Yeah I bet it's really annoying for your wife to contribute to ~~her~~ your shared income with her hustling skills gtfo. This is either fake or they're both professional workers doing so well the man-child has to whine about how much money ~~she~~ they make.
I am an elementary school teacher. I took a personal day and I was hanging with my friend. She works virtually for an NGO. She replied to a few emails, updated some data in a spreadsheet, she called a few people. That was all she did. I made some snide remarks about it and she was like 'oh I'm sure your job is so much harder.'
The sheer audacity. I do all that shit she does, in 20 minutes before class starts, while I am slamming coffee and doughnuts. Then I do exhausting work all day.
If every worker wants other's to have it as bad as them we'd all be slaves, blame the employers and economic conditions rather than the worker who has it better than you. Really if your job is stressful and more work you should want better conditions for yourself, not worse conditions for someone else. She has knowledge that professional employers think is worth paying for, that's not something you should blame her for.
IMO I think for teachers and nurses, they should be way better compensated, and even treated as a special class.
While I agree, and I am a part of my teachers union, I also don't see any evidence that teachers will suddenly become respected and well paid. Like, Suddenly we all realized that we should feel grateful that we can read. Nope.
My NGO, WFH friend thinks she is working hard. The reality is, in our current system, the harder one works the less one is going to make. For her she has a stable position in the NGO.
Their goal is to help save fisheries and wild fish stock. In reality she doesn't even know what salmon looks like unless it's on a bagel.
You think these billionaires are just a billion times more hard working? They are just manipulative, insular, myopic, and selfish. Those are the key ingredients to success in our system. Surprise surprise, they are the opposite characteristics that a good teacher requires.
That's not her fault though so resenting people for who have these roles is indirectly resenting your own ability to achieve what they have. Billionaire employers are a different story because they're billionaires by virtue of those they employ. Overall the wealth gap between employers vs people like you and your friend who have to work everyday, regardless of what that entails, is wider than it's ever been. The problem isn't really that someone has a cushy job it's that those billionaires who do nothing are taxed lower than they've ever been and have your money, you're educating their future employees and they're not paying you/us a fair wage for that service they benefit from.
Ooh look at mister fancy-pants over here who can have coffee and donuts at work.
Before work. I don't have time to eat during work. Not to mention pee.
Fellow teacher here. Wow thats crazy and you totally got it right.
Meanwhile I doubt her clients argue with her about stuff.
Hey teacher! Actually I wanna ask you a question. I'm trying to find teacher spaces to replace reddit. Any luck with teaching stuff here?
I haven't seen anything yet. I still actually browse /r/teachers because of that same issue. Hopefully something gains traction, though!
Wow, being envious of his wife's job makes him a man-child and incapable of understanding how marital income works.
You read that much into a fucking greentext ๐๐
I'd do it again too
You go girl
I'm detecting angry vagina vibes.
Lol, lemme just vagina-splain how money works when you're married.
Great. Not I got an image in my head of a woman making her pussy talk the way Ace Ventura makes his asshole talk.
Ovaries talk to other ovaries when they're standing close enough
