I legit offered to be a stay-at-home dad (my wife makes almost double what I do) but even with her salary, we’d be struggling to stay above water with only one income. So, we both work and pay the equivalent of 2.5 extra mortgages a month for daycare.

My employer offered jack, fuck, and shit.

“This isn’t a huge deal; guys usually pay for dates, and it’s probably habit to just give the bill to the guy.”

Same!  Except I’m up at 3:15 every morning to take a piss and then attempt to get another hour of sleep.
