Basic Listening Lesson 19

怎么样最近？好累好累的。为什么？你不是不工作了吗，在家待着还累？！我要做所有的家务，还要看孩子，丈夫一点都不帮忙，他巴不得我什么事情都做，就差给他喂饭了。如此累....那是太过分了

A: "Hey Stacy. What's going on?"

B: "I'm pretty tired these days."

A: "Why? You're not working so don't you have a lot of time on your hands?"

B: "I have so much house work to do. I have to take care of the kids, cook, clean, laundry, and the cycle never ends."

A: "How about your husband. Does he help much?"

B: "Not at all. He comes home and complains about his hard day at work. He expects me to do everything. He even wants me to feed him sometimes. Can you believe that?"

A: "That sucks."

B: "If he wasn't so lazy, I think I wouldn't have any complaints. He mows¹ the lawn², but can you believe he tried to convince³ me to do it?"

B: "Oh well. I'll have to live with it. What else can I do?"
