He's using humor to be passive aggressive.

What else does he joke about?

She's not the only mother who has less leisure time than the father.

In America, fathers, on average, have about three hours more leisure time per week than mothers. This “leisure gap” has been consistent at least over the past decade. What are dads doing with their extra time? For the most part, they’re watching TV, according to new Pew Research Center analysis of data from the government-sponsored American Time Use Survey (ATUS).

........

The fact that mothers feel more stressed and tired than fathers even during their leisure may have to do with the way they experience their time. Mothers’ free time is often interrupted, which may make it hard for them to relax, according to a study by sociologist Suzanne Bianchi and others. Moreover, a study by Shira Offer and Barbara Schneider found that mothers tend to spend more time than fathers in multitasking, and the additional hours spent on multitasking are mainly related to time spent on housework and child care.

Modern john watson would repeatedly ask questions on r/AITA regarding his behaviour towards holmes

[achamocha]

forever baffled at people who willingly consume media that portrays problematic content in a positive light as an integral part of their plot and then get mad when people in the fandom include said problematic content in their fanworks. 'why is everyone shipping incest' YOU ARE A FAN OF THE INCEST GAME

Because I realize I never really give Luka any love:

I know I've said it before, Luka doesn't actually tell the future. Really he just sees magic like a bundle of thread and connects it to the tethers he sends to his contacts in Hell where they can get a read on the person's soul and relay what they see back to him. It's a massive game of telephone where the people you're talking to are demons who can see every reality a person can have making it even more messy and becomes more of an educated guess. This, of course, is only possible if he can actually get a good tether to someone. Extremely powerful magic users, some true animal spirits, demon princes, high ranking angels, threat 3 vampires etc. etc. are all way above his skill level as a magic user and if he can't get a good connection they're lucky if they even get a guess on what will happen in a given day.

This luckily is far out of what his usual clientele is. Usually it's Aita's clients or friends of his clients humans, demons, and nature based beings like other animal spirits or even sometimes the occasional nymph. The only time he's ever not been able to get a read on someone was his first meeting with Belphegor, the slothful prince, whose children he'd been reaching out to for his fortunes. It was all one big mass of thread, a huge knot that chaotically moved and pulled from his fingers making him unable to fully tether anything unless he let the Prince into his soul which he didn't do until several years later.

His relationship with Belphegor is a positive one, he worships him like anyone would do any God and in turn Belphegor helps his practice. He gets him more reliable seers to help his fortunes, he keeps his head above water and mentors him in his dreams every few months to help his ability. In return the only thing Luka really has to do is clean up portals the other Princes don't want open to hell and occasionally send messages from them to the followers. The stronger his connection grows to Belphegor the more his body is changing, he's only half demon, but it's hard to contain the energy of a prince. The fur on his hooves is starting to fall out and butterfly wings have sprouted above his tail with the same markings as the slothful prince.

Luka is very committed to Belphegor and honestly.... there's not much of an issue with it. Belphegor's title is more of an insult from humanity and his kin, he's called the slothful prince, because while he was the prince of change and knowledge, he has no interest in Hell's constant feuding nor Abaddon's plans of storming Heaven that Lucifer is so interested in. He'd rather pull his own strings behind the scenes and make himself seem like less of a threat while accumulating power in his own time. He aligns himself with Leviathan's, the envious prince, ideals that Mephistopheles, the prideful prince, needs to be reigned in and Lucifer is too preoccupied with his own plans to do it.

Luka has no role in that, he's just one of his millions of children even if not by blood.

when I'm watching the neighbors cat, they specifically asked me and I don't feel comfortable bringing another person into their space while they're gone, my sister literally begs me to let her play with the cat, I've said no multiple times, then she literally breaks in to the apartment while I'm there, after I've told her no at least 6 times before hand, and the cat cowers in fear and nearly runs into the bedroom because he's not familiar with my sister and doesn't like strangers (he's only comfortable with me because it took a week of visits with his owner for him to let me pet him and I've watched him whenever my neighbors are out of town ever since) and then my sister doesn't understand/starts crying when I tell her to get out of the apartment and let me do my job

submitting an aita to phil’s tumblr post for it has me rethinking my entire love life and how i may just be a stereotype of the typical “useless lesbian” as me and this girl i thought was just being really friendly have:

-gotten ‘platonically married’ in which we exchanged rings and vows and now wear those

-plan to move in together

-have a cat together (he’s my baby but he loves her more)

-planned to spend the next 80 days on a bus trip around the US together

-are referred to as ‘mom’ and ‘mom’ in the friend group

-have multiple matching outfits and keys to each others current places

-pretended to be a couple to get free tshirts

-acted like a couple the rest of the night “just in case” anyone got suspicious

anyone have any advice? talking to her is out of the question i will simply pretend like everything is normal and FINE until i die or explode in a bridgerton-esque confession whichever comes first

Maybe its just that I don't actually read tarot

But how the fuck are people getting such specific and direct answers from reading tarot lol

"They said he was using lucifer to force me to be friends with him" bestie how the fuck did you get that. Where are you getting that information from? I DO know what the individual cards mean and none of them say anything like THAT. What the fuck were you asking????? How are you inferring these things???? It feels like you're extrapolating quite a bit here.

Having lost my cat, my uncle, my great grandmother, my grandma's best friend (& one of the people who helped raise me), AND my dad all within the span of 9 months,

I have little sympathy for people who use deaths as an excuse to be an asshole. I get it, it sucks. Get the fuck over it. Your grief is not an excuse to treat others like shit. What the fuck.

Mutuals if I asked you to finish a chore I had already mostly completed which would take maybe 10 minutes at most would you

A: finish the chore before doing any other non-urgent activities

OR

B: leave the house for what's likely to be an hour minimum while insisting that you'll definitely 100% do it the moment you get back u prommy (DO NOT TAKE PREVIOUS INCIDENTS INTO CONSIDERATION WHILE JUDGING THE VALIDITY OF THIS CLAIM)

Ladies don't let anyone try to guilt trip you into giving up a space where you can have time to talk about you, not your husband not your kids, you and your career, interests and hobbies
