  One of my friends is going through a divorce and one of the reasons his wife gave us is that he would sit in his car in the driveway and look at his phone for a bit when he got home. There are other reasons but that one stuck out to me.

    I answer work messages before I go in so that I can give my wife my attention when I walk in the door. I used to do it in the driveway but now I do it in the parking lot of the shop around the corner.

  That was all the salesmen at one place I worked. Mormons with tons of kids. They’d go anywhere in the world to get away from them.

    In the early nineties I knew a Mormon man with a happy housewife & 10 kids and he would run a marathon by himself every day just to be out of the house.

    To be fair, parenting is a pretty shitty gig. Expectations are high and support is low. People judge everything you do, especially those who have never done it themselves. Even with good kids its a thankless slog most of the time. God help you if you get a hard one.

      This is also why people should seriously think about if they are ready to have a kid or want to have a kid.

      Millions or tens/hundreds of millions of kids have parents that never really wanted them and just gave in to the biological clock and/or social pressures and the kids have a shitty childhood. It sucks to be unwanted, and kids can really feel it.

  you know, i’ve always been wondering about whether that is secretly a covert plan of the wife so the husband works longer hours, makes more money and makes the family richer. i’d seriously not put that past some people i’ve met in my life …
