Stay-at-home-moms/ Arbonne Consultants bitching about poors and the unemployed is one of the best parts of Facebook. If it wasn't for the fact that a lot of army guys would get mad at me I would tell every one of them on Facebook that being a wife to a soldier and mother isn't a job, that's why you don't get paid for it, ala The Simpsons, because the fireworks would be amazing

Well, if you're handling the family finances, maintaining the home, (cleaning, lawn, minor repairs) purchasing and preparing food, handling family scheduling and providing child care, I'd call that a job. They are getting paid for it though, or in theory they are, because that division of labor is supposed to free the other spouse to put in the hours and effort to make a salary large enough that will support the entire family. It often doesn't work out that way, but that's the fault of the couple, not the position of stay-at-home spouse. IMO we should give govt. assistance to full-time parents so they can raise less lovely children with less strain on the other parent.

Also the Army/Marines/Whatever do pay them in a roundabout way because military personnel who are married straight up get bonus cash. Same for having children (and it stacks).

"Paper Marriages" in which two soldiers or a soldier and civilian get married purely for the pay bonus while rarely interacting with each other are a real thing.

I know two people that have barely spoken to one another in years and are only not divorced for this very reason.

Dude who posted this works as Chief Operations Officer at the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. You know, who often works with disadvantaged youth.

Also, he is black.

Yeah don't get me wrong, my mom stayed at home. I was thinking of the few people on my own Facebook who post this kind of stuff, who are not those kinds of people.

This supports my hypothesis that wine obsession is just one of the popular facebook meme for moms and aunties that's mostly funny if you're "in" with the crowd, like goatse or 9/11 for us (if you post goatse or 9/11 on facebook the moms+aunties will probably not think it is funny)

"I know I can at least get one amen!"

I think the message here is that religious fervor is the primary motivator for military recruitment. Uncle Sam, a figure created as propaganda to encourage military service, is shown supplicating to the Christ figure that dominates medieval and Renaissance religious artwork. This implies that the military serves the obsolete religious passions of the the American people and is refreshingly subversive when compared to typically flag waiving Facebook faire. It is worthy of a 'like,' but does not meet the requirements for a 'love.'

I mostly use it to keep up with relatives I don't actually want to talk to. That way if someone asks me if I know that cousin Whogivesafuck got married, divorced, died, or had children, I can say yes and not have to discuss it. Facebook also reminds me to say happy birthday or happy anniversary as necessary. Familial obligations fulfilled in the lowest effort way possible.


Oh, and I use it to send funny pictures to my mum. I could email them, but she checks her facebook more often than her email.
