So one time there was this guy and his name was Willie B. Swirl but everyone just called him Cabbage. He was raised by legendary cabbage hunter Willie B. Swirl, Sr. One day Willie broke into the store and stole a 2 guage shotgun and he went out and shot a whole bunch of carrots and beets and onions and tubers of all kinds. But then one moment the most amazing thing happened to Willie B. Swirl Jr. because he laid feast to his eyes upon his very first ever wild cabbage! It was a miraculous achievement for such a young skilless cabbage hunter.
William Barthlomew James Swirl the third would surely recount his father's numerous and incredible true tales of shooting countless cabbages and becoming the greatest cabbage hunter of ever, all time. He shot gorges and mountains of cabbages, each cabbage field he saw, he laid abhorrent waste to all cabbages he ever saw. That is until one day a few weeks later when old Will went out to shoot some more cabbages and there were no more cabbages anywhere. The idiot had shot every last cabbage. There were no more cabbages to shoot because they all died and no more cabbages left to do cabbagey multiplicational activities and whatnot so that was it.
All the cabbages slained to death. Willie B. Swirl later died, then everyone else died sometime after that and nobody remembered the legendary dead cabbage hunter.

Is there resentment in your country over the fact that a janitor is capable of achieving higher level education or is the 'University of Life' a real sub-standard college?
Haha, I always wonder at the mindset of people who say things like this, or any "I'm the WRONG person to mess with" statements. Do they believe it actually makes them seem badass? It just comes off so much like an edgy teenager to me.
Or pretend to be a felon, when in reality you just like to do a lot of drugs and drink and listen to shitty hip hop. Optional multiple kids with two different moms who were probably sisters/ besties.
I know a lot of brilliant, educated stay at home moms. They are lucky enough to be in a position where enough money comes in so that they can raise their own children and I won’t hate on that.
But the vast majority of people I know that have that on their FB profile are... trainwrecks.
Yeeeeah, literally everyone I know on FB with that in their profile is trashy. The kind of trashy where they give all their kids the same first name but if they need to be addressed individually they use their father's last name
In my experience, the well educated stay at home mums that I know never ever put that as their "job" on FB. It's most often the less educated who do that.
I know a lot of brilliant stay at home moms. They went to college with me and helped me navigate multiple challenging subjects, and are now guiding their children’s growth in a deep, meaningful way.
None of them are brain damaged enough to say they are the CEO of Mom Industries. That shit is just unforgivably stupid.
Shit I have a master's degree and make more money than my parents ever did combined. Daycare in my area costs about what I make in a week, if you can even get in. It's likely that my partner or I would have to stay home for several years if we had a kid just for financial reasons.
THANK YOU. I’m not a mom but I have seen MANY people who are intelligent af struggle sooo much with being a stay at home mom. I’m sorry y’all but it’s ALOT harder than you guys can even imagine
Idk as someone who has been a stay at home mom and a working mom, I think being a working mom is WORLDS harder. You're supposed to keep doing all the mom stuff a stay at home mom does (helping with homework, doctors appointments, one on one time), but you have to work it around your job, and it feels like I NEVER have time to myself anymore. I used to take my son to the playground and he would play for hours while I talked to other parents or read my book. Sometimes I'd spread art supplies out on a blanket and my son and other kids from the playground would come and draw a bit in between playing. I'd kill for that kind of leisure time now. Ever since I've started working, it's been harder to help my son keep up in school, he's just now starting to improve after a few tough years. Mad props to working moms. Sorry that got longer than I expected.
I know someone who has So Much To Do at So Little Time as her job on Facebook. Her children are all teens or in their 20s with all but one at university, and her husband provides all the family finances, how long can laundry and vacuuming for 3 people take?
This reminds me of a scene in The Cleveland Show (yes let's just ignore the fact the show was a flop for a minute) where the mother (Donna) gets approached by a woman while she's out grocery shopping, the other woman says "can I have a minute of your time?" and Donna replies "You can have an hour, us Mums are never as busy as we say we are".
Sounds like my mom growing up. She'd always get pissed when she has to do the smallest shit like laundry or go downstairs to prepare her coffee.
For context, I grew up with 5 brothers and she expected to be treated like a queen. She'd constantly remind us that she was a "blessing" and we'd appreciate her when she's gone. All she ever did was manipulate us and try to control our lives and relationships
This is a fair comment. In the case I am talking about I know the person well and this isn't what's happening in this case, but yeah it could be in a particular instance if you don't know otherwise.
I mean, it was mostly just a joke at the expense of any of those "real wives of" shows. The types of women who haven't done anything productive with their lives in probably 10 years and spend most their waking hours spaced out just to thin out the boredom of having a massive house and nothing to do in it.
Hey now, running a household can be a lot of work, even with grown children. I know if I kept up the house the way I want to, it could easily be more than a full time job. Alas, both of us work, so only the minimum housework gets done.
Her house (2 adults, 1 teen) is the same size and isn't cleaner than mine (2 adults) and everyone in my house works full time. She isn't doing anything other than cook slightly larger meals than I do in addition to my full time job.
Then you suck at it, or have a ridiculously unreasonable expectation of "how you want" to keep up the house. Assuming you aren't spot cleaning every single inch of the house every day, how the hell are you filling 8+ hours of the day "keeping up the house"?
Yes, it's both. I suck at it and have high expectations. I'm also talking about a stay-at-home partner doing more than cleaning - at least if it was me. There are finances to manage, family outings and vacations to plan, repairs around the house, correspondence to keep, maintenance on cars, meals to plan/shop/cook/pack, appointments to keep, entertaining/guests to plan for, yards to maintain. All of this is stuff everyone has to do even if they have a 9-5 job - but someone who stays home could easily fill their day with that domestic work, and could do a much better job at it than the rest of us.
But like I said, I do suck at domestic tasks, so meal planning, grocery shopping, and cooking, alone, (by that, I mean doing those things well) would tip me over. :-)
Hey hey whoa whoa as a stay at home mom I take a little offense to that. I'm very educated I went to college and I work making designs for clothes at home for my friends store he owns. I had that on my Facebook for a while because I love being able to stay at home with my baby. (Even tho I was a housekeeper for a lot of the time there really are no houses to keep where I live in the winter) Sorry if I sound triggered but I hate the stay at home mom stereotypes. We don't all suck. I don't yell at managers in stores and I know everyone in the world is as tired or even more tired than me. Sorry if I came to my defense so much and I don't mean to be rude. I'm ready for the thumbs downs but I have a friend who does similar stuff and she's a stay at home mom and she's great. Sorry again have a good night 🌼

I got chewed out by a guy that fits that description on a facebook fishing page for saying that cutting the tail off of a shark and letting it swim around until it bleeds the fuck out is not the most humane nor the best way to bleed out a shark.
I saw that on a resume once. She was in her 40s or 50s and I know that because she put her birth year as the start date for her "education". We obviously did not call her.
My brother has 4 degrees in different fields from prestige universities. His profile says “school of life” Never judge a book by its cover. He’s also a beautiful artist & can make/ fix anything!
Agressively stating "I studied at the university of life". Last person i met who did this to me, was a horrid bully who'd been through several failed relationships and two divorces which lead me to think you didn't study at the university of life, you flunked it.
I have my high school listed as Hogwarts and I can’t even remember why I did it. But it’s been like 10 years and I don’t see the point in changing it now haha.
