I think it depends on location. When my cousin and her family moved to California, it made more financial sense for her to work as a nurse and her husband to stay home with the kids than it did for him to work (LDS, so they didn’t really consider both of them working as an option, because who knows what some outsider…

The sad thing is nurses were criminally underpaid until very recently when men started to enter the field. Then it started to go up a lot. Men still have an easier time finding a job and rising up than women. I wouldn’t say we are paid pretty well but I would say it is decent. However most hospitals are cutting back…

Why haven’t you had kids? That’s why.

You’re not wrong. I wrote a post above about it.

If one more stay at home mom on facebook bitches about being unrepresented and tries to sell me cheap, over priced jewelry or tupper ware, I'm going to go get pregnant AND go to nursing school AND get a teaching degree. Uhggghhh..

This. But we all know who wins the Facebook martyr-off: stay at home moms.

Thank you!

right? Plus I don’t think looking like a hobbit is a negative. He genuinely seems like a nice dude to me.

Quick, say something even remotely critical of Serena Williams’ physical appearance and expect to get murdered around here. Then juxtapose both comment threads and wait for all the excuses as to why this is totes different. Something about WOC and white male privilege....

I don’t think she’s a hypocrite; you have to have clearly elucidated principles that you do not honour to be a hypocrite. Arken be running her mouth without first engaging her brain, which is really annoying, but arguably more benign than hypocrisy.

We also have a strong tendency to sue the pants off those teenager’s parents when said teen fucks up real bad.

Well, one definition we could easily legally use is “when they’re a legal adult in the country they live in.” Which would be 18 for America at least.

An 18 year old will know their way around a computer much better then their parents in the vast majority of situations unless one of the parents is a sys admin.

I agree with you though, it’s up to the parents discretion. And let’s be realistic, that kid that shot up the school in new england (My apologies, can’t recall…

Anti-Abortion Activists Climb Into Trash, Realize They’re Finally Home

Not to mention when, after years of hearing nothing but ‘yes, mr Trump, right away, mr Trump’ his coddled ego will run aground on the government bureaucracies, and his whole ‘I’m a business man, I know how to get things done’-shpiel will come crashing down. If he somehow manages to get elected I imagine he’ll resign…

Trump’s thin-skinnedness is probably his biggest weakness as a politician. His horrific beliefs aren’t bad, his insubstantial policy objectives aren’t a problem, but the fact that he can’t laugh off or dismiss even the gentlest criticism is going to be deadly for him. He’s not always going to be in a position where he…

Frequently the children of the very wealthy have very little guidance in the home - they are raised by nannies (one nanny asked me why these people have children?) and as they get older are left very much on their own with high priced schools left with the responsibility for which they are well paid. Wealthy young…

I let my dog borrow my phone once to check his email while I used the bathroom and when I came out he’d bought 7 pounds of beggin’ strips on my Amazon account, texted one of my employees a drunk selfie of me, and put a pass code on my phone but refused to tell me what it was until I let him eat a pork loin and a dozen…

Well, heck. I saw this kid on TV last night? recently? playing Wembley Stadium. Yeah, just him and his guitar. No band, no light show, no backup dancers. Just dude on the stage singing. And there were like A BILLION people in there - people who paid their own hard-earned money - screaming and cheering and clapping and…

I don’t get why you have it out for this guy. Yeah, he’s annoying, but he’s just a kid. And he’s a great singer/songwriter. Leave him alone.
