Lord. Imagine being the breadwinner and the housewife.

What’s traditional about that? 😂

Clowns.

She is his nanny, secretary, and interior designer? How nice 🙄

My ex-husband thought he was gonna Mark Consuelo his way through our marriage. He really thought I once we were married I was going to pop out some babies, work all day and then come home to cook, clean, and take care of his needs while he didn’t lift a finger. Sounds simplistic but articles and other forms of media that express a true gender equality opinion like this helped me realize that I was carrying an antiquated “every-woman” view of marriage.

I hate that little “choice feminism” line in the article “if she takes on more of the work it should because she wants to not because he’s incapable...” yeah I’m sure that’s what women want, to do the majority of domestic and emotional labor 🙄

Wasn't she also his mental rehab? She's raising 4 kids, not 3

If you are wondering where it really hits home that Mark is very LVM, it's right when he says these two things:

"I don’t remember people’s birthdays — she remembers every single person’s birthday in our family and they are taken care of every single time without fail. She reminds me to make calls: ‘it’s your dad’s birthday you have to give him a call.’ She reminds me of all that stuff.”

and

"She makes the home a home. Every holiday, we would have nothing if it was up to me.”

This where we see major enabling from Kelly:

"But I think he wouldn’t know how to find a ballet class! He wouldn’t know how to go about signing the kids up for religion classes!”

Why? Does he not know how to use a computer? Does he not know of Google? If I don't know how to do something I Google it. As I have said millions of times. Strategic incompetence is STILL INCOMPETENCE. It's not cute. Imagine being 40 and "not being able to sign up your kid for ballet". I would die of embarrassment.

She probably makes 10X as much as he does, sooo...

I met him once at a bar in dt Vancouver while he was filming Riverdale... he was out with all the younger members of the cast; I remember how weird it was seeing him drinking with his on-screen daughter. I just got the vibe that he was not a good dude, nor a good husband
