Funny how work is only work if you’re being paid for it.

You don’t have to climb these for them to tip: you just have to open the drawers! Dressers tip from using them like dressers, not from climbing them.

I’ve bought many things at Ikea, and they ALWAYS instruct you to anchor pretty much anything, and definitely include equipment. That said, if these dressers tip more easy, that matters.

You’re kidding right? Even in your counterpoints, it’s about men killing men, to counter the point that men kill women. And then you ask why bring up gender at all.

I think they mean it’s only the boys who are having their childhoods ruined over the remake.

As a non-drinker (for no reason), I agree! I’ve never had an issue being around people who are consuming alcohol as part of our shared activity. I sometimes provide drinks for different events that I host, along with other foods and beverages. And sometimes I don’t, and it’s NBD. I still like a lot of activities that…

I came of age as a teetotaler, and most of my friends took the traditional route of partying. For the most part, I didn’t go to their parties. But we still hung out. It’s not like they were drinking 24/7, or suddenly stopped enjoying every single activity we’d previously enjoyed together.

Pretty much anytime you give a reason (for anything), it just gives them something to argue with. For anything. Providing a reason just prolongs the discussion. Unless they’re clearly accepting your declination and Then ask why, they’re not asking out of curiosity, but with intent to argue.

Yeah, if you’re only looking from neck to waist.

book clubs and hobbies

I think hobby friends are the sweet spot. Some of them will also be parents. Some of them won’t. I’ve gotten sucked into too many ladies’ nights out where the ONLY thing we got to talk about was family-life-can-be-tough stuff. When you know the other person hardly gets a chance to complain with people who get it, you…

Message boards are for debate topics. Don’t even bring ‘em up with IRL parent pals.

So sick of reading articles aimed at women, telling them to put out for their men. Especially sick of reading articles aimed at mothers, telling them to put out for their men.

Nah, it’s about how it’s exhausting to put he kids to bed, and then instantly rev yourself up for sex in the short amount of time before you have to be a sleep. A lot of women definitely have an easier time getting geared up for sex when they weren’t the ones who just put the kids to bed.

Not requiring the men to take it, IS leading to problems. We don’t have to reinvent the wheel here. We can look to other models, and see what they’ve already learned, and the adjustments they’ve already made.

That’s quite a reach. Mandatory parental leave resulting in forced PMS leave? Wowzers! For one, it’s not about the individual, nearly as much as it is about society. And since when does one rule that makes sense for needed social change, mean we MUST have other rules that don’t make sense for social change? There are…

That sounds awesome. You should totally request time off of work to go take care of a newborn. Daycares don’t accept kids under 8 weeks, so in your time off, you’d make a mint, while the chump parents who are taking time off, are just exhausted zombies going stir crazy.

I heard they started requiring the dudes to take parental leave.
