And yes I work full time and have a kid and husband and friends and hobbies. Honestly a healthy dose of vanity is a good thing. I hit up crossfire before work today and I feel great. My husband on the other hand is the issue and he definitely needs to drop 50lbs. I am from the south and its just kid of a given that UMC women keep their shit together. I don't get the women on this board who think they have to quit their job and spend thousands of dollars to not look like sweat pant slobs.

Too funny. I moved to the south, and there is no such thing as an overweight UMC woman. Seriously, they are ALL in shape. I used to find it annoying but I kind of appreciate the peer pressure.

My patients have serious mental illness and don't much care how I look. So I don't think about it much.
It hadn't really occurred to me that this might be a big deal to my husband. He seems to want to have sex with me often enough. I will have to ask him.

How do you look now versus when your husband met you?
Because that's what he finds physically attractive.

Men have had their balls taken away from them by criticizing and demonizing every masculine trait. Women are now miserable expected to work long hours, make money AND have a husband and children. This is diplopia.

Women need love and attention and care. They are delicate creatures and they need to be kept well maintained. Look at Arab or Persian women. Thats how a woman is supposed to look. Their husbands keep them flush with money and comfort.

This is where men come in too. They need to go back to being primary breadwinners and take on the hard job of earning a living.

I'm rather proud I can work long hours, make more money than my husband and be a good mother. Sorry you can't do it all.

Who provided the childcare for your child during the early years?
