It’s the equivalent of getting a cheese and meat sampler from the local grocery with the markdown sticker still on it and the cellophane all shreddy from where the giver opened it up and stole all the Brie.

The late Mr. Reyes would sometimes attempt to help, but he’d do such a poor job that I didn’t want him “helping” again. To give him a break, he came from an ethnic group where men put food on the table and went to war. I come from an ethnic group that prizes an immaculate house. It’s good there was great love between…

We get takeout on Fridays. The rule is that I will pick it up if my husband orders it.
Every week he tries to tell me that it will only take 4 minutes to call and place an order. It’s only 4 minutes of work, so he wants me to do it.

I don’t find it surprising at ALL that this was self reported data, either. Because I guarantee you that men who participated in this survey 100% believe they were doing SO MUCH when in fact they were doing less than the bare minimum. 

“It’s time to get rid of the leftovers,” the official said.

My ex’s mom gave me this Nora Ephron book to read this “where’s the butter” passage. Kind of funny she was warning me about her son, but she was spot on.

Ughhh to that college BF. I had the exact same experience, laid up in my dorm room in illness agony. My bf eventually stopped answering his phone when I was like, “I think something is seriously wrong and I need to go to convenient care.” His friend and roommate (a guy I saw often, but wouldn’t have called a friend)…

I hope there is a nice warm place in hell waiting for him.

A friend of mine, a divorce lawyer, says her business is through the roof, and comprised primarily of women who are fed the fuck up. 

Yeeeeeeep!

Yeesh.  I just cannot understand this.  My wife and I have no children, but I still do a bulk of the cooking and the laundry because...I like to do it?  It will never stop being surprising to me that some couples don’t see marriage or a relationship as a partnership.

Learned helplessness! I was just explaining the concept to my parents this weekend, after hearing some STORIES about one of my mother’s colleagues. 

The main thing is trying to break the programming from the moment you were born to accommodate other people at the cost of your personal well being. It’s one thing for two people to agree that each person should do around their house “what they’re good at” but it’s another thing for men to take for granted that women…

Can this possibly surprise anybody with a brain stem? Men get away with as much as they’re allowed to, always.

It must be nice to be a man who just gets to tap out whenever they feel like it.

This sucks so much. I hope they recovery fully and quickly.

I hope Katie Porter seriously considers a Senate run in the near future.

She’s a chaos generator. If she was on Dark Shadows she would be my favorite character, not least because eventually she’d get hers.
