"There's nothing as fulfilling as being a mom." How the hell does he know? And does this mean that he will never, ever be fully fulfilled 'cause he will never, ever be a mom?

I am also interested in whether his mom feels fulfilled after spawning this guy.

Gutfield should do it. Evidently, he thinks it is a cushy job.

I was a stay at home mom for 11 years, and it was both the hardest job and most fun I've ever had. Everyone should have a choice in how they raise their kids and live their lives. There isn't a right answer for raising kids, it's easy and hard no matter how you do it. but F*CK them for acting like it's all that women can do, all that women aspire to, all that they are CAPABLE of. If I could do it again I would - broke but happy. Finding free fun in worms and creeks and woods. I get so mad that the expectation is that women will capitulate and do this because a man told her to stay home with the kids. In the kitchen. barefoot and pregnant. F*CK the dads who act like caring for their kids is "women's work". These men make me wish I could live in a women's commune, sharing the work, sharing the love, sharing the life. I'm rambling because they have me so mad I'm monologuing!!!!

Guttsmeld is an epic asshole. What is the point of droning on about how other people should live? People gonna do wtf they want to do. As it should be. Fuck all these opinion artists.

Just quit says the millionaire who got her job through cronyism

*rolls eyes*

You know, I chose to stay home for 3 years with youngest when we moved to this rural county, cause there were no part time jobs to be had that would pay me for the gas to get there plus the day care. It was very tough. Hubby and I had many a spat over lack of money. I was bored as fuck doing the same old every day, cause got to keep on schedule (or, I did anyway, we had like art time and walk time and reading time and yadda yadda, plus I had the entire house to keep, cause I figured if I was gonna stay home I was gonna teach and clean. Exhausting day and what did I get from hubby? Whines about his real job and how we needed more money).

Point: I did both Career AND Stay At Home and both have their ups and their downs, but the one fundamental truth is unless you are a fucking millionaire who got your job through cronyism, there's no fucking way you can just "quit"

Guys like Gutfeld, by their omission, treat fatherhood as an afterthought. You came, now you need to get on with your life. Deal with it, hon.

For some women being a mom is deeply fulfilling. For others, a balance of parenting and having a career you are proud of is the right balance. And for some women, having kids is not what they want, at all, or they have different reasons why it’s not for them. For some it’s just not physically possible, and they may not be interested in other options to be a parent.

I think the more interesting and certainly more perplexing question here, is why wingnut men like Gutfeld are so obsessed with assigning motherhood to women. It’s strange. But many things conservatives believe are strange. Just let people find their own path. Life isn’t a linear, pre-written journey. It’s a wide open adventure that is often scary, confusing, hard, unfair, lonely and full of endless choices and circumstances. It’s also often unpredictable. People like Gutfeld are presumptuous fools. Stay far, far away from people who claim to know what life choices will make you happy. Do your best, with the gifts and skills and limitations you have, to find your own version of happiness or peace. Happiness is aiming high for most people, in my opinion. I think the older I get the more I realize that most people are just looking for peace, and a life that affords them moments of happiness and joy. More people than we realize are struggling, depressed, anxious, or feel sad, or lost, or inadequate. So be kind, and don’t presume to know what will make a person happy, especially staying home to raise babies, which for some people is a very unpleasant proposition.

My wife is very proud and happy to be a mom to our son, but she also has a career and doesn’t enjoy staying home all day. I’m also proud to be a dad, and impressed with myself that I was able to do it. I never intended to. But my wife is so special she made me want to be a dad. But only once. I wasn’t up to having another.

Keep conservatives out of your business, away from your hopes and dreams, and find your own way. Love whoever you love, be happy with yourself and be whoever you want to be. And be kind and forgiving with yourself. Life is hard, especially with assholes like Trump, Gutfeld and people who presume to tell you what to do with your life.

I don't really like children, especially in their gooey and loud stages. If I had become a mom both me and the kids would not feel good about it. I made the right choice. And it was my choice to make. BTW, I feel fulfilled by doing what I want now that I'm retired. I've had jobs I loved and others I've loathed, but I needed the money and I knew it.

Wow. Very well done! My reaction to Futtgeld is just to say "Shut the f*ck up".

and every guy who doesn't like his job should quit it and be a dad! the R's will support paternity leave, won't they? hello?

Daniel O'Riordan's avatar

The guy ejaculated. Worked up quite a sweat. What more do you want?

Zyxomma's avatar

Ta, Robyn. I never, ever wanted children and I'm glad and grateful I'm past it. I'm also glad my darling husband never had kids also, too.

I don't. I don't feel bad for these people. I don't feel bad for the women who tried to Niemöller themselves into thinking they'd be immune to the fallout. I don't feel bad for a single person who voted R and finds themselves falling thru the tattered safety net. I don't feel bad for anyone who screamed "Trump" and "Guns (cold dead hands, etc)" who were eventually visited by violence.

I no longer feel sorry for anyone who could have helped us prevent this but couldn't be asked and now they are being swallowed by it all. All - ALL - of my empathy reserved for the clueless is being redirected elsewhere.

Fuck. These. People.

RE people who voted R... It is very important that they be taught that Repubs are not Repubs any more and haven't been for some years. Vote for candidates and issues, not for a single letter.

"why do people hate their jobs?"

Only someone who was born into a wealthy family and gets millions for lying on TV would ask this kind of question

It's like the Black people, and the Jews, and the gays, and the women, NONE of them thought that the leopards would actually eat THEIR faces!

so is Greg a mom? is that how he knows about the fulfillment of motherhood?

I wonder if his own mom has any thoughts, like Jesse Watter's mom

Or Pete Hegseth's Mom.

sad angry white man who knows he's unattractive says wut?

(and also, fuck all those pick me girl enablers of this type - not only do they make it worse for everyone else, they want sympathy and support when they 'finally see the light' of what they have brought upon themselves)

Every time I see Kennedy, I picture her whispering to herself, “I was on MTV. I’m still cool. I was on MTV. I’m still cool.”

That mantra has to be what keeps her from running screaming from the set of The Five and googling “how to tie a noose.”
