No more or less sexist than other movies from that era.
Dom wrote: A lot of people say that; what do you dislike about country music?
It all sounds sorta the same to me. Also I just don't really like the style in general. There ARE a few country songs or bands I enjoy selectively (The Civil Wars is sorta folk/country and I like Lady Antebellum for the most part). But overall I'm just not into the genre.
Dom wrote:Oh? Which city, and why?
Coincidentally, since that last post this has actually come to pass, lol. The city of my choice would be Seattle (which I am actually moving to like ... now). And because it's liberal and diverse and cultured and it's by the sea and the mountains and my family lives there and I love it.
Dom wrote:How short? Did you like it? How long is it now?
A pixie cut. The shortest I had it was like ... an inch. It's at my shoulder blades now.
Dom wrote:Do you feel too old for this board?
Sometimes, yes.
Dom wrote:What's the last amazing thing you experienced?
Today/tonight I experienced saying goodbye to a lot of co-workers/friends who I love and admire.
Dom wrote:Do you think you are a motherly person, in general?
What do you mean by motherly? I am not the kind of person who wants to raise a brood of younglings and stay home baking bread and kissing bruised knees and that sort of thing, if that's what you mean. However, I am kind and enjoy taking care of and protecting the people I love.
Dom wrote:Do you think the internet is a dangerous place for kids, even when "supervised"?
As with anything, there are risks. But overall, no. I don't think it is particularly dangerous, especially if you equip kids with the tools and knowledge they need to stay safe.
Dom wrote: If you and your husband parted ways, would you get a divorce?
Probably. I would not feel the need to stay married to him if we were no longer in a romantic relationship.
Dom wrote: Do you two have separate bank accounts?
Not right now. But when my husband graduates and we are both working, we are going to separate our finances and work on more of a partnership situation rather than a "pooled resources" situation. We will have separate accounts and each pay an equal percentage of our household expenses and then the rest will be our individual money to spend/save/use how we wish.
Dom wrote: I believe you said you are the breadwinner...how would you feel if he went out and say, bought a small boat, or a car, or even a big screen TV, without consulting you, using "your" money?
With the way our finances are now, I don't consider it "my" money. It's our money. But I would not be happy. I would ask him to return whatever item it was that he bought unless he had some REALLY URGENT AND VALID reason that he needed to buy said item RIGHT NOW without consulting me. Also, my husband wouldn't do this, so this is definitely a very hypothetical situation.
Dom wrote: Does he feel guilty for staying home?
Nope. Nothing to feel guilty about. He provides full-time childcare for our kiddo and does full-time school, both of which are work in and of themselves.
Dom wrote: Did you know this would be the arrangement before you married?
We didn't. I actually stayed home with our daughter for the first year, and then when I went back to school full time it made more sense for him to stay home with her.
Dom wrote: Do a lot of people judge you/him for it?
Not
a lot of people, but we have received some less-than-flattering comments from people.
Dom wrote: Do you feel you get enough time with your daughter?
Not currently. But that's part of the reason I'm changing jobs and we are moving. My current work schedule doesn't leave a whole lot of room for family time.
Dom wrote:AM I GETTING TOO PERSONAL?
Nah. I'm an open book.
Dom wrote:Do you like to color?
Yes.
Dom wrote:What is your favorite juice?
Orange.
Dom wrote:When you go to the bank, do you get a sucker?
Yes.
Dom wrote:What do you wear on the weekends, is it different from work days?
I actually work on like ... 60 percent of my weekends.
But honestly whenever I'm home, I'm in my PJs or sweatpants.
Dom wrote:Do you feel on top of your life?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
Dom wrote:What was in your wedding bouquet?
I don't even remember. It was some generic bouquet from Costco I think, lol.
