Equity does not exist in households where women make more!

Mom with kids on vacation "Female breadwinners face a much higher risk for burnout, infidelity, and divorce."  When She Makes More ,  Farnoosh Torabi Prince is one of my favorite artists. And, I think that it is genius that the beginning of his famous song, "Let's go crazy" mimics a marriage ceremony. It makes you wonder whether he was suggesting that marriage itself was a path to insanity. If you have forgotten the beginning, here you go, "Dearly beloved, We are gathered here today, To get through this thing called "life" Electric word, life, It means forever and that's a mighty long time, But I'm here to tell you  There's something else..." He writes the afterworld in the blank. However, a recent study suggests that "marriage" could be inserted in its place, especially marriage for high earning women. 

Aunts are the angels God sends to children

Aunt and nephew

"[T]he model middle child is patient and likes to take care of everyone." -Jennifer Garner

My sister and my seven year old share the same birth order. They are  both the middle child. And this has given them a bond. She gets the challenges he has with distinguishing himself in a family with a talented and assertive older sister and a super cute, gregarious little brother. 

She listens to him and she helps him shine. She also came up with a song that has made him think that middle children are the absolute best. I love her for that!

The Middle Child Rock

The middle child rocks!!!

The middle child rules!!!

(Repeat both lines at the top of your lungs with gusto!)

It's been said that "[i]t takes a village to raise a child." That is absolutely true. My sister makes me a better mom because she compensates for me in areas where I am lacking. She is also much more fun than I will ever be!

I agree. I really like "The Middle Child Rock's" chant. As a middle child and an Aunt. I can relate. What a good read.
