I hate that I also have fallen into trying to capture every moment rather than experience it. I think that’s one of the biggest differences between who I am now and who I was as a child. That and realizing time is a concept. Time is terrifying.
Government: our water stoped working, take this pill; person: Ok, but I dont have any water to take it; Government: There is a company that has so graciously ofered to sell everyone water.
People still separate whites and colors? For what reason? I throw whatever can fit in the washer and turn it on, and I’ve never had a problem. The combination of having a new baby and him having a very draining (assuming physically draining?) means that your house just isn’t going to be super clean/tidy in this season. Communicate with him about your expectations (he can’t guess them) and talk through it together. Also, let him do things his way or walk him through it once. Throwing a fit and whining isn’t a good way to show appreciation for him doing what you asked. 🤷🏻♀️
My kids ask for boxes haha. If I get a big one in my subscribe and save from amazon, or a carseat or something, they ask if they can have it and decorate it and pretend its a house, or a spaceship, or a boat... all sorts of things.
I can empathize with the woman who wrote the messyge. But I’ll echo what I saw others say and she needs to communicate more. But I also think that you guys were spot on with saying she probably is really missing the quality time of actually having her husband truly doing life together.
Jordan should write a book on that writing advice. I know you've talked about the specific perception way of writing before but it honestly is making me re-evaluate all of my writing thus far. Thank you for having your deep thoughts section and all the insights with it!
Your thirties breeze by for sure. I am 40 now and feel like, "Wait. . .didn't I just turn 33 last year?" It is funny about the housework thing. My husband works 50 hours a week but the only thing he has to do at home is the trash. I take care of the rest. Yesterday I was out for a few hours and he did a little bit of cleaning without me saying anything (like scrubbing our front door and some deep cleaning I've been wanting to do because we have a very clean home). It was very sweet. I am always in shock when he actually does dishes, because I really don't bother him to do anything since I am home and he works so hard. I've been married 20 years (come June) though, so yeah, I think the question that was brought up is very young marriage. These are things that should be discussed prior to marrying, honestly (just like discussing if you want kids or not type of thing). I definitely think it is good to show proof of ID to get on that one website. What is awful is that they have so many trafficked people in their videos. Cardboard boxes are amazing. I used to love sitting in them as a child too (and I barely had toys as a kid and was very creative and still am). My kids love cardboard boxes.
As far as filming things goes, usually I record cute things my kids do, because I didn't do it enough with my oldest, like just recording cute things before she grew out of it and now I forget the cute things she did, and it makes me sad, so now I try to record things before they grow out of them so I have them to look back on.
Wait I'm confused, how are flying in an airplane and riding a motorcycle a similar risk rate? Airplanes are safer than driving a car... I haven't looked at the motorcycle fatality rates recently but I'm pretty sure they're a lot higher than airplane crashes LOL...
My friend group had a phase growing up where we joked almost entirely in movie quotes. It was super fun until we would meet someone new, and then it felt rude pretty fast. 😅 It was like we knew a whole language other people didn’t understand. I don’t know why that came to mind when you were talking about self-referential humor!
Yes! Please bring Amy on! The playground looks awesome! I'm looking forward to the video. I always enjoy the conspiracy theories section, this one was really interesting! Great podcast!😀
Due to how popular they became in Hollywood and in culture at large, I think the Marvel Comics movies are a big contributing factor for why comedy has become so meta.
This is why God's Law needs to be the foundation. When that's the standard for morality, banning a pron site won't lead to banning the good media as well. When laws and cultures try to be neutral anything can be twisted because there's no standard for why certain laws are okay and others aren't. When sin becomes a crime, the government needs to be involved as per God's order for the world.
12:25 In Australia it's become increasingly common for businesses to be cashless i.e. 'card only'. Surcharges have become the norm for purchases made via the ever popular tap/paywave method, even if you're using your own money like visa debit. By law, surcharges aren't allowed to be more than what it costs the business. They usually range from 0.5% to 2%. Some (most?) hospitality businesses have also introduced weekend/sunday/public holiday surcharges of 10-25% on top of regular menu prices to cover increased wages on those days. Do they do this over in the USA?
