I did. He said he’s fine with me having sex with women while being married to him, and he seemed pretty proud of himself for “letting” me.

We tried, and he still ended up doing nothing. Most mornings he doesn’t even wake up until they are out the door. He stays up late and I wake up early so him doing night time chores made more sense. Except that it doesn’t matter because he just does nothing or a shitty job anyway.

Thank you for the link. I spent a lot of last night reading it and goddamn, it could be the rough draft of this generation’s Feminine Mystique.

Oh are they? I misread then.

YES. Even if he miraculously manages to load the dishwasher, the hand wash only dishes are still dirty and probably not even moved off the stove. No wiped counters, no swept floors, the coffeemaker will not be set up.

My daughter is super disappointed about Supergirl. It’s the best night of the week for her. I get the reasoning, but it’s not as if they will stop showing this kind of subject matter on TV. Waiting a week just seems... hollow.

That is my life and I hate it. I will sit on the couch on Jezebel or reading or whatever, and three hours after he says he was going to clean the kitchen it is now bedtime and I am fuming. I go to just load the damn dishwasher. This is the moment, every time, where he says he was just about to do that. Every time.

My husband has never done a single one of those things. In fact, I’m often left with an empty tank because he forgets to fill it up when it’s low on the reg.

I just finished Neurotribes and it was great. My favorite graphic novel is Marbles, by Ellen Fourney (about her Bipolar diagnosis and dealing with it.)

J Law, Imma let you finish, but Amy does the best falls.

Right? For two months I had my son in a school that said the same thing. I joined the board (it was co-op so taking that position meant less cleaning days) and the budget was a disaster. It didn’t add up at all. It turns out, the administration was giving themselves raises- the secretary needed a new car and that very…

This is why I don’t work. (For money.)

My husband, brother in law, and son are all autistic and prefer to be addressed that way. They cannot be separated from their autism. My husband jokes that it’s not a handbag. Every aspect of who they are is because they have a different neurotype, and in my family’s case that neurotype is a badge of pride and they…

That sounds super fun to me, but different strokes and all that.

In either case it’s just fucking awful.

I read pages and pages of stories, so I don’t know if anyone ended up killing themselves or kid in this way, but according to everything I read the most dangerous time for a kid is when the mbp parent is caught or it’s clear people are closing in, and then the parent typically doubled down on whatever they were using…

Thank you for the work you did. I was an abused kid and no one helped me, and I’ve had to call about my neighbor and her kids because her husband was incredibly violent. You are my queen.

When going some serious googling because I had a friend with MHP, I found several articles about parents making their children ill and it being thought to be CP. There were also several about kids who did actually have CP and their parents made them ill in addition. It was the most depressing shit to read.
