Yeah, I guess it is a big UO to me. I could never imagine being subservient to my partner, we are equals. 

I have to agree @soleil3. I grew up in a household with "the man is the head of the household" beliefs. Yea...not having it. We are equals and BOTH of our opinions matter at the end of the day. No, I will not allow my H to think his opinion weighs any heavier than mine. No need because thankfully my H doesn't believe that theory either.

Equals, period.

This is me. My dad tells me to this day that I need to serve my H. He's mad that I plan to return to work as it's the "woman's roll" to stay home, raise the children and cook/clean for her husband. I should do as he says and respect his word as law ( ) ). It really cheeses me off.

@revez you beat me. This is absurd. To each their own but I don't see men any more "superior" than women. Let's just say I'm a little bit of a feminist

That shit drives me up the wall. I made sure not to have submit in our wedding vows.

When I told my grandma I was pregnant her reaction was that I was going to get fired from my job. She then proceeded to try to scare me that it will be awful if I don't work.  When I didn't get fired she kept saying how sad it was that I wasn't staying at home. One day I had my daughter over there and she says: "Look! She knows who you are even though you work!"

I think women should have register for selective service at 18 just like men. You want equality...it should apply here as well. Not sure if this has been brought up before on UO?

Women aren't allowed on the front lines, I don't think this will happen anytime soon. I think you have a valid point though.

Supposedly by 2016-

I think all drugs should be legalized and
regulated.  Those who abuse them should be offered help for their addictions, rather than being treated as criminals (unless they are found guilty of a criminal offense; i.e. DUI, assault, theft, etc).

Flame away.

I'll agree on marihuana...but you want things like meth & heroin made legal?

Here's the thing: people are going to use these drugs whether they're legal or not.  If they're legalized & regulated, the cartels become obsolete, prices go down, we stop spending trillions on the 'war on drugs', and drug-related crimes plummet.  As someone who worked in law enforcement, I've seen first hand the aftermath of drug-related crimes.  On any given day, the majority of arrests made were drug-related in some way, shape, or form.

I'm not condoning drug use;  I do support legalization, regulation, & government assisted treatment for those choosing to get sober.


I haven't read the next 6 pages but this is the stupidest thing I've heard from someone who " was in law enforcement". You would know drug trends are constantly evolving what is currently pharmaceutical then becomes abused. If you legalized some drugs cartels will not go away because narcotics is a multi billion dollar industry. So they will find a new drug to sell.

I am in law enforcement and drugs are an awful thing. I also lost my bil to a heroin overdose. So I think you are talking out of your ass.

Well this is what I think/feel when I hear "submission" so I don't think I took anything out of context at all. It just isn't a word we use in our household. We value one another too.

I listen to Dr Laura everyday. I think her advice is amazing. Her books and radio show have changed my life

This was literally my punishment for disobeying in highschool. In order to earn back privileges I had to listen to the segment and write a report. Of my dad accepted it I would be able to do whatever I was grounded from the next day. Now I am burnt out for life!

I'm too lazy to go back and find the post to quote here. But I disagree that arming school officials is a good idea. Adding more guns is the opposite of what needs to be done. I know it seems that it's a good idea, in a knee-jerk reaction kind of way , but to me, it's not. I know I live in Canada and it's different up here (thank God) but sending my kid to a school where there is an armed guard at the door wouldn't make me feel safer, it would terrify me.

The plot thickens...

I WISH I was more submissive to my husband.  I am bossy and opinionated and generally feel like my way is the best way.  It isn't healthy for me, and I usually end up feeling pretty guilty after steamrolling him.  The times when I've taken a deep breath and let him take charge I've felt, oddly enough, liberated.  I need to do more submitting in order to balance us out.

I think this is a good way of putting it.  It's all about balance, however your household finds it that's fine by me.

DH is definitely the head of our household.  We make decisions together and he always gets my input.  Honestly when it comes down to it, if someone has to step up and make a decision on something it is going to be him.  I as well have made more than him at one point, so it isn't a bringing home the bacon thing.  It is what works for us.  We are a team, we work well as a team, but if asked, I would say he is the team captain.  

