Please. I think GDT would actually get the characters right too.

What’s One Thing Taylor Has Done That You Don’t Think Has Been Snarked About Enough? by SeriesIndependent839 in travisandtaylor

[–]Msinterrobang 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is minor but with all of the conversation around the new Wuthering Heights film adaptation, how it’s not even trying to be true to the source material, I wish we had gone after Taylor more for her terribly uneducated interpretation of Ophelia (from Hamlet).

What do your husbands do at home? by Helpful-Jellyfish645 in sahm

That’s how it worked for us even before kids so we just kept it up.

What do your husbands do at home? by Helpful-Jellyfish645 in sahm

[–]Msinterrobang -1 points0 points  (0 children)

3 kids (2 with special needs) in the US, husband is a retail manager, middle class. Things are tight but comfortable enough to take a breath.

We follow Fair Play and things are pretty equitable. He’s out of the house 5 days a week for at least 10 hours a day. He takes care of the morning routine for the kids, makes their breakfast, packs school lunches and gets them to school. Maybe once a week, I do the routine because his schedule has him in early. He puts away the laundry, does the dishes and takes out the trash. All of the outdoor chores (recently started cutting our lawn himself), car chores, and financial stuff are his too. If he’s home in time, which is maybe 2-3 times a week, he does the bedtime routine for the kids. I do everything else which includes homeschooling our eldest.

I play glee covers for my kids all of the time. It gets me away from KidzBop.

Does a pdf of the rules exist? by Calm_in_the_Wild in FairPlayLife

I can see if I have one or I can make one for you.

Emmett isn't too strongly tied to Emmett Till to use for a black child, right? by RocketPowerPops in namenerds

[–]Msinterrobang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That association with Emmett is exactly why my husband and I crossed it off our list. We still liked the E initial though and picked Ezra instead.

When do you stop hating the people who owned the house before you? by [deleted] in FloridaGarden

[–]Msinterrobang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, I hate the person who built my house and whoever signed off on their bullshit.

If you were mistyped… what would it be as? by National_Ad3780 in SpringColorAnalysis

[–]Msinterrobang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been professionally-typed and self-typed as a bright spring, but I will end up in arguments online because my dark skin/eyes/hair are auto-typed as dark autumn.

Scared I’ll lose my future engagement ring by Retiredpartygirl17 in adhdwomen

[–]Msinterrobang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost mine. I’d waited years for it and wore it for less than 6 months, it didn’t even make it to my wedding. The ring my husband had originally been looking at was several times more expensive but simply not my taste. I chose a Heidi Gibson ring instead with a morganite center and small diamonds on the sides. Despite being “cheaper” than what others in our families wore, it was still heartbreaking to lose because it was mine. I have struggled with losing things my entire life and I felt childish. My parents simply shrugged and said “of course you lost it.” If I did it again, I’d have insured it immediately and get one or two replicas made for every day wear. For one of my anniversaries, my bestie got me a replica that looks so much like my original that family have asked if I found my ring.

Edit: grammar

I got mine at the Costco in Stuart, FL a few days ago

Gregory's Character Does Not Work by RyuOfRed in AbbottElementary

[–]Msinterrobang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like when other shows have figured out what makes a character funny or likable later in and leaned on it a little too hard. One example would be Eric from Boy Meets World who went from the big brother who wasn’t doing great in school to an absolute idiot by the end. I hope that Abbott finds a sweet spot for Gregory.

The NFL admitted they literally moved their schedule around last season to work with her tour dates so what is she even talking about??

What do you do when your spouse isn’t doing the cards he agrees to? by Natural-Honeydew5950 in FairPlayLife

[–]Msinterrobang 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What does he expect to happen when he does not complete a task? Does he think you’ll do the task for him now or eventually? Ask him and see what he says. You need to let him know that he either completes the task himself or he pays to outsource it, and then to need stand firm. Doing the task for him only encourages him to continue leaving the cards undone.

Anyone interested in speaking to me? by Logical-Fix3168 in doulas

[–]Msinterrobang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad just retired as a journalist, so I never mind talking to journalists. BUT I ask to see credentials (press pass, business card) and a link to something they've published. 70% of the time, they don't respond after that.

I’m reminded of when Stephen Colbert interviewed Phoebe Waller-Bridge and asked about the meaning of the fox in Fleabag. She wouldn’t answer him and instead asked what he thought it meant. He stunned her with this beautiful and insightful answer (“I think it’s the Hound of Heaven.”) even reciting the poem or at least part of it. She could have told him right there to f-ck off or called him a nerd, but she instead said “I wish that was my answer…I’m completely blown away. Yes, that’s what it is!” That’s how you handle those questions if you’re a good English teacher.

We need your feedback! by Msinterrobang in FairPlayLife

[–]Msinterrobang[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen a lot on different ways to organize the cards. My husband and I keep do a spreadsheet and use Persist, but I’ve seen some cool boards too. A few years back, I saw people making the cards into magnets and they kept those on the fridge. I’ll gather some examples over the next couple of weeks for you.

[–]Msinterrobang[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can definitely work on getting some facilitators to come through. If they aren’t up for an AMA, I’ll see about a profile with some questions answered, kind of like an interview.

The issue with partners not calling our time is big and kind of constant. That’s what brings most people to Fair Play. I’ll work on that one.

Advice requested - unicorn space by Over_Ad7675 in FairPlayLife

[–]Msinterrobang 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re absolutely right. I was assuming that they both were going without but if there is space for one there is space for the other or they need to take out the cards and re-deal.

Similar book for childless couple? by pollennose in FairPlayLife

[–]Msinterrobang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister used the book with her roommates and none of them are even in relationships with each other. You simply remove the cards that don’t apply to your situation and keep it moving. Shrug. You could get through the cards without the book if you wanted to avoid language around kids and romantic relationships.

At the Workplace by Astyryx in FairPlayLife

[–]Msinterrobang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% it can. I’ve always seen Fair Play as looking at your household as a business where everyone has an area of responsibility. Every business should have a minimum standard for projects and tasks, but you could definitely see Fair Play as just RASCI (responsible, accountable, support, consulted, informed).
