Ladies, we need to talk about this. I call a general strike. Beginning September 21, 2012.
No cooking. No cleaning. No work. No sex. We will not nurse our babies. Let the men deal with warming a bottle of breast-milk from the freezer.

Let them know the balance of work and family for once. Obviously, working, full-time dads, this does not apply to you. Continue reading

Stop listening to all that rock & roll music! That damn rap is just noise! Why do you text so much?!” and the like have been the requisite commentary that’s followed most every generation. I’m sure at some point God asked Jesus what the deal was with sandals. Yet, as we move further forward, and technology offers us something new about every few years, just how far apart are we really?
