Reblog this and I'll draw ya

I actually met an older woman who left her career to stay at home. I met her when I worked in a specialty food shop, where she'd come in to shop for little fun food snacks for her and her husband to enjoy together once he was off work. She admitted what her deal was to me fairly early on: she had a good career, then her husband got a huge promotion to a new city, so instead of trying to find a new job after they moved, they made the decision together that they could live on his income and enjoy more time together.

This by NO MEANS was Trad-Wifery, but this is what a true partnership and single income living meant for them (and honestly, it looked like the healthiest version of single income living to me) - they were lucky enough to survive and thrive on one income, and in this, they got more time together.

Every time I saw her and she talked about how she was doing, she was almost apologetic to me when she talked about the freedoms she now had, and she also respected the heck outta my work. She didn't think she would end up ever not working, but she and her husband were in a phenomenally rare position to get more time together so they were going to treasure it.

What I liked the most is she acknowledged that surviving on one income is so rare, but also didn't rub it in my face that she could go buy little treats while I had to work to sell those treats.

So uhhh... good news, for those who like some parts of stay-at-home... it is possible, and probably more possible with your partner when you're both older if one partner really finds a way to progress their career. It may be rare, but you know... maybe???

But no matter what, please be nice to people you interact with, especially if you come from a place of privilege against those who won't have those kinds of chances.

is that piece of media actually bad, or is it just not following the blueprint you projected onto it? is that work actually not good, or are you just demanding something from it that is absolutely antithetical to its themes, genre, tone, and narrative goal? is that story actually poorly written, or do you just dislike that it is not the specific things you wanted from it that it never set out to be, never was, and never is going to become? is it actually bad, or is it actually well-executed and you just dislike the story it chose to be because it isn't catering to your specific desires and expectations?

if we could stay connected, just like this

yeah simon is the one to scare people away when they get too close you, using his size and movement to intimidate, simultaneously shielding you behind him

yeah soap is the one barking loud, creating a spectacle and calling people out, and warning them away

yeah kyle is the one humiliating people, mocking offenders until either their own actions dawn on them or they finally recognize the venom in his eyes

but price is the one that launches into swinging. there is no warning, no hesitation. taking a step, even a single word against you, warrants immediate action in his mind. it's no laughing fucking matter. you are a top fucking prize, his prize, the best the world has to offer. john is rabid in his protection, bearing tooth and boot and claw and fist. there’s no point in talking to him or trying to negotiate, an offense is an offense and he won’t meet it halfway. someone looks at you the wrong way? they won't be able to see out of swollen eyes after headbutts them, crushing their nose. someone whispers something nasty about you? good luck even eating with that jaw wired shut. god forbid someone touches you, the other three boys can barely hold him back. john will break countless bones in every way he knows and beat his knuckles bloody if your smile starts to drop.
