What's the name of the pediatrician? (long silence...)


So Celine worked full time, cooked each night, bathed the kids, read to them, put them to sleep?

Jesse didn't know the pediatrician's name, never made appointments, never arranged for babysitters--typical guy. But he didn't do anything? She worked full time and was the full time homemaker too? While he taught 2 measly days a week at the American School?

Why was it left to her to put the stepson's project in his bag? where was Jesse, asleep or getting laid?

I know lots of women complain about these issues (myself included) but this was pretty extreme. Was she just ranting and exaggerating or is that possible? If she really did absolutely everything she said, then she's a control freak (and he's likely a total slacker too). No wonder she's pissed!

That she didn't give the phone to Jesse twice when his son called tells me she's a control freak.

Pretty much. I've heard this be called the "second shift" for women.
