Trump is Batman.

 

[chiwigi]

Yeah nah.

I took two years out to be a stay at home dad and was promoted on my return (I left after 12 months as is law and when I was ready to come back I got my bosses job) and then promoted again within 18 months.

The best career move I ever made was taking time out to look after my eldest daughter.

Women hate that story because they know I the chances of it happening to them are about a million to one.



I'm a ****ing smart handsome cat with an awesome strut so I might not be a great case study.

I have had the entirely opposite experience, as a single dad I am expected to do all the work I ever did, whilst the single mums get all the sympathy and time off they need to pick up little Johnny etc.

I even stepped down from a role because of the kids and the lack of flexibility, only for them to replace me with a female given the flexibility due to 'family'.

 

[ScooterBrother]

Sounds like you're on board with gender equality and reducing the pay gap Chiwigi!

 

[bomberclifford]

Broke up with my girlfriend of 1 year for no other reason that I had lost all feelings for her, she took it pretty hard and told me she hated me. Went out with the boys for a few drinks and here I am feeling pretty damn sorry for myself

I've had arguments with my wife that have lasted longer than that.

You need to work on your strut bro.

did you admit you were wrong?

NEVER. THEY CAN SMELL WEAKNESS!

Best year of her life

 

[bomberclifford]

did you admit you were wrong?

Neither of us is ever wrong. Makes for some doozy arguments but it also seems to make it work.

We often joke that if we ever split it will be over one of three things: the stacking of the dishwasher, the chaos of the tupperware cupboard or the correct method of cooking rice.

 

[chiwigi]

You need to work on your strut bro.

So much strut that they can't believe I'd need any help!

 

[chiwigi]

There's no real pay gap, but I am a million percent behind equality in every.

You need to combine these three things - cook your rice using tupperware in the dishwasher:

I've accepted that I can never stack the dishwasher correctly, we agree on cooking rice but WTF is it with the Tupperware cupboard?

I'm comforted somewhat to learn that I am not the only one whose domestic harmony is negatively affected by this issue.

 

[bomberclifford]

WTF is it with the Tupperware cupboard?

Calling it the "Tupperware Cupboard" gives it more credence than it deserves. It's usually the cupboard furthest away from the functional centre of the kitchen and is most likely only ever opened for a fraction of a second while random plastic shit is thrown in before the door quickly closes so as not to create a cascade of mismatched containers and their ill-fitting lids.

Mrs Bomber is a hoarder. She keeps everything. Even when all practical use has been diminished from an item. I on the other hand am a purger. That lid is slightly too difficult to get a good seal? Ditch it. Tiny crack in the bottom of the container? Out with the rest of the garbage. I ain't got no time for no dysfunctional plasticware.

As you can see, it's a hotbed of intensity only rivalled by border disputes in the Gaza Strip.

I need to know is there a correct method to stacking a dishwasher?

Bowls/cups downward, fit as much stuff as you can and it's all gravy.

 

[bomberclifford]

Shitty Flutemas everyone.

but also, another strong message we get from the picture , as you can see , the shittyflute goes all the way from the thoughts into his reality, which represents the power of the flute, how it brings things for the realm of thoughts into the realm of reality, if i had to rename the flute, i would call it the tube of emotions.

You'd be surprised at the number of people who don't even get this much.

We actually have a large draw in the kitchen for primary Tupperware/microwave container storage and a secondary cupboard, which is a corner cupboard the bowels of which are very difficult to access, for secondary storage. In addition to less frequently used Tupperware containers the secondary storage contains a large collection of plastic takeaway containers because, as Mrs Bomber would be well aware, you can never have too many of these.

Tupperware is a real issue.

 

[Burningleviathan]

Most of my tupperware is lying on the floor of my pantry. We both look at it, step over it and pick what we need of the shelf whilst loudly proclaiming "we need to sort that on the weekend" for the upteenth time.
