    The badge of honor thing and the “calling in sick for household duties” - is perfect Amy! I’ve never heard it better explained than that

    It’s ok Matt you always get there eventually 😆 I agree with y’all on the stories. Get sick as a family 🤣 Good episode. Hope you feel better soon Matt! Hopefully Amy you don’t get it too bad, good luck guys have a good rest of your week!

    Matt, telling Amy to go to bed and "the house will wait" is not helpful. Tell her to go to bed (or go play video games) and let her know *you* will take care of the house! She doesn't want to go to bed and wake up later to an even bigger to do list.

      Exactly like he can lift a finger and not wait for her to feel better to continue doing the housework. You got hands too, bro. Pick up a broom.

      Lmao… yall are fantastic and thanks for all that, but has anyone here lived in an 800sqft house with two dogs and 2 kids? There’s no sleep being had my friends. That’s why I try and take the kids and go and do things with them away from the house and get away and let Amy relax… but per your advice maybe she doesn’t need all that. 🤷‍♂️

      That’s the worse for me. IF I get a chance to relax and dad has the toddler, it’s like a bomb went off. Even after a couple hours of nap / tv. So it almost makes it not worth it. Thankfully, he’s gotten better about jumping in and cleaning up after they play, but for a while it was the most frustrating inconsiderate behavior.

    I suffer from severe migraines, but my boyfriend is self employed and works long hours operating two different businesses. We have two dogs, chickens, and cats. My dog is a young German Shepherd, who NEEDS his walks. There have been so many days where I have come from working all day while suffering from a migraine (which makes me vomit repeatedly) and I have to come home and walk my dog and take care of the rest of our animals even though I would love nothing more than to sleep the rest of the night away. Not doing those things is not an option, so yes the husband is the asshole for not staying. He could have gone the house chores and walked the dog for her.

      What I always appreciate about Matt is how he is always willing to have the conversation, is open, respectful, and concedes if the facts check out. As a man being raised in our patriarchal society, I think a lot of people probably share those patriarchal beliefs we have all been taught and don’t have the opportunity or openness to challenge them. It’s all about having the conversation and being willing consider a schema that might be different from your own. We don’t always get it right sitting down at our kitchen table, but at least we try 🤷🏼‍♀️
      Ps, thanks for listening and being with us!! ❤

    I am struggling sooo so badly 😢
    I have been thinking of writing in but I'm scared of your response because deep down I know what I need to do... life is so hard sometimes..
    So hard it makes one wonder if it's all worth it.
    Dont worry I don't mean that in an I wanna hurt myself way I just mean it in the fact that I've been delt such a horrible hand in life it's hard to see the good in much of anything when the things you want are literally impossible to get.
    Love you guys and so glad your doing well.
