Does Charles read your blog? Yes. He's often the first to read it and if it's at all controversial I get his opinion before I post. Past experience has shown that the TC yardstick for acceptable topics of conversation is measuring in a completely different dimension to the rest of society's yardstick.
What does Charles think of the things you say about him? Largely I think he feels he's getting off lightly. I try to be as balanced as I can. But in all honesty we're both painfully aware of our human frailties and we giggle over them more often than we bicker. Occasionally he'll ask me to change something if he thinks it's unfair or not an accurate representation and I usually do. The thing is that real love isn't pretending your partner has no failings - it's knowing those failings and loving them anyways.
Who is Pippa? I think anyone that has met her will recognise her from my writing! I have debated whether to just use her first name but I think letting her have a pseudonym lets me get away with revealing more of her. She can't object because I didn't use her real name. Perfect, really.
UPDATE: Mystery of the Domestic Sphere SOLVED. Charles claims the reason I am mistress of domesticity is not because of the role society has created for him but because he spends all day leading at work and comes home with no motivation. Although he does agree with me that advertising is insidious when it comes to reinforcement of traditional gender roles.
Rebuttal: Pippa claims she doesn't scare people. Vote now people. Do you know Pippa? Does she scare you?
UPDATE: Stroller Dramas; Front wheel still locked, will purchase WD40 at soonest opportunity.
UPDATE: Tastes like Chicken! Charlotte is not a vegetarian yet - apparently nuggets are "tasty chicken" which is worth the sacrifice. Chicken skewers have now been dropped from the list of items acceptable for pinky-sustainment.
Are you asking the world at large if I'm as scary as you make out? C'mon that's crap. I really don't scare people. Unless they deserve it. That's different.
ReplyDeleteCharles is not alone in domestic realm. Rowan is more than happy to be domestic in terms of cleaning WHEN ASKED. He claims he just doesn't see it, housework does not register as a priority or something that needs to be done with alarming regularity. My brothers are the same but then again, so is my sister. Hmmm. Conundrum much?
I want to know what happened to the monthly challenges? Will I be getting dragged to Zumba any time soon?
Monthly challenges never really went ahead because no one challenged me and sure, let's do Spanish Zumba.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I am asking people if you scare them and so far I have received quite a few "can I do this anonymously" emails. It's not looking like it'll be in your favour Pip.
Really?! OMG. Make into one huge post with no details of the who and I shall endeavor to address these concerns.
