another reason not to have kids btw is that you can continue hanging around yr house naked without writing a hand-wringing newspaper column about it

AMONG the indignities that one may suffer when renting a Manhattan apartment — too little space for too much money, dismal natural light, tiresome flights of stairs, creepy neighbors — the lack of a dishwasher is high on many lists.
So when people make the leap from renter to owner, not having to hunch over a sinkful of dirty dishes is a must.
“It is now an inalienable right, not a privilege,” said Maria Manuche, a broker at the Corcoran Group.

TBF, I would guess that a dishwasher is probably harder to obtain relative to income in NYC than it is in most places in the US.

also, who the hell doesn't close the bathroom door... ever? that's gross
It’s not like I haven’t struggled all my adult life with my body image. But there’s something affirming about how much my children have always loved and needed my body, from breast-feeding, to shared baths.
Tell me more about that.

I mean, if that doesn't describe the heart of the problem right there, it's at least a very creepy roadsign pointing in the right direction

I don't see the problem with changing in front of your family, or lounging around in boxers or whatever. People definitely need to close the door when using the restroom though. Probably shouldn't share a bath after age 3 or so.

the ruling class doesn't have to worry about Child Protective Services, apparently.
and yes, close the fucking bathroom door ... not just b/c yer kids shouldn't wanna see yer bits, but they also don't wanna smell yer stank.

I was pissed off when my mom would barge into my room without knocking before I was 12, I think. And definitely after that point! A dude needs some private time.

We are a naked household because I enjoyed breastfeeding so muchhey kids remember when we used to take baths together as I wander casually down the hallway
Feel like if she's gonna raise nudist kids (which is ultimately fine with me as long as novody's being endangered) she should have worked through the angst rather before her older son turned 12.
