Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

You know when you read something and it really doesn't resonate right at the moment? But then -- I don't know -- an hour later . . . maybe a day . . . maybe even a week later, you think: "Ah, yes! Precisely!"

I wouldn't call our performance mediocre (well, maybe the house is often a wreck) but I am tired a lot. Still trying to convince my wife to go along with me being mr. mom.

I always piss my fiance off stating shit like "I could easily have a baby and return to work the next day" or "I could easily be Mr. Mom, just throw some laundry in the washer and take a nap until 12, get up, throw the laundry in the dryer, and nap until 4".

I don't think I could actually do any of the shit required to be a stay at home dad.

I could never do all the stuff my wife does. But she can't drink as much beer as I can so that makes us even.

Loh's basic argument is that with the rise of so-called companionate marriage -- in which both partners try to work, co-parent, and contribute equally to household chores -- everyone ends up exhausted, delivering an at best mediocre performance on all of the above.

kind of goes along with the slogan "Jack of all Trades......master of none".

If one goes ahead and "specializes" in their job then they could be more efficient. However, more women work forcing this situation.

It's a good thing for us that they can not drink as much as us (usually, don't want to hear the "I know this girl"). I like my cheap date.
