Poorly

Trouser snake!

Dudes will queue to use unsafe mechanical equipment, while telling you “hold my beer”.

I’d say, try to identify WHY they are drifting towards her, and see if you (both) can change that underlying cause.

In my case no technical/IT solution (and I’m an IT person). We just talked. If we needed more help with something we asked each other. Sometimes you can preempt (e.g. putting in a wash load), sometimes you are just too tired for going with a walk with the baby and so you ask.

We were lucky that I need less sleep than her and we were already in a routine about shopping, admin, cooking etc. But she had more of a view of what kind of baby clothes we needed, because she was in touch with other moms (so they swapped clothes when they grew out of them). That and the health checks (and vaccinations) are the only thing that were pretty much only on her (health checks because the hospital had her contact details, plus health checks were for her too). She had much more parental leave than me (9 months vs 2 weeks!).

Basically if there was anything to do around the house (cleaning, shopping, cooking, admin) that I could do, I did. Stuff related to “baby admin” she did. That is not to say she did nothing around the house, just that when you are surviving in 2hours of sleep at a time it gets difficult!

Well, in case my username wasn’t clear enough lol

What about a shotgun loaded with rocksalt? Non letal but everyone would stop whatever they’re doing as they’ll be writhing in pain on the floor

Gather around kids, story time. It was 2002 and I had a desktop pc with two video cards, one Matrox with dual video output (they were pretty much the only consumer ones with that at the time) on AGP slot, and one “something” (probably ATI, it still had and RCA port) on PCI. So I installed gentoo (from stage1, as it was custom at the time) and fiddled around with xorg.conf to have two monitors output from the Matrox and a third (yes, I had 3 monitors) from the ATI.

That’s when I understood the power of Linux (no way win2000 was able to do that).

So if I get this right: live with others with society moral constraints, or live by (mostly) by yourself and do the fuck you want?

2 is tempting but I know after a while it’s going to be a problem (I like being by myself but it’s not healthy).

So I’d take 1 with holidays on 2. Unless I can also decide population on 2. I don’t need “loved ones”, I’d like someone to have a drink and do stuff IRL with sometimes.

Our incomes are very different. I take care of budgeting and paying 90% of stuff. Wife has a rough idea of budget, plus she budgets/pays some on her side (and I have a rough idea of that). Whatever’s left afterwards (usually in my account) is ours, not mine. The stuff for my hobbies is in the budget, not what’s left. What’s left (if any) is additional savings basically.

Heaviest goretex jacket I could find + goretex shoes

There was a mythbusters episode about this.

Tl, dr: you don’t survive.

There you go https://mander.xyz/c/meshtastic

And works really well!

Nothing. As a parent it’s my job to infodump about my kids to others.

But seriously, don’t ask questions about other kids, you don’t know what’s going on in their lives.

If something good happens we’ll tell you.

I know I’m going to be chewed for this, but my sister used to say “women’s worst enemies are other women”.

Don’t get me wrong, some men are shit too, but I don’t think so much as other women (in work settings at least).
