Cooking two nights a week is not a big deal. First of all she’s old enough to help out around the house a bit, and she is at the age were she needs to start learning about responsibility. Cooking can be an easy and quick chore. Would you be complaining if she was asked to vacuum the carpet twice a week? Plus, cooking is a valuable life skill she will be thankful to have when she moves out on her own! When I was that age I helped out with dinner when my parents worked late and it was not a hardship, nor did it interfere with my social life. And my parents were grateful for the help. This would only be a problem if she was cooking ever meal everyday! Val is just asking for a little help once in a while!!
The last man she loved died. It can be scarey to put yourself out there after something like that. She knows that love can bring pain. If Phil is a good man and trully loves her, he will be patient with her.
Anyone who knows anything about Ben Franklin knows he was a heavy drinker with multiple misstresses. He particularly liked married women! And He is not sayng old women are grateful beacuse they are ugly and should feel lucky to have any man, he is saying that at that time, an older woman was thought by most to no longer requier sex beacuse she could not bear children. She would be greatful to a man who satisfied her still present needs.
It shouldn’t be the responsibility of a child to take care of his/her younger sibling. If the parents cant take care of their own children then they shouldn’t have had so many. Children should not have to act as primary care givers. Occasionally helping to change a diaper/feed a bottle or babysit every once in a while is all that should be excpected. You concieved it you raise it.
Uh, yeah. most religions have a disbelief in taking illegal drugs. Nothing special about mormons there. And just beacuse someone is Mormon doesn’t mean they don’t slip. They are still human and prone to the same mistakes and addictions. You can’t speak for some one you don’t know just because they are the same religion as you. I’m Southern Baptist too, but I don’t know what SaraCVT does in her free time! [nothing bad though I’m sure. =) ]
Pardon me AOD, but it is not a woman’s “place’ to be the only one taking care of the children. We don’t live in the 50’s anymore. This strip shows a man being a REAL father and caring for not only his children but his wife and allowing her to have a little break. Parenthood is a partnership, not one persons job. All men should be so loving towards their families.