Team Captain - I like that.  Maybe we should make letterman jackets and start a club, haha!

That was me.  I totally agree that having armed people in a school is terrifying, and it's so sad that it even needs to be brought up.  But, it's most certainly not a knee-jerk reaction for me.  I've been a teacher for a while and thought about it for a while.  The bottom line for me is that if someone is going to threaten me and my students, I would prefer to have something more than my body to protect them.

In my first year of teaching, my class and I heard a sound like a gunshot coming from the hallway (it turned out to be a filing cabinet falling a few classrooms over).  They instantly looked at me with "please help us" looks on their faces, and I went to the door to lock and block it, only to discover that that particular room I was in that day didn't even have a fucking lock on the door.  That's a whole different issue in and of itself.

Then, last year when Newtown happened, I was pregnant and my classroom was literally the first door once you entered the building.  Before the greeter's desk.  Before the office.  I've been wondering ever since if I was put in that situation if I could use my body as a shield in good conscience, knowing I carried my own child inside.

I am totally convinced that I could better protect my students if I was packin'.  Hopefully I'll never find out.

This goes back to my post a few pages back - nowadays I think there is a negative connotation to the word "submissive".  And if that is how you want to interpret it, fine by me.  I just have a different way of interpreting things and that word does not offend me. 

As I stated before - to me, submissive does not mean I lie down and let my husband walk all over me.  We're equal and we're partners, but as @theusualmischief stated, when it comes to the wire and a decision needs to be made I'm ok with saying 'hunnie, you make the choice...'.  I respect his choices and he respects my opinions.  It works for us.  And whatever works for you is great too, for your marriage.

I wouldn't say you need to be submissive to him...rather more equal to him. Sounds like you're "in charge" all the time.

I'll bite.  I love to pick apart meanings for the sake of debate.  There is no such thing as "more equal".  There is either equality or inequality.  If he and I are in perfect "equality" as far as in-charge-ness goes and we disagree on something, we're stuck.  Someone has to roll over and show their belly in order to get anywhere, and it totally needs to be me more often.

I completely disagree.

I am scared shitless to send my children to school, because of the school shootings. Unfortunately, I cannot homeschool. My daughter attends pre-K at an elementary school, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel anxiety about that. These school shootings have gotten out of hand. You best believe I would send my child to a school in a heartbeat with an armed guard. I think if guards/teachers are armed, and understand to keep the gun on their body/locked away from students, that would save many lives. Think about the Columbine, Newtown, and various other school massacres. How many lives could have been spared if just ONE good guy in that school had a gun that day?!?!

I got what you were saying...I just didn't think submissive was the right word. If more equal doesn't exist then I don't really have a leg to stand on. Yes when having an argument someone has to give. My vision of relationship equality encompasses the overall big picture of things rather than an individual argument. I don't think a relationship exists where people agree on everything.

Agreed. I'm all for having x amount of school officials/teachers/security guards possessing guns. Send them through a concealed carry class and educate them on what is/isn't appropriate when it comes to using deadly force. I fully support guns in schools. I'm from Colorado and have seen far too much heartache caused by these school shootings and hearing teachers saying there was nothing they could really do but stand idly by hoping to protect their kids with just their bodies and no other source of protection. 

We are probably going to homeschool. We don't have any guns though.

I was a public high school teacher for 5 years at a school where a former student returned to the school, shot 5 students and 1 teacher. Much of the staff that was there for the shooting which happened in the early 90s is still there. I taught in the building and on the floor it happened in.

I felt pretty safe there because that school had a very concrete plan for a shooting incident. We practiced the plan, and knew where to be and we locked doors. We knew it happened and we knew it could happen again. Even though I felt safe, from time to time the thought crept in my head - "Would I take a bullet for a student?" Yes. "Could I kill someone else?" No. I personally would have to settle for disarm/disable. I certainly am the person you want teaching your child, because I would have taken a bullet for someone else's child... but I am not the person you want holding a gun.

Many/most of my co-workers had NO business carrying a gun on school grounds. They just didn't. I think it is an option to have on the table... but I don't think it is an appropriate solution for all situations.

