to me thats like paying someone to clean my house. even if i could afford it i don't think i could have done that when my kids were little. i do have a yard guy though. i hate yard work HATE!! she doesn't clean... anyway, this is the decision you two made, that one would work outside the home and one would work inside the home, so why bitch about it???? And why expect the one working outside the home to work as hard inside the home as the stay-at-home???? can't have your cake and eat it too...

how is this so? i have yet to meet a man who can breast feed a child and if he can, thank god there is finaly a way to share the buren. i have been called home from trips, from the dr's office, because there was something up with the kids. thier needs always come before mine. when i was married my husband worked all the time and hwen he wasn't at work he was doing his own thing. he hung out with the kids on occasion, but that never once meant i stoped thinking abou the boys or worrying about them, i was and am always on call. Muffy, i gotta call bullshit on this one...I do a tot of the cooking/kitchen shit, watching the kids on the weekends, getting up at night with a sick kid/feeding kid/nightmare-having kid. Then throw in the sports work for different teams/practices etc. My wife on the other hand, runs the finances, works her ass off etc. etc. ...and your comment about "breast feeding" does not apply to all children... Sounds to me like you enabled your prior husband to "get away" from a lot of his home responsibilities...you were as much responsible for the way Jason behaved as he was...you could've easily insisted that he pull more of his domestic responsiblities than he did....fair is fair, and this ain't the 1950's i do not even want to hear from you on this topic. you have a nanny and you are right. i did enable. we have a nanny that leaves at 3...that leaves the afternoon for one of us with the kids...had you worked as well as Jason, you would have arranged for childcare (either a nanny or daycare)likewise...asking for props for something you chose reeks of selfimportance...

Unfortunately, I'm already married to the perfect woman, and I will always be married to her through the end of time. I really don't understand dad's who don't like to play with their kids. The best parts of my day are waking up early to make breakfast with my son (my wife gets breakfast in bed each morning), and then the hours of 6-10pm when I play with the kids and put them to bed while my wife gets a chance to relax. What it the world is more fun than playing with kids? you have to be kidding me. this has to be some kind of troll or something no its not...this is very similar to my home...

i disagree. there is a performance review and fireing is divorce.and the real consequence to fucking up as a mom is you rais a psycopath. that is a lot of resposablity. I am not really sure how running a company is more dificult than running a family. they require different skill sets for sure. i think that when a ceo fails people lose money. when a mom fails we lose a life. and yes i was a stay at home mom for 8 years going to work every day is so much easier. people tell me when i do a good job. they give me money, i can call in sick, and i can just take a day off because i feel like it. i am really good at leaving my office work at the office, i am a mommy all the time, even when the boys are with their dad. i never know when i am going to get the call tha someone fell off the monkey bars and broke something. and just think how hard it is to get those kids to pass their spelling tests!!!!

I am confused... I was under the impression that if any grades around here were accurate, they would be the ones at Index? Isn't it supposed to be similar to Yosemite? (I have not climbed there.) no no silly boy...exit climbing is the standard... bawahahaha

violently overhung??? WTF??!?! better not head to SLC or rifle or the new or virgin or well, anywhere other than slablandUSA aka. the pacific northwest... oh, and jens...climbing anareobicly on that stuff is the perfect training for smith when the moves are all at your limit, whatever that may be...so nice to arrive at a crux not pumped outside due to the lower level "approach" climbing... distinct cruxes in the gym are a waste of precious space...go boulder if you are looking for cruxes...its stupid to have 5.8 climbing to a single crux when you've only got 35 - 40 feet to work with...

from the rc post What is it about certain women that attracts them to climbing? Historically, climbing has been a male-dominated activity. If a man gets into nursing, don’t you normally assume he’s gay? That’s just a stereotype, but in my experience, it’s often a valid one. There’s something unique about a male who joins a profession that is 95 percent female. Likewise, I propose that most women who get into climbing have certain characteristics, other than just a love of climbing, that drive their pursuit of the activity. I have a few theories as to the reasons women climb. I haven’t conducted any formal research on the subject – I just have years of anecdotal observations. To simplify matters, I’ve broken my observations into certain categories. It is worth noting that I am a happily married male. This allows me to make objective observations without getting distracted by the sexual tension that often exists between single climbers of the opposite sex. Anyway, here are the categories. The Boyfriend Follower: These women don’t have much interest in climbing. However, they have great interest in their boyfriends who happen to be climbers. These women spend a lot of time belaying and not much time climbing. As long as they don’t grow resentful, this type can make an ideal girlfriend for a guy who’s looking for a belay slave. Their motivation is to spend as much time as possible with their boyfriends, no matter what he’s doing. The Histrionic (aka The Attention Seeker): These women are most predominant in the gym environment and crowded, accessible sport crags. They relish in the attention of males, but will appear aloof and unapproachable to the majority of men. They are often good climbers who tend to hang with the stronger male climbers. They can be identified by their clothing selection (or lack thereof). Bikini tops, spaghetti-straps, and tight shorts. Cleavage is abundant. Their motivation is that they thrive on the attention of males and the sense of control this gives them. The Serial Monogamist: These women don’t flaunt their sexuality as much as the histrionic, but they are generally still somewhat attractive. Climbing is a big dating game for them. They are often n00bs who get the attention of men by asking for help. They quickly latch on a helpful male, but for reasons yet unknown to me, the relationship tends to be short-lived. They are easily identified in the gym environment because they have a new male “partner” every couple of weeks. Their motivation is simply to have a relationship, after relationship, after relationship… The Hippie: These women are drawn to climbing because they see it as “counterculture.” Look for dreads, hemp shoes, nose rings, and beat-up old cars to identify this group. They will often spend more time slacklining and hitting the bong than actually climbing. Their motivation to climb is that it supports their counterculture identity. The Climber: These are women who climb simply because they have a passion for climbing. There are no ulterior motivations involved here. This is the minority of women climbers. I’d love to hear everyone’s feedback on this. Have others made similar observations? I’m sure I missed many categories and I wonder what others have noticed. If you’re female and you find yourself getting defensive and self-righteous in your reply, it is likely because I accurately identified you in one of the above categories. It’s natural to be defensive in that case. But please keep in mind that ranting at me will not serve the rc.com community that could benefit from a rational discussion of this topic. So let’s keep this discussion civil!
