    It probably might make it more difficult to concentrate and do the work. Are you recording? If it's not recording, turn up your volume I guess.

    In a couple of cases, I think it was a single mom trying to flirt with me ('aww you're baby sitting this weekend') because I don't wear a wedding ring. (long story short, my hand got pinned between a 1940s chest freezer and a stair riser. and I nearly lost my finger to the ring and I haven't worn one sense unless i'm suited up).

    But it's still condecending as fuck.

    You attractivedude dads need to learn the art of just being ugly. No one comes within 10ft of me in public let alone point an expensive camera in my general direction. Only my wife is stupid enough to look in my direction and usually only when she's drunk.

    It's biology, man.

    Our ovaries and uterii literally gasp when we see a guy being great with a baby.

    Think I'm gonna buy a xbox with my stimulus money. It will help pass the time during lockdown when I'm not turking.

    Right but to refer to me watching my kid at the park as "Babysitting the kid" is condecending as fuck. Because y'know it's called parenting. And I'm kinda proud that i'm doing it... and doing it without striking my child.

    I pre-spent mine on fat girl comfy clothes because I seem to need many more of them right now and

    A nice faucet to replace the one that just broke. I do not do work on my home because when I'm forced to I have mid-expensive tastes (I don't need an $800 faucet but I am drawn to the ones in the $300-400 range). I am not an "$89 kitchen faucet" kind of gal.

    yeah, see my earlier comment. i don't like it called babysitting when it's a parent. That's just....weird. Babysitters are paid.

    It's an investment. You use it a lot.

    ok, maybe not all babysitters are paid...but y'all get what I mean.

    Even my mom never said, "I'm babysitting my grandson". She always said she was spending the day with him. She never felt like a babysitter. She was grandma!

    When either my inlaws or my mom watch JH, we tell people he's at Camp Gramma. Because, it works.

    And you never realize how often you use your faucet until this happens:

    [​IMG]

    and you need pliers to make it work.

    (That's the crappy faucet that was here 12 years ago when I bought this place that I kept meaning to replace but kept putting off until it decided to break in the middle of this craziness.)

    The only thing that gets you more attention from women is being divorced. Divorce is like taking care of a baby and puppy while having a stable job all at the same time.

    We tried. The plastic that they need to grip on to is starting to crumble. Soon there will be nothing left.

    This happened a week ago. I tried to ride it out but I was cooking easter dinner yesterday and turning water on and off all the time feeling what is left start to crumble and I could feel that the true end is nigh.

    It was cracked and crappy when I moved in.

    I just bought a Moen. Those mostly last and don't dissolve in the hard water we have around here.
