They must know my father in law. My mother in law jumps up to get him coffee, and he is very proud of his inability to make even the most basic food for himself. What's more, he was openly antagonistic about my dad, who always did his share (and then some, whole other story) and who is a very accomplished home cook.…

I fear I'm actually sort of snarky about how much my husband does when I talk to the other moms. I know a lot of people in very traditional marriages where the guy is the only one who works and is never really around, so he's like an 80s Mr.Mom cliche is if is with the kids for any amount of time alone.
Absolutely. We have a cleaning lady once a week, and she does laundry. But the kids still put away the laundry and do other stuff. My 10 year old can make you a mean breakfast burrito, too.
Yea, no guns here! No good can come of that.
I don't understand- brunch is one thing you CAN do when you have kids. You can bring them, or else go with friends while your spouse stays with them since it's a weekend day (assuming you work weekdays). I guess it's harder to go to a really fancy place, wait a long time, and drink for hours. But the actual eating…
Here's my issue with all these shows— they act like all the really rich, successful lawyers are in criminal defense. Wrong. Maybe some, but it's a minority. To be accurate, they would show them hip deep in a commercial litigation matter with 900000 boxes of documents and a zillion motions. And it would be so…
This is one of the reasons we bought a house in the South Bay 13 years ago. Not that there isn't crime, but you call the cops and they are there inside of three minutes. I don't trust LAPD to come help me (although it sounds like they did in this case). That said, we still have an alarm system, a dog, and we leave…
Saltylady here (I don't know the passwords for any of my burners so I have different ones for different computers). Three days a week and about a 50 percent pay cut, at the same time I was paying a shit ton for childcare and preschool, literally well into the mid five figures per year. We were professional but…
My daughter had it happen when she was 4 or 5. I still have no idea how it would escape her clothes— the girl would be wearing leggings! Ugh, we would see it on the floor and be like is that a rock? NOOO that is not a rock, iccckkkkkkk!!!!!
Thanks— we did end up finding a dog so we're set. Which is good because I'm going to try really hard not to go more than a mile inland this weekend— it's hot as hell!
We just saw one at the ice cream shop— it was quivering constantly, like so many of them do. I gotta say, I'm not fond of that type of dog. But I wonder if that nervousness is the overbreeding?
Doesn't surprise me. All the really fancy dudes at my old firm were drunks, and drinking can give you uncontrollable shits.
Nope, sunny Southern California.
My now 9 year old daughter used to be our own little poo bandit. She just craps really easily and quickly, so if anything was off with her stomach, she would have issues when she was like 5. You would find those little escaped poo rocks here and there. I remember specifically telling a friend of mine NOT to feed her…
Hmm, I don't know- I used to work at a fancy corporate law firm and I never heard about floor shitting. The word processing ladies took giant smelly dumps ALL THE TIME, but no floor or wall action. It's only now that I'm in house that I have to talk shit with the HR folk a couple times a year.
I'm an employment lawyer and I am dying laughing over here. Thank god it's my day off. I'm trying to think how I will advise them if this new pooper doesn't quit it.
Probably. I'm the one who gets to look up things like "reasonable accommodation incontinence." But it's the HR people who have to get in a conversation with an employee about adult diapers, and why you shouldn't relieve yourself in your office or on your chair because the facilities guys are now refusing to enter your…
The best poop stories come from our HR people at work. We have had several poop artists at our company— they leave little presents in the hallways, or just completely defile a bathroom. I just got a call about one a couple days ago— they were finding little trails of tiny escaped poops, and then just a totally f'd up…
Yea I heard dalmations have issues and aren't the greatest sometimes with kids. The people we bought our house from had a giant one that lived in their tiny backyard— so sad. In our search for a larger breed dog (lab or golden), we've learned that's what happens to so many of the puppies that are bought from…
I'll tell you what happened to them, and all the ones people bought as part of that trend— they're all at the fucking pound. And yes, labradoodles all the fuck over my neighborhood, it's disgusting. I thought they were sort of cute for awhile, but now I want to punch their owners. And I'm not even a die hard never…
