who are the real thing, to me (Flylady blatantly copied almost all their stuff), once had a jackass like this guy call a radio station whose talk show they were being interviewed on to complain about his wife, who had let herself go, was fat and ugly, didn't care about the house, blah blah blah. You know, the usual. Pam, the older of the two sisters (who was about fifty at the time), said to him, "How about your kids? How are they doing?" (He had mentioned he had four of them.)
"Oh, they're great. I have to admit she did well there. The oldest is a doctor, the next boy is a district attorney, the middle girl has her bachelor's degree but she has a great family with two kids and her husband is a construction worker, and the youngest is just graduating from college this spring."
Then she hit him with the truth. "Sir? Do you know how hard it is and how much time it takes to get four children through teething, out of diapers, potty trained, under your thumb, through grade school, into puberty, over their fears, into their successes, out of high school, and successfully graduated from college?"
Silence for about five seconds, and then.... Click....
He'd run away because he couldn't handle it.
In short: Fuck your platitudes, Flylady. And fuck you sideways, asshole husband of a "Flybaby."
I am now going to investigate Unfuck Your Habitat.
