Here’s an email that I sent to domestic senior management regarding a conversation with a 5-year-old when Mindy the Crippler was three months old:
She spilled a bowl of soup on the table. I said “how come my life now is cleaning up after kid and puppy spills?” She said “sometimes you also cook.”
Now we know how they see our lives!
what with four kids and a Dalmatian puppy, I believe I heard each of my children respond with a similar suggestion countless times (e.g., also drive us to swim practice, also take us to the Folklife Festival, etc.). Fortunately, they’re mostly launched, and even the youngest (a teenager) could, if push come to shove, make a living as a programmer, and outsource all housework. I have seen an apt occupied by 4 UVA males for 10 mos in recent years, and they were just damn lucky that Charlottesville landlord finally decided to remodel the dump that summer (they lucked out twice that way and got their security deposits back).
Please tell us what is “domestic senior management”?
SK: Domestic senior management is a position to which none of my male (or should I say “who currently identify as male”) friends who share a home with a woman (or “an adult currently identifying as a woman”) can aspire.
