She was 58, not exactly young

OK I laughed. Curious about your thoughts on women being homemakers as opposed to working outside of the home?

Ed loves him some fear porn. After 6+ years he’ll be right eventually unfortunately

I’ll ask. He made several comments about Covid lockdowns. That one, and early on he talked about how the students lived through the “Covid fiasco,” and I assume it was Fauci he was referencing as the “Catholic that was behind the lockdowns.” I agree much of the lockdowns were stupid, but it seemed like he was really focused on them and I didn’t like how he didn’t acknowledge the harm that Covid the virus did. I dunno, maybe it was those comments that made me not give him any benefit of the doubt for the rest of his comments.

No way to Taco Bell. Long John Silver probably a good answer though

No. Was raised Jewish but was never very religious. My wife is Catholic however, but while more religious than me is not terribly religious either. We did check out 2 different Catholic churches in our area but were not a fan. Currently free agents, have also checked out the Methodist church, some of those non-denominational ones with the band, and our kids attend a program at the Baptist church but we haven’t actually been to a service. I think I might prefer Methodist the best at least of our specific local options.

I don’t necessarily disagree with you here. Since you bring up his comments about Catholicism, what do you make of his comments about the Traditional Latin Mass? It’s a “necessity for our lives,” don’t ya know. I honestly think that section is a bit of microcosm of the rest of his speech. He says “I do not attend the TLM because I think I am better than others,” but then proceeds to list all the reasons why everyone should attend it… Me being me, I was also not a fan of some of his Covid comments, which to me reek of having no concern for those that died of covid, all he cared about was lockdowns. For example he listed out several different types of “fear” that bishops who closed churches had, but didn’t include “fear” of the virus which caused the largest increase in deaths since 1918, especially considering churches were not really a great place to avoid covid (large crowds, indoors, singing, plus probably a higher than average median age).

I apologize jerry. Overall my comments in this thread were meant to be more in response to Butker. I shouldn’t have assumed you agree completely with him, good to hear that you don’t.

Do you think the posters here speaking out against Butker are “sh1tting all over moms”?

He didn’t, he said it makes them a bad parent. If it’s the cleaning you are hung up on, then you disagree with Butker (not that there’s anything wrong with that of course). He said homemaker is “one of the most important titles of all.” If you are not cooking and cleaning, you are not a homemaker (hence the jokes of him telling women to get in the kitchen, obviously he didn’t say those exact words). But it’s certainly understandable if your opinion is different and you’re just concerned about the parenting of the children and not so much about the rest of a homemaker’s typical duties. Not necessarily. Unless you want to get semantic with the word “want.” What if both parents are highly specialized doctors where losing one would be a significant impact to the field? What if the parents are illiterate and would rather their kids go somewhere where they feel they would get a better learning experience than at home? Like with any relationship, being with your kid 24/7 isn’t always the best for both the kids or parents. Having some time apart and for them to get other experiences can certainly help their development. I’d bet that most kids that go to preschool/daycare tend to be more ready for kindergarten than ones who stayed at home for example.

GC righties: How dare you paraphrase what Butker said! Also GC righties, despite no one doing it: You’re sh1tting all over moms!

Don’t ask me, ask @Maximum Overkill

No, but cooking and cleaning are two very important ones

Yes

The job of a homemaker is to take care of a family and the place where the family lives. The usual things that a homemaker does are: Planning meals Buying food Preparing and cooking food Serving food Washing-up after meals Cleaning the house Organizing the home Decorating the home Doing seasonal cleaning like washing all the curtains Decorating (arranging the furniture and ornaments, and choosing the colors of things) Washing clothes Ironing clothes Mending clothes (and sometimes making them) Shopping for new clothes and other family needs Getting children ready for school Bathing and dressing children Feeding babies Playing with children Comforting babies, children and partners Doing first aid Caring for sick people Caring for pets Entertaining guests Planning for guests and holidays/celebrations Remembering everybody's birthday. Driving the kids to school, sport etc. Helping with homework Supervising music practice Reading storybooks Putting children to bed Cleaning out the garage Maintaining and watering household plants Preparing a budget Researching ways to use the household's income most efficiently Bill pay https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homemaker

Found one of the guys that hires a cleaning service

Probably should add anyone that hires a cleaning service. I’m sure that will incorporate some GC’ers

That’s part of being a homemaker

So all the rich folk where one of the parents doesn’t work but they still have a nanny, au pair, personal chef, and/or maid are all bad parents also?

Righties think making $2+ billion a year in profit is comparable to saying “well they’re not bankrupt!”

Does @Maximum Overkill saying you’re bad parents if one of them doesn’t want to stay home with the kids count?

@edjr thought $99 for 4 days each was an unusual deal, lolololol

So all married couples should want to have one of them be a stay at home parent in order to be considered good parents?