That said, my parents and grandparents worked in public education, I worked in public education, I have my degree, credential, AP educator certification and I was an AMAZING teacher. My students were amazing and most of them loved me and we are still in touch. I taught everything from college level English to Drama to Remediated English/Intervention. I was the certified show pony of a teacher. I miss it like crazy... but I own a stable instead of being a teacher because the education system in my state is broken. The educational system in this country is broken. And in addition to a broken educational structure, we can't keep our kids safe.

I'm terrified. I'm terrified that one day I have to send my girls to school. I want to home school, but I want them to have the social aspects of attending regular schools. I have though about Waldorf schools but hate that they have the same teacher for their entire education - That is way too much influence for one person to have on MY child. Privates are fairly cost prohibitive and the "charter" structure is a joke as we are gradually transforming all the schools in my area into charters which just means a different structure of public.

I'm terrified of sending my beautiful little girls to get bullied, beat up and shot at in school. I'm terrified to send them to a school with a broken system intent on training them to fill in the right bubble rather that to think, decide and act.

Sorry. This is long... and off topic. I think some of the stuff just struck me today.

Okay. I'm gonna stop now.

I have fever anyway...

This is so why I want to move to Canada. They are just better than us.

That's my UO - Canada = Better at things than US.

Revez

I just wanted to say, as someone who has been homeschooled her whole life, it does not prevent bullying, abuse or the use of weapons. In my situation I would have been better off in a school where I had counsellor and teachers to confide in rather than parents. I could've had friends for support and I could've left the bad situation at the end of each day.

I'm not saying that any of you have anything like that going on in your homes. Not at all. But sometimes homeschooling isn't all it's cracked up to be. It can look really appealing from a parents point of view or even from the outside looking in. I know my parents had good intentions, but I (personally) would have been better off in a school.

I understand that viewpoint completely. I can't imagine the terror of being in that situation. Of course if I was there I'd want a gun if that meant people didn't have to die. My view comes from looking at the bigger problem. Adding more guns to combat the epidemic of mass shootings isn't going to stop them. And that's what needs to happen. I just think adding more guns is a bandaid solution that will not work in the long run. But I understand it's incredibly complicated and as a parent absolutely you want a safe environment for your kids. I just think the problem is incredibly complicated and rooted in the culture and politics

Lets talk about my dinner instead of guns mmyay?

So right now I'm eating 2 red potatoes I just learned how to microwave, and my H is coming home with a vanilla shake and large fry from mcdonalds. 

Sweet tooth 1, healthy me 0

Whoa, back up. What do you mean you "just learned how to microwave?"

@BellaOso is mine! I already called dibs! Andplusalso, I live on the prairies, dudes, it's meant to be. Horses and cattle everywhere!



But I still love you all...

@BellaOso I know a great place in Canada you could move to andplusalso our kids are the same age...built-in friends/classmates...just sayin'

Don't think we haven't discussed it in this house!

The hard part is the logistics of our business, DH's job, my dad and smom who we see several times a week. It has come up... but there are a lot of elements involved.

I have to find out more about getting citizenship as well.

My show horse would think he was in frozen tundra hell. He is such a California boy.

Whoa- so I can't count on you for the apocalypse anymore??? Well that changes EVERYTHING if you move.

@RoosterMemphis - I was thinking we would just let you babywear the fam up to the Canada - I will leave you fresh mounts along the way. Plus, this is a long term plan... not a right now plan. Every plan I make has you in it!

@CourtJack and @KatieS7 - It is true, that might heart belongs to @Revez. I will be happy to be a new Canadian and will visit the crap out of ya'll but if I head up that way, I'll be looking near her! We are sisters from different Misters.

I DO live in Sandra Oh's hometown tho.........hmmmmmm?? Does that change things??

Lol. I kid. I'm not messing with @Revez. She lives in Alberta. She probably carries icicles as weapons.

When they melt there's no evidence... It's the perfect crime.

@Marvel1013 you're more than welcome. I'm going to have to start looking into building a Canadian A13 fortress for all you ladies.
