Actually, I’d say that emotional labor (planning social activities, managing a household, writing thank you notes) is compensated for people who have enough money to hire a personal assistant. Just like hiring a cook or a cleaner, these tasks absolutely have a price and have value, but many people can’t afford to pay…

But you don’t choose whether or not you have parents, many of whom are sick and aging. Even though everyone is born with parents, it normally falls to the female children to care for them. Most people have a family, even if it isn’t having children, and everyone needs work/life balance, but because SO MUCH unpaid…

I loled!

I wish he would have said his views devolved. At least that would have been accurate.

yes it is!

We still call our kid babby.

omg I am COMPLETELY obsessed with this theory!

You are so right on this! Both of my dogs are rescues, and both are very good. But one, who already had separation anxiety, went NUTS when I got pregnant. Luckily Prozac has made a huge difference for him. The second, who is old and going blind has recently began nipping at my daughter because he is scared and can’t…

We had a similar struggle, but it didn’t play out in the nursery. Also, the nursery completely doesn’t matter, so it is only worth thinking about for fun after making sure they have a crib. And thanks, it turned out really cute I think! (Although we found a cheap used chair that was Grey so that was part of our color…

Tell your friend that navy blue is basically a neutral. Also we did a Muppet theme and so it was easy to be really colorful without making it gendered.

I am so sorry for your loss! And fuck those people. What sorry excuses for human beings. It sounds like you did the hard but compassionate thing for your daughter.

No, I mean actually let the audience see what is going on with the twin, like they did with the Ezra reveal way back when, so there was more than 30 min to explain. They definitely had clues it was obvious there would be a twin.

Yeah, Vivian Darkbloom, but I thought we knew she was lying about at least some of that? Who can recall anymore?

I didn’t read the books, and Mona is the very best character on the show, and I still believe that was their best reveal ever. I just remember they said they weren’t going to do what the books did and fans believed them, and then they did anyway. I wish any other reveal had been like the Mona reveal, because there was…

I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, what fertility clinic calls you in the middle of the night to say “you’re infertile. k bye”?!

As someone who did and is, it’s just my own stupidity for thinking the writers would ever live up to their potential.

What really changed, I think, was that it went from 90% mystery and 10% romantic relationships in the beginning to the reverse by the end. And while the relationships (some of them) were interesting, it wasn’t what I wanted from the show.

An Ezra reveal would have been so fun. I kept hoping, despite all of the odds and the twin clues that were really obvious. I should have stopped watching three years ago so I could remember the good things about the show that I liked instead of just feeling extreme rage.

Just like how Mona was the first reveal as A, and everyone was pissed because ti was exactly the same as the books.

We found out Alex used Wren’s sperm in her super long monolog.
