Americans and their stupid 4wd amirite?I'm still a little annoyed about the way you park.

are you already making the mashed potatoes?So it's gonna be that kind of party?
x2I hate you because you wear your hood under your helmet.
I mean, this is a fashion faux pas apparently, but it doesn’t make me an asshole, I don’t thinkI hate you because you wear your hood under your helmet.
Nice, dude. I clearly don't know the entire story, only what you've explained here, but this does seem like a wise choice. I gathered from your explanation that both you and her are kinda grumpy about the whole thing and neither feels like things were 'fair' so talking about it is probably the way to go. Equitable distribution of household labor and responsibilities isn't an easy thing to sort out.I’m going to talk with her about it and maybe we can hammer down something more concrete, like we strictly alternate who is the one who takes a sick day.
Nah - that's easy. Them jobs are worth 'bout tree-fiddy.<snip>
Unsolicited advice: in my opinion you'd do well to keep in mind that her part-time job at the school isn't the only job she has, nor is being a doc your only job. It's the non-paying jobs that are more difficult to quantify.
I’d like to know how much @Toshi contributes to laundry, cooking, cleaning, life admin in general before having this conversation with her.Unsolicited advice: in my opinion you'd do well to keep in mind that her part-time job at the school isn't the only job she has, nor is being a doc your only job. It's the non-paying jobs that are more difficult to quantify. And as others have said prior, the real value to her in the school job is likely not financial—and teasing out what that value is to her won't hurt.
Seriously, good luck.
Oh YOU weren't, we know.I was no more sane prior to kids, for the record
Laundry - mainly wife as far as the kids’ clothes are concerned. I do my own as a big boy.I’d like to know how much @Toshi contributes to laundry, cooking, cleaning, life admin in general before having this conversation with her.
I'll do my best to find some time for this. I already started a PM.Evan, air your other non kart related grievances with me pls. I would like to be aware of them and address them.
These are precisely the "non-job jobs" that can be so difficult to quantify and ensure equity of, in my experience. Even for folks who have chosen to not procreate.Laundry - mainly wife as far as the kids’ clothes are concerned. I do my own as a big boy.
Cooking - I do maybe 20% but am the dish master whenever she cooks.
Cleaning - I hire the cleaning lady and she doesn’t really outside buying organizing bins seemingly constantly.
Life admin - I handle all the finances, the lawns, the cars, etc. She organizes kid activity schedules. We both shuttle them everywhere for their myriad activities.
The talk was had, and our consensus is to have a strict alternating of sick days to care for le kid. I will call in formally and make others cover on my days, and won’t take regard of whether it’s a “special” day, like where I have pancreatic conference on Tuesdays. When she’s not working (over summer) then it’ll fall to her by default. If I have an academic day that can be converted to sick then I’ll take it.I gathered from your explanation that both you and her are kinda grumpy about the whole thing and neither feels like things were 'fair' so talking about it is probably the way to go.
2” over 48, trace over 24. So none really…To answer the question posed in the op I need to know how many inches of fresh powder there was
And I actually I think your kid is the asshole for being sick on the day you were supposed to be skiing.
I won't say who, but a dude who used to post on here once said that he wasn't sure if he was going to get to do shuttle runs since his wife was having hand surgery that afternoon. He thought she could drive herself home just fine.On the bright side, JohnE seems like a chivalrous gentleman now.
