More like, “Honey - Can I go see Pearl Jam for the 28th time? I know it’s on a month before my sons birthday but, PEARL JAM finally has a residency in Vegas!”

Grunge is dead, man.

He’s going to pull shit like this the entire kids life.

I’m pretty sure this what black people think white people talk about all day.

He did, and she initially told him no. So, even though post-OTR show she was more open to it, she probably doesn’t want him to go. Not really. But, he was never honestly on the fence about this decision—he was always going to go to this show. He looked to the hivemind with the specific goal of rationalizing going…

good god this is inane. having been present for the births of both of my children, missing them would not have been The Worst Thing Ever, and could be made up easily through the mandatory decades of subsequent parenting.

Oh my fucking God. Dude, ask your wife what she’s comfortable with. If she says it’s fine and everything can be handled, then go and have a nice weekend relaxing before an incredibly busy (but rewarding) period of your life.

When you refer to people who need to feed their children and don’t want to be publicly shamed for it as “mombies,” you make it reeeeeeal hard to have sympathy for your plight.

Too bad your “mombie” had you. You seem like an utterly undelightful person. 

there has to be a common ground with the ‘lactivists’ that want to make sure you see them, though.
