Was it a Honda with no drain plug, where you have to tip the whole mower on its side and drain it out of the fill tube? If so, I feel you.

Not a Honda, but yeah, same deal. It basically dribbles down the side of the engine and deck and goes everywhere except the drain pan. Horrible

I actually just changed the oil on my father's Toro super recycler with a B&S engine. No drain plug.

I mean, it's hard enough to get your average consumer to regularly change the oil in their car and I would assume such people aren't even aware their mower has oil to change. For all intents the oil in a small engine is a lifetime fluid.

It probably comes down to when the motor was made. I haven't had a Briggs motor made after the early '90s. But yeah, I remember their drains because they used square plugs.

My Toro has a drain plug, but I'm letting it die so I can get an electric mower :getin:

So I found out how a "friend" of mine really feels about me after some good natured ribbing turned into brutal personal attacks.....Like what the gently caress are you serious? It hurts, but at the same time at least I know where I stand with this person now, Jesus.

I know right! I supported my family for six years while the wife was a stay at home mom, working 60 hour weeks. It's nice to have some breathing room financially for once.

My wife earns about half my regular salary, but she's earning raises faster than I ever will, and becoming ever more integral to the small business she has been with since their beginning. Started out as a tech, and is now practice manager.

Her boss just instituted a monthly bonus tied to their profits...If she hits a certain % of net profit, she earns 3% of gross! Her first bonus was $850, I mean goddamn!

My wife used to make 50k more than I did but then I graduated and now we make the same

Granted when I get my raise or switch jobs I'll be making about 20k more than her and she wants to go to part time but still

I told her she can go part time as soon as I'm making enough to keep us at our current income when she drops off if she wants to live the lifestyle she currently lives and she's happy with that so I'm happy too haha

My wife hasn't had an income since our first kid. She wants to enter the workforce again eventually but we both wanted her to be a stay at home mom.

Yup. We've got an equal division of work and responsibilities. It is a lot different than stereotypical gender norms, but who cares, it works for us.

I'm trying to think of when I've encountered anyone having an active opinion that "the husband should earn more", as opposed to just assuming it to be the norm without really being bothered whether it is or not. Maybe once or twice? And only from older women.

If I could find a woman who didn't repulse me, and would put up with me long enough to marry, who also made significantly more money than I do (or hell, even close to as much as I do), I'd be happy as hell!

Reiterating because why not, but gently caress it, if you can be a stay-at-home dad, be a stay at home dad. Or however close you can get to it. Presumably you didn't have a kid for the express purpose of shipping them off to boarding school to become a lacrosse phenomenon.

My girlfriend makes almost 5 times what I make, and it's been like this pretty much our whole relationship cause she keeps getting promoted every year and I've been in retail while in school.

It's never been a big deal because we discussed it early on in our relationship and came to an agreement on how much we would each contribute to our shares expenses. It has benefited me greatly cause I get to live in places I wouldn't be able to afford on my own and she pays for our date nights a lot of the times and I love her. No ones ever given me poo poo for it, usually when people find out they just want to know what she does and say I'm lucky.

Oh trust me, I'm very secure with where I'm at in life, it's just bizarre to hear that kind of ignorant poo poo from someone who you thought respected you.

The funny thing is it all started with me and another buddy poking fun at his drone flying obsession and it set him off. Weird :v:
