I did not like My So-Called Life or The Wonder Years. Still do not.
I was really surprised at how many people answered that yes, they would under those circumstances on the "Do you go to the doctor with your husband?" thread. Grown men should know how to explain their issues, ask questions, and remember what the doctor says/take notes.
(at least with respect to non-serious stuff which is what the OP sounded like to me -- for serious, incapacitating, or baby stuff I totally understand why a spouse would go along)
If you can't fit into an airplane seat with the armrests down, you should be required to purchase another seat.
Agree, and I'll add that even if you can sqeeze into one, if your love handles are covering up the arm rest, you should still be required to buy another seat. I do not want to hold your love handles in my lap all the way to China.
I plan to rent for the rest of my life. I do not care at all that I will never own my own home. I also have no problem with car loans (even the 5yr type).
Vegans and vegetarians come across as self-righteous to me.
All of them or just the ones who go around telling people about their food choices? I am neither, I'm just curious.
I have no problem with people reclining their seats all the way on an airplane and do so myself. I didn't know this was a potential UO until it came up on another message board once.
A nanny is certainly a FT job if they put in FT hours.
Note that a nanny can't typically: -run their own errands during the day -take the children they watch to their own personal doctor's appointments -wash their own laundry during the day -go out to lunch with friends and take the child they watch along -prep and/or cook dinner -put the child in front of the TV when they (nanny) are sick -follow the schedule that they feel suites themselves + the child best -put the TV on for their own enjoyment while picking up the house/toys, etc. -go to work in their pajamas -have their own friends over for play dates unless the children are of similar ages
As a stay at home mom someone can do all or most of the above.
Family was joking about how when their baby wakes up in the middle of the night, the dad would poke the mom (a SAHM) and say, "hey the baby's crying". I didn't see what was wrong with that. After all, the dad has to get up early and works full time+ to support the family so the wife could stay home.
Wow, I had NO idea that was an unpopular opinion. Apparently it is. They all said I'd understand when I have kids, but I doubt it since we'll both we working.
I also think SAH is a choice and somewhat of a luxury (depending on your situation). Please don't flame me too hard.

All of them. Especially those who blog about it. I was a vegetarian until a few months ago. I HATED telling people I was one and explaining my reasons. Every time I did, I felt like I was being judged for being judgy. Ha.
Curious - are ft nannies not considered ft employees? Or is there something special about the kid being your own?
It's the difference between being in your own home and having full say/control vs. being given instructions and not being in your own home with the freedom that comes with that, and it being your own child.
