What were you expecting him to say?

I mean I tend to agree that he’s not the best person for the job, but do you expect someone running for president to say that they aren’t the best person for the job? I find him saying that far less than mindblowing. Him saying anything else would be far more surprising to me. 

Is that a serious question? Men doing a good parenting job are lauded all the time while women are just doing their “jobs”. 

The senior engineer at my firm is brilliant, has multiple advanced degrees, and four children. She told me that at her previous job, people would sneer if she had to leave unexpectedly because of a child emergency but the CEO of the company had “dad” as his Twitter bio and got endless accolades for the bare minimum of…

I’m a physician and my husband does the larger load of the child care due to my crazy hours. He does this happily and genuinely enjoys being the “main parent.”Yet every doctor, the school, and basically everyone else consistently tries to call me because I’m the mom. And is shocked when I ask them to call my husband.…

I agree that married women get a raw deal, but not getting married at all doesn't solve the problem of entitled men. They'll just act entitled somewhere else.

I neither have nor want children and even I see how US society simultaneously fetishizes families and despises parents. It’s colossally fucked up.

Came here to say the same thing. I agree with the other posters who say that policing what people eat causes disordered eating. But the article describes “a world where women are portrayed as thin, pretty ornaments eating salads with minimal calories.” What world is that??

I don’t see how these shape the choices of single, working mothers, other than a minor reference in Miller’s piece. What I do know is that I was the breadwinner in my marriage AND I took care of all the home and child needs, exclusively. Though he made much less, we needed his income (or I thought I did - turns out I…

“Discrimination and family-unfriendly policies are among the causes, but research has suggested another influence: “The returns to working long, inflexible hours have greatly increased” in this “winner-take-all economy.”

Women eating junk food has always been a cliched sexy image, as long as the woman is conventionally hot. If she isn’t, then she’s disgusting.

Yes, it’s depressing going outside and seeing scores of emaciated people due to our social media portraying eating as abnormal.

Classic Jezebel: because my boyfriend asked me to make a difficult decision, I must be in an abusive relationship or he’s just an asshole I should have serious doubts about.

Don’t listen to the people judging you for rehoming them. You asked for useful tips, and those are neither useful nor tips. Your life has just changed in sudden and unexpected ways, and you don’t need that guilt on top of the rest.

We’ve got this. We can do it!

Don’t let people shame you if you need to re-home your cats. I got my lovely Katy-boo from a girl who couldn’t take care of her anymore and I couldn’t be happier. It was what was best for everybody. Life situations change and we have to make difficult decisions.

Purely by accident, I stumbled across an article recently explaining the difference between a dietician and a nutritionist. Do you know if you are working with an RD? Some states allow nutritionist to operate with no actual training.

Yep, sounds like it’s time to move onto someone who can be on the same page as you. Sending you all the commiseration vibes. I’m also trying to lose weight and get healthier, and it’s a fight every day. I’m not working with a dietician, but I am using myfitnesspal to track what I eat. MFP originally told me that I…

Does anyone have any useful tips about finding new homes for their pets? I’ve had my two cats, brothers from the same litter, since they were six weeks old. They are now 12. They’re high maintenance and create bigger messes and more destruction than some children do, plus they both have health issues, but I’ve always…

The love of my life passed away Wednesday.  There wasn’t any warning or sickness or anything.  He kissed me goodbye, left for work, and passed away from a heart attack. My heart is broken. We were together for seven years and had a fairytale kind of love.  We literally never once had a fight, ever.  He did everything…
