's always me in the world. That's got to count for something.
If she wanted to bill him for all that stuff she should have put it in a pre-nup.

"It's not about the money. It's about standing up for women' s rights and the respect they deserve and their duties around the house,"
If she genuinely wanted to stand up for women's rights she would:
a) have left someone she obviously was not happy with, got a job and supported herself rather than being a whiny little bitch
b) not infer that women specifically have 'duties around the house'

Marriage should be illegal anyway.
So should relationships.
Males and females only need each other temporarily (sexual purposes) anyway.

I think people should not get married as often as they do.
They can be perfectly happy licking each other without legalities involved.
I mean, what was this woman thinking?
Did she honestly expect to be paid for her wifely duties when she got married? Was monetary reward part of the original contract?
I doubt it.
Since it wasn't, she cannot demand payment for services rendered without that original agreement. She better lose in court.
If she wins, let me tell you what I am going to do.
I am going to do odd jobs for random people for a few years, and tell them I'm doing it because I love them. I may even have some relations with them, if you know what I mean.
Then I am going to sue them for payment.
I'm gonna be a gazillionaire.
-sidenote, I don't have an extra 100K for housework, so, I was wondering if you were interested in just hooking up some special favors. I can provide compliments, flowers, dinners, and as a bonus you can take my wife out shopping.

Honestly, I he works and she stays at home, than the court should award her a swift axe to the face in her settlement.
If she worked for a living, then it's another story. Things should be split evenly.
My guess on this is that she didn't work until right at the end, and he was the main bread winner.
Having said that, I'd like to kick this chick in the chin with a steel toed boot.

I am going to go out on a limb here and guess this cunt rag doesn't work(if she does I take this back). It is a lot easier to cook, clean, pay bills, and take care of the lawn than do any full time job i have ever had.

That means she's basically asking for $100,000/year for the work she did.

That's the problem with men and cleaning or cooking. Women usually do the work, yet when a man suddenly decides he's going to cook dinner for once, he expects a lot of praise. How wonderful he must be to cook a special dinner for her! Yeah, right. Women do it all the time and never get such praise.
Still, that woman demanding to be paid for it is loony. Cleaning and cooking is done out of love!

==================
ALERT: If you don't work and all you need to do is cook and clean, than you should shut the fuck up.
I cook all the time for me and the wife, and we're both clean people. We can easily do it and I work full time and she's a student. It's not very hard, hell when she becomes a doc I'd love to only have to clean and cook, I'd have a lot of free time in my day

He should send her a bill for 50% of the mortgage payments, the car she drives, gas for it. Electricity, water, sewage, the food that she ate. He could charge her interest she ran up on the credit cards and he paid down.
