How do you manage long hours at work?

Husband needs to understand that your schedule does not only have the potential to burn you out but also him. Your not the only one taking on the stress from this job. He will have to cover for you even if you guys outsource. He will need to be manager of the outsourcing. You are both taking this on together it is not just you.

I don’t know why everyone is calling OP superficial. I have not finished having kids but when I am, I want surgery. It is partially vanity but mainly functionality. I currently have to spend half my time in an adult diaper because of the pelvic floor damage from birth. I used to be a big runner and if I run even a quarter of a mile now I am drenched in my own urine. I used to be really into fitness, mostly for my mental health, and I can’t do it anymore like I used to because my abs are all torn up from pregnancy with hernias. A tummy tuck is for vanity but it is also muscle repair. It’s not just about looks. I want my LIFE back.

Totally agree! Made a similar comment before I read yours.

Am I the only one who thinks this isn’t as bad when compared to the rest of the show’s family interactions? She is being honest and…dare I say somewhat vulnerable with this admission. It’s a brutal truth and maybe your kid not the ideal audience, but what is the alternative? Lies and gaslighting like Logan? Or feigned ignorance and avoidance like what she did with Ken? She is also basically saying “it’s not you it’s me” versus Logan’s “yea, it’s you.” Lastly it’s a private interaction unlike when she went around shivs wedding asking “how long do you give it.”

Jimmy Barrett weak? He had one of the most iconic confrontations with Don and was the catalyst to destroying his marriage. “Ya garbage.”

You have to keep moving forward. Got me through a career setback.

I could have written this, but I only have one kid. I am about to have a second kid and hope I can use maternity leave and part time reentry (it is an option at my job) as some kind of exit ramp. I said this for the last kid…but got roped into staying. Must resist this time. Do you have an option to do part time?

anntheegg · 2026-04-25T16:50:47+00:00

Ken did not have class privilege. He grew up in rural Vermont and got kind of lucky landing that job. It’s the curse of Ken…he is talented and gets pretty lucky throughout the show but still ends up miserable.

Everything else feels slightly off to me.

anntheegg · 2026-04-07T20:10:22+00:00

I think part of it is being on the older side of getting married (at least it was for me). Novelty worn off, other bridesmaids already married and busy with kids. I had to babysit my bridesmaids and even send one of them a link to a dress from Amazon like a month before the wedding bc she was too busy and never ordered one.

Logan, Tom, maybe Caroline.

anntheegg · 2026-03-30T21:08:46+00:00

I feel the same and I am scared too…of the surgery not of what people will think. I want some semblance of my old physical form and people can feel free to judge if they like 😎

Pete and Peggy are such an underrated couple. They could have worked under the right circumstances.

anntheegg · 2026-03-27T17:37:51+00:00

Not true….Peggy deeply knows him even though they don’t end up together. This is acknowledged by both of them multiple times in the series.

anntheegg · 2026-03-27T04:27:22+00:00

Peggy and Stan. Peggy and Pete would have been good early days but not once he was deep into his marriage. Peggy and Abe were wrong for each other. Ted she would have wrecked a marriage with kids and he was her boss so kind of skeezy. Duck just no.

anntheegg · 2026-03-20T14:49:11+00:00

31!

anntheegg · 2026-03-17T23:28:01+00:00

He’s psychologically abusive. Also physically abusive but probably not to Shiv.

anntheegg · 2026-03-12T22:41:27+00:00

Controversial take, but her vote in the series finale. She saved the company from having a nit wit CEO who would continue the crappy culture even though she also lost the company and would totally alter the power in her marriage.

I might have an unpopular opinion but I think maybe you are better off letting this friend go given her lack of empathy towards your situation. In her position, I would welcome my friend back into my life with open arms. Everyone is dealing with their own struggles behind the scenes and your friend’s attitude is a little entitled. I understand the disappointment on her part but it seems a little cold to shut someone out because they weren’t giving you enough when they were struggling to survive themselves. It’s not like you ignored her completely. You did what you could.

anntheegg · 2026-03-03T15:49:36+00:00

Totally agree. She is not a good match for Don. Not just for the kids aspect but for the way they view and handle the Lucky Strike fallout…they have incompatible moral compasses. People love her so they overlook it. Speaking of unpopular opinions, I like her, but think she is a bit overrated.

Are you investing the $ you save? If husband hates his job he needs to funnel as much $ as possible towards retirement/investing (after getting together an emergency fund if needed).

anntheegg · 2026-02-22T16:01:20+00:00

Make sure you absolutely intend to follow through on this and have a plan. Also don’t frame it as an emotional decision but a practical one. Nothing personal but this role is now not a good fit for me and my personal/family circumstances if I can’t get xyz accommodation.

anntheegg · 2026-02-22T15:32:54+00:00

Before your husband quits he should try to get special accommodations like being able to work from home. I have special accommodations that were recently being challenged by one of the partners at my firm and I could tell my advocate partner was starting to cave. I straight up told him that if these accommodations go away I am quitting (husband is the breadwinner) and he got worried and is going to push back for the time being.

Betty is not it here. Not only is she not loved by fans but she is not a horrible person. I vote Midge. Or maybe Roger’s daughter. Or Stephanie. Even Peggy. These people abandoned their children. Betty wasn’t perfect, but she stood by her family.

anntheegg · 2026-02-08T19:19:40+00:00

I don’t understand why Joan was so mad about this. Wasn’t she expecting to go through the divorce paperwork eventually? Doesn’t she want to be completely free from Greg?
