[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For once this one didn't hit home for me. But they could do one where the wife reports her husband and kids missing because he took them to the playground and then didn't come home for 5 hours and stopped answering his phone because, and this is a direct quote, "I was playing Pokemon."[/quote]

Agree. I am squarely Gen X and don’t know any husbands like this. Now my father and his peers, yes they fit this mold :-) [/quote]

What? Gen X here, and I know plenty. [/quote]

Then I’ll tell you to branch out because clearly the husbands in your life are a negative influence on one another. This isn’t normal husband behavior of men age 60 and under. [/quote]
NP. Congratulations on marrying a man who doesn't behave this way. Many of us have different experiences than you...hard to imagine, I know. And obviously our experiences are common enough that people in the SNL writers room understand it and can write a skit that resonates. I can pretty much guarantee the Honeymooners didn't have a family calendar with the DW putting her business trips on it while the DH still claimed never to know they were happening. This is a modern phenomenon that a lot of us experience. It's wonderful for you that you don't.[/quote]

NP. This makes me mad because you know if you husband acted this way at work he'd be fired. Why do you let him get away with it at home? [/quote]

How do they “get away with it” exactly, and what’s that got to do with women telling them and then they forget? I can’t literally pound it into his head. [/quote]
This. I guess we could divorce them, which is the marital equivalent of firing. But I've decided not to be so hasty.[/quote]
