[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Losing a career for a man and losing a career for a woman is a big loss of identity. Plus, we’re living through almost a year of lockdown. I make our toddler amazing meals - but we have full-time childcare and a cleaning lady twice a month. Let’s stop mommy shaming and wife shaming. Start cooking on Sundays - crockpot stews; pots of rice or quinoa; baked sweet potatoes; veggie patties. Freeze half. Stock the fridge with pickles, olives, carrot sticks, celery sticks, yogurt, cottage cheese, prepackaged cheeses. Then all she has to do is heat up or make a quick omelet. Feeding your kids is a JOINT task. [/quote]

She is home all day.  This is her job now.  So he should work full time AND do all of the cooking for the entire week on Sunday?  That is bananas.

She can put some chicken breasts in the oven and roast some broccoli.  Cooking doesn't need to be hard, but it does take some planning and effort.  [/quote]

Yikes. So much misogyny here. You are nutty bananas. She’s home all day with small children. She IS working. She’s likely exhausted by the end of the day. Cooking can be a shared task.  :roll: [/quote]

OMG cry me a river. Boo hoo. You want to know exhausted?? Try shift work. Try working nights. Try trying to sleep in broad daylight with kids screaming running all over the house. Try bring nocturnal against your very biology.

This SAHM would not only be cooking a nice meal, but she should be packing this guys lunch.

Not sure though how retired military ended up so fat and lazy. That part of the story is a mystery to me. [/quote]

There are a lot of overweight people in the military.  As a woman in the air force, at 5’5” you can weight up to 165.  Plenty are at max weight at the time of weight- in. Which likely means their normal is 5-10 lbs more but they fasted/ dieted the prior weeks leading up to weight in.  Repeat every 6 months.  When these people get out, they aLways pack on even more weight[/quote]
