Uh, what? I don’t object to bringing up privilege and race and class, but all I said was that if someone says they have a nanny, people start accusing them of not raising their own children but no one does the same if you send your kids to daycare or let grandma babysit them on the regular. How is accusing someone who…

Sometimes, you’re stunned and exhausted and you just think, “Fine. Whatever.” and then as you sit there with a crying baby, getting more exhausted, you get more and more pissed. The pissed grows exponentially.

She has a full time job. She works from home 3 days a week. If there isn't a nanny when she is working from home, she's a saint because you don't get a damned thing done when you're at home with a small child. This isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. Everyone who works has child care. Why is everyone acting like working…

Whoops! A woman wasn’t a perfect communicator in her marriage! Better lambast her and blame her for the ills!!

God, are you listening to yourself? A cleaner isn’t a maid. A nanny is just reliable childcare, no different from childcare.

It was obviously only their love for Zayn that tied them together.

To me, the asking is a problem. Your wife is not your mother and asking for “permission” at a time like this communicates that you’ve already thought this through and decided that you think it seems like a good idea - you just want to make sure she won’t be mad (because deep down, you suspect there’s something to be…

I don’t understand this. Do so many people feel like having a nanny is some crazy privilege because they didn’t have a nanny and they have no idea what it is like? Did they perhaps have a grandparent who took care of them frequently as kids? Same thing minus the pay. Did they perhaps go to daycare? Same thing minus it…

Yeah, for all his faults detailed in the comments, his willingness to say “feminism is an active thing and people gave me a lot of attention for being a feminist recently when notably I was failing at walking the walk” is pretty commendable.

Ugh, that sucks. I would be pretty pissed off as well, and I’m realizing that my boyfriend would probably do the exact same thing. Not because he thinks it’s my job or whatever, but because he would forget about it. I’m pregnant with our first baby and I told him that I want a cleaning person once a week when the baby…

Eh, the part where this went wrong wasn’t when his exhausted wife said okay to him spending an extra two hours of me time while she sat home with the baby, it was him being completely unaware of what an insane request that was in the first place. Seriously, we have to expect men to be so stupid that they don’t realize…

Neither.

yes I agree. example my husband just asked me what was wrong why I was angry and I said “I’m not” and “Just leave it alone” because I knew he wouldn’t like the true answer. Finally I broke and admitted that I was frustrated that while I was gone for two weeks he did LITERALLY NOTHING around the house to clean it and…

Working from home is...working. I have had to work SO hard to convey this to family and friends. There’s no room for child care and house cleaning during my work hours, just as there isn’t if I were in an office building. I have to reply to one friend pretty much weekly NO I CAN’T GO GET DRINKS AT 3 PM. I AM WORKING.…

Are you serious? My husband had his undergrad paid for, but he’s not the norm! At least I didn’t think he was. I had 30k to pay back when I was done. I don’t know a ton of people who have parents with that kind of money. I’m going to try and do it for my kids, but they’ll have to live at home and go to the local…

Finally, something goes right for this guy.

i don’t think we have to listen to the opinions of anyone who is willingly dating Dave Navarro in the year 2015.

Work on it. If you fail to plan you plan to fail.

I’m questioning EWG’s spin on this due to their history of fearmongering. The links you posted refer to worker exposure. Which makes sense since the salon employees would be repeated constantly in a small space. But that is not the angle EWG is going for here. Which is why I would like to see it explained by a group…

This seems like a perfect opportunity to post this picture.
