🗣️🗣️🗣️ WE WANT PRENUP
I don't think this is stupid by any means (and good qualifiers), but it's interesting that this is always framed as "daycare costs most of her salary" and not "it costs [whatever] from our shared bucket of money" with no mention of the other sacrifices borne entirely by her: retirement savings, social security contributions, advancement, the downsides of a big resume gap
Even if everything else goes great (no divorce or financial abuse), those factors should be discussed thoroughly!

I hope this is a mirror moment for anyone who needs this.
Kathy Bates says she was sure she never thanked her mother in her Misery Oscar speech, then the interviewer showed her the tape
"She gave up her retirement because I was born so late in life to them."
"When I won the Oscar for Misery, she said, I don't know what all the excitement about, you didn't discover the cure for cancer."
"Why did I think I didn't thank her?"
"Because she should have had my life."
"I wanted her spirit to come into me and enjoy everything I was enjoying because of what she'd given up."
Her mom's whole review of the Oscar was that she didn't cure cancer, and Kathy still believed she had shorted her that night. Then she watches herself thank her mom at home, right there in the speech. Some people never stop trying to pay their parents back. You can hear it in how quiet she gets at the end.

I’m sitting next a Brewers fan that is 80-85 years old and looks like Willie Nelson. I’m trying to be as nice as possible but he keeps chapping my ass. I will continue to be nice bc I believe in karma. I’m also suspicious he’s young and dressed as an old guy bc he just showed me his Facebook. I feel like I’m in a scene from Jackass. Head is always on a swivel
