Okay, the “Work Mom” thing is annoying. If she were a dude, you’d call her a boss or mentor. No one has a “Work Dad.” Don’t play her like that.

Possibly arises bc I loathe when agencies take powerful female CDs and introduce them as the “Team Mom.” My last ECD was a badass award winning inspiration, and everyone better address her as such 😂

I am a work dad, sort of. that’s our joke, it’s our sign of mutual respect.

My actual wife is the one who refers to my female AD partner as my work wife. It’s always seemed like a fun little bit of banter. Didn’t realize this was a negative thing 🤷🏻‍♂️

Both of your wives are cool! Hopefully you treat both of them well or you’ll be in double trouble hehe

I think it’s weird too. It makes the relationship inherently have a sexual undertone to it. I feel it’s inappropriate.

It only has a sexual undertone because you give it one.

Worried about my dad. He spends hours every day watching/reading news, but only sites that support his point of view. When he’s not consuming news, he’s railing loudly against politicians he doesn’t like or people who are on “the other side”, completely distorting basic facts. It almost seems like he’s slowly losing his grip of reality. This is all he does in his free time, he has no interest or motivation to pursue any hobbies or other activities.

Looking for some perspective: we just got a brand new $2,000 glass top 78" dining table. I asked my husband to please use a table cloth when he uses that table for d&d with his friends to avoid scratches and the loud dice on the table.

From my perspective, I just want to preserve this expensive piece of furniture that we both love. Am I being unreasonable?
