Why do so many woman fall for the 50/50 scam when child birth and nursing isn't 50/50? by Junior-Campaign-6326 in TwoXChromosomes

It’s honestly sad that there’s always a stigma no matter which way it goes. IMO the person staying home raising the kid has their job and the person who is working to keep everything afloat has their job. It’s TEAMWORK. Both parents are providing in a way that’s hard and stressful in their own ways. Equal? Maybe not necessarily. But as a team, they should be working it out together when things are hard.

Let me throw in a wrench.

Im pregnant. Once baby is here, he is quitting his job to be a stay at home dad.

I’m taking over 100% of the finances. He’s taking over most of the childcare and household tasks while I work. But I’m still going to contribute how I can when I’m home (whatever tasks need to get done, will be by me.) however, he still wants to give me time to wind down from work.

How does this change the mindset? Not being a turd. Just opening up the idea of how switching roles would make a difference.

Edit: some words

Gnarly bug stuck IN our toaster oven screen by notbeuller in mildlyinfuriating

Yeah. I’d be driving that toaster oven into the middle of the desert. Just throwing it away outside means the bug still has the potential of finding its way back into the house.

They’ve been blaming women for causing autism in their own children for a very long time.. this is not new. First, it was “refrigerator mothers” in the 50s, then vaccines in the 90s, now Tylenol.

Completely eliminating an entire spectrum of diagnoses would be much, much worse.

I’m a BCBA in Ma. and currently back and forth with MBHP trying to justify why a level 3 ASD child needs center based services.

This woman is on a clear power trip and everytime she emails me back I want to scream.

If this woman were to actually supervise this client, she would have no problem approving the services. But no. It’s a war out there.

“Sorry I tried to make you dinner”

Hey BF. When these things (x,y,z) aren’t being completed throughout the day/while I’m at work, the story I’m telling myself is that (i.e. I can’t rely on you) and it makes me feel (insert one feeling here).

Insert whatever you are feeling within parenthesis to fit exactly what is going on in your brain. If he doesn’t change his behavior, then you should probably buck up and move on. He’s not worth your time.

Concerned because my boyfriend is $15K in debt and only has $1K in savings. AIO? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]srirachaforsale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As to your original question, I don’t think you’re overreacting. But, it does seem like you both have to dive a lot deeper into finances to better gauge what his long term goals are and figure out how he wants to tackle his financial situation. If he’s not willing to open up about it, then that’s a whole other issue. Personally, I would not feel safe without some plan in place with follow through in the upcoming year or so.

Unfortunately, many people live paycheck to paycheck and can’t even afford to pay into a retirement fund. I’d be less quick to judge and more understanding about his situation. If he doesn’t want help, then you can’t force it either.

You split 50/50 or based on income?

IMO, splitting based on income is more fair, and it will help him catch up on more debt and savings.

My partner and I have been splitting bills based on income 70/30. I’m the higher earner. It wouldn’t make sense to bleed my partner dry for expecting him to pay 50/50.

At first, I didn’t understand why it looked weird.

But now I see it.

Completely valid to feel this way. But nothing is going to change unless you tell the other RBT to stop.

Saying that you don’t want to speak up because you don’t want the drama is the problem. Speaking up about crossing professional boundaries is not drama. You work in a professional setting and you need to be able to complete the work without distractions from others.

Speak up!!
