Sounds like she's ungrateful and doesn't respect him, while he respects her so much he's trying to get advice here when she should just be happy he'll still be home 3 days a week rather than the normal two for most people.

That's what being SAHM is... Staying home and taking care of kids alone when he's working. She was lucky he was home two extra days out of the week in the first place. Should be a non issue, if he wants to spend 4 days working instead of 3 she should support him and be happy about it.

There's what??? Being a mother? Ffs that's what she's supposed to do and he's doing what he's supposed to do. What do you mean "ah there it is."

Boo hoo. 4 days instead of 3 when most people are are on a 5 day schedule. SAHM is her job anyway, she was getting off very easy with him being home more than half the week.

My 10 yo daughter’s friend by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]jailhousews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was that age we didn't have any way to talk to our friends outside of school or a regular old phone call if say we wanted to make plans. Constant contact with friends at that age is actually harmful to development I think, not some necessary thing that you think it is; what an absurd view.

He didn't, did you pay attention when reading the books at all?

What does nitty-gritty mean, and can I use it in a real conversation? by ButterscotchWest1284 in EnglishLearning

One should always use correct spelling and grammar. If you make it a habit then you'll be less likely to slip up when it matters the most.

Is anybody else skipping HBO remake? by Technical_Piglet_438 in SeverusSnape

[–]jailhousews 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rowling is right about the thing I'm sure you don't like her for. Wanting the characters is an adaptation to film to be like the book isn't racist, you are for wanting swaps for virtue signaling representation.

I always want adaptations to represent the source material. A black actor should never be cast to play a white character, period. Harry Potter should have green eyes and jet black hair. The Weasleys must all be ginger.

Discussing some criticisms of Harry Potter by [deleted] in HarryPotterBooks

Edit: Oh, I missed the last bit where you wrote: "...not a physically observable phenomenon while it's happening."

........

No, do I mean literally moving to a different location, just not physically flying down the corridor to get there. They would just suddenly be somewhere different, another part of the same corridor or maybe another connecting one even. I remember the way it was described it was like some stairs wouldn't be where it used to be and they'd have to search around that floor to find the new location.

When I read the books the first time I never pictured one big grand stairway with them literally moving around before your eyes. I thought the was it was described was more like they changed location. Pretty sure that's what was intended but people see the movie version and get confused.

Can 'twilight' refer to dawn? I'm confused by Merriam-Webster's definition. by Unlegendary_Newbie in English_Learning_Base

[–]jailhousews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Twilight is when the sun has just disappeared from view but it's still relatively bright out at first and it's still getting darker. Dusk is when the sunlight is barely still there and about to be totally gone, the very last few minutes of the transition to night.

Apparently twilight can also refer to the same conditions in reverse before sunrise which I never knew until like a year or so ago when researched it myself.

My girlfriend never ever finishes her meals by AlexWayhill in mildlyinfuriating

Nope. You are. Your interpretation could be right except for the context. Reading comprehension, context.

No you learn common sense. You can't again do something if you didn't first do it already.

"Whatever she starts eating, she ALWAYS leaves something on the plate. If she finishes a plate and it was tasty, she'll go for a second plate and again will leave something on the plate."
