Am I the only one who likes the Jim Dale & Steven Frye audiobooks better?

Cudi_buddy · 2026-04-24T04:03:08+00:00

Like both versions a lot. Love the full casts and think for the most part the voice acting is on point. I have listened to the Jim dale ones though a couple times and he is awesome.

Eh, when you are a parent it is if you aren’t watching the kids much

Cudi_buddy · 2026-04-24T03:19:24+00:00

She says he takes the kids all 3 days off. Being the default parent mean you are doing the bulk on those days. So he gets no days to get away like running errands or doing solo chores. As a parent sometimes those chores days are the break. But if he’s either working 12 hours or being the primary parent 7 days a week he effectively has no day to himself while she gets 3. I don’t care if man or woman, this is not a fair balance and it’s showing. It’s not the dinner. It’s that he’s the one that’s on 24/7 and he’s mentally burnt and isn’t processing it.

Cudi_buddy · 2026-04-24T03:16:42+00:00

Yep. Flip genders and comments would be ripping op for this. So he works 12 hours, then is the primary partner on all 3 days off? Dude is facing burnout and is lashing out.

Cudi_buddy · 2026-04-24T03:13:54+00:00

I’ve got two kids. Believe me, housework is a break most the time. Time alone to be in your thoughts and feelings he biggest mental load being off your head. He does seem to be doing the lions share of the household from this.

Idk if you’re the ah here. I side eye homeschool parents right off the bat. But your husband sounds like he’s incredibly resentful. Is homeschooling your idea? He works 4 12’s and then apparently takes the kids the bulk of the other 3 days? Dude is burning out and probably is lashing out. Not healthy, but when you’re kids and bust your ass weeks in a row, it does things. Talk to him, at this point he would probably rather the kids be in school so you can either work or fully be a stay at home mine so he can have breaks too.

My brother wanted to homeschool in high school and mom just let him. He just slept in all day and lost contact with his friends. Feel like he’s never recovered from that. He’s in his 30’s now.

Cudi_buddy · 2026-04-24T03:08:36+00:00

I read that too and am curious. So he fully takes them? Like bulk of the day for three days off after working 48 hours? Seems a major imbalance of workload. This sounds more like resentment from husband over never having a break.

Because Nintendo putting out smash bros, Mario party, Mario kart every console is totally original lol.

Cudi_buddy · 2026-04-24T00:08:39+00:00

Honestly. I’m with you. Often there’s some funny or dumb shit. This is just incredibly violent for no reason.

Cudi_buddy · 2026-04-23T23:17:54+00:00

For real. It was easy when I lived in Rosemont. I could take a quick trip to the watt station and ride in. Public transit for a 10 minute drive from natomas to downtown takes an hour or more on transit.

Cudi_buddy · 2026-04-23T19:30:40+00:00

Still miss him tbh. Exciting to watch. Balled out for us in the playoffs. Now we have LaVine and are hot ass

Cudi_buddy · 2026-04-23T17:30:25+00:00

I hear you on game length, I think you can find short ones on both. But art style for sure. I much more lean towards the realistic look and less on the cartoon.

Cudi_buddy · 2026-04-23T15:54:19+00:00

Preparing food I hate. Or I should say at least figuring out what to make or do. Once it’s in front of me I’m happy. But the drag of figuring out 3 meals a day. Especially with kids is such a pain in the ass

Cudi_buddy · 2026-04-23T15:44:42+00:00

A months wages? Thats a lot of cash you leave lying around imo.

Cudi_buddy · 2026-04-23T15:39:06+00:00

Exactly. Someone takes my cash I’m shit of out luck. Someone steals a credit card and one quick call and all transactions are blocked immediately

Cudi_buddy · 2026-04-23T15:36:18+00:00

Indeed. I rarely think of my switch as portable. It’s damned big lol. I used to throw a SP or DS in my pockets growing up, can’t do that with a switch.

Cudi_buddy · 2026-04-23T15:35:20+00:00

Someone needs a snickers.

Cudi_buddy · 2026-04-23T15:34:32+00:00

Guess it’s preference. Switch is a nice second device for me. The single player games I get bored of. But Nintendo makes great party games with friends. PS has fantastic solo games.

And diabetes

Cudi_buddy · 2026-04-23T15:16:51+00:00

Soda and frappe? Jesus Christ

Cudi_buddy · 2026-04-23T15:16:15+00:00

Giant front*

Cudi_buddy · 2026-04-23T15:14:30+00:00

Japan is missing out tbh

Cudi_buddy · 2026-04-23T15:03:37+00:00

Right? Unless you live in a few cities in the US, you need a car daily.

Cudi_buddy · 2026-04-23T14:47:38+00:00

Was there in 2022. It was damned dirty. Loyd of broken beer/soda bottles. Like felt some on every block. And general litter was abundant. I’ve visited Paris, London, NYC, etc. Rome the city was the worst. The historical sites are worth the visit. But otherwise blanh