Drive a motorcycle. I'm height- challenged. 😅 Men need to connect with family when they get home, even if tired. Women need to say out loud what they want instead of think he should know better. He doesn't. He's learning, you're learning. Have compassion and ask for help like he never knew you were struggling. He will surpriseyou. ❤
I thought Jordan's in-the-moment theory and cardboard box recommendation were great. Also, definitely going to re-listen to the If Then podcast at some point. Good stuff.
I’d much rather learn to fly a plane! My grandpa has a smallish Cessna (which I’ve never been in sadly), and it would be incredibly useful and time-saving to be able to fly around the state vs. driving everywhere. I hate driving… sorry Josh. 😂 I’ve recently considered taking pilot lessons, but I’ll save that for a time when I have a little more money lying around 😅
The thing about Jesus, I heard something the other day that just spoke to me. Jesus was literally sinless and perfect and people still hated him. So stop caring what other people think of you.
I know it technically was a few years ago, and no one reading about this has heard about it, but Lego City Adventures. There's a new comedy! They say things that are happening, but there's different kinds of jokes in it too. It looks and sounds like a kids show, but it's really for everyone. The first two seasons are the funniest, with some seriously good writing.
Absolutely agreed. When the government tries to ban these things outright, the trade only becomes unregulated and underground. Workers become secretive andlose all rights and legal protections. They have no one to turn to if they are abused or taken advantage of.
True but it may at least make it more difficult for kids to get hooked… I know way too many people who excuse themselves on this issue because they “got started young” which I don’t agree with that being an excuse but it is a difficulty. So if it’s harder to access and you have to go out of your way for it, maybe less will fall into it accidentally.
Alcohol has always been an acceptable part of society and did not have serious elite backing which why Prohibition failed. We ban lots things successfully, we can ban porn and vastly reduce exposure, especially to kids
As far as the messyge goes: What a silly and foolish woman! Her poor husband works long and draining hours every week to suppot his wife and child and when he comes home, he finds a mess of a house and a nagging wife. When she agreed to stay home and not work, she agreed to keep house instead. She doesn't get to just flounce around all day! If she had been asking him to spend time with the baby, I would understand. He helped create that kid and has equal share in caring for and nurturing the child. If the baby is clingy, buy a baby wrap and strap the kid to you. Have the baby play in the same room as you work. Do chores while the baby sleeps if you must. Don't throw up your hands and say, "Oh well! I guess my husband has to do MY job as well as his own now." She needs to reevaluate and problem solve before her husband becomes resentful of her.
First of all, I do not nag. The whole point of this message was to see if it would be unfair to ask him to do a chore or two every week. Second of all, my baby does not like the wrap, I've tried. I do not sit around and flounce all day, I take care of my needy baby, and I work at a daycare for a couple hours everyday. I give my husband time to cool off and recharge from work, I just wanted to know if him doing the dishes once a week or vacuum once a week would be unfair for how hard he works. I still clean and he comes home to a warm dinner, I just would like the house to be a little cleaner. How silly and foolish of you to be so judgemental without knowing the whole situation. If I swore you would be at the receiver's end of it right now.
@@olive_u_butte I can only judge based on the information I'm given. You put your family situation out on the Internet for all to see. I do not hold myself responsible for magically divining oceans of subtext and unspoken detail.
@@olive_u_butteAlso, you claimed to be a stay at home parent. Since you work part time, you are not. You are a mother with a part time job. I personally think stay at home spouses are obligated to do the chores since they do not work. You do work. That is different.
@@audreybourgeois4626 Yeah, but my job is a lot less draining than his, and it's only two hours a day four days a week. I'm sorry that was misleading. I shouldn't have been so harsh (even though you were harsh in your criticism), but I was just genuinely looking for advice and seeing if it would even be fair of me to ask my husband for help. I was trying to make the message short, as well. So I'm sorry, but it's also very defeating being called silly and foolish when I'm overwhelmed with a baby who will rarely play on his own or be put down, and with housework that I'm constantly doing when he's napping or is finally playing by himself.
