“My Problem with Her Anger” is an article written by Eric Bartels. Bartels is a writer with the Portland Tribune in Portland, Oregon. The author's purpose for writing this article is to describe what his situation is like, living with a wife that has anger issues. One main focus of the article is how his wife does not recognize his accomplishments around the household. This feature can, and will lead to problems in their marriage. It would seem this article is about what it’s like to be on the receiving end of your spouse's anger; however, it’s really about how women and society expect many things from men.
Bartels describes his home life in detail, he has a gargantuan amount of household work. Most of the time it goes unrecognized, only to be criticized for what he doesn’t do. He depicts his wife as a hard worker, who does happen to have anger issues. Instead of identifying an issue and fixing it his wife decides to go to him and

When a couple who have kids, divorce each other in most cases the woman receives custody, leaving the man to pay child support. Women expect men to pay it, yet do not appreciate it fully. Even after they sever the relationship the man pays support, when he will hardly ever see his children. The woman in the relationship only sees the next purchase, not the effort to make the money that her ex-husband provides her.
When going out on a date it is social custom for the man to pay for the woman. If a man lets a woman pay for him, he may be shunned by society regardless of his financial situation. Even if the woman has a salary upwards of 100,000 a year, and the male only has 25,000 a year the man is still expected to pay. It is expected that the man pays, weather it is just common courtesy, or a standard of society. The waitresses and waiters even know this because the bill for a meal will not be placed in the middle of the table, instead in front of the
Another time his wife “stomped into the kitchen as I was cleaning up after a dinner that I may well have cooked and served and announced in angry tones that she needed more help getting the kids ready for bed than I had been providing” (438). So while his wife is portrayed as this woman who snaps at her husband at any moment she can, he is portrayed as this perfect, innocent little angel who just can’t catch a break. Bartels does not mention instances where she has been on the receiving end. He only points out a few slip ups he had before the marriage, such as “I would occasionally lose my cool, kicking a cooler door closed or angrily sending an empty bottle smashing into a bin with an ear-splitting explosion”). So although he admits that he had a bad past and lost his cool before the marriage, he doesn’t take any fall for the marriage issues and wrongly blames his wife for it all.
In the reading “The use of Anger: Women Responding to Racism” by. Audre Lorde it stated that many people respond to racism with anger simply because they see it as something that isn’t right. Lord also explores the complicated reactions that result from being discriminated against. Specifically addressing how other women who have a problem with the anger of black women. It is stated that the authors primary reaction to racism is anger an appropriate reaction to injustice.
Child support must ensure that children actually receive fair, timely, and sufficient support reflecting the state’s high standard of living and high costs of raising children compared to other states, Family Code Section 4053.
The State of Florida has a long standing public policy that prevents the use of child support payments as a bargaining tool. It is the law, not only in this state but also in many others, that parents cannot bargain the right to child support, which belongs only to the children. This Court has previously held that “Child support is a right that belongs to the child, and may not be contracted away by the parents. ‘It is not a requirement imposed by one parent on the other; rather it is a dual obligation imposed on the parents by the State.’” Dechant v. Fla. Dep't of Revenue, 915 So. 2d 215, 216 (Fla. 3d DCA 2005) (quoting Armour v. Allen, 377 So. 2d 798, 800 (Fla. 1st DCA 1979). See also, Burden v. Dickman, 547 So. 2d 170 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989) (holding that “Child support itself, however, ‘is a right that belongs to the child.’” Id at 173. (quoting Cronebaugh v. Van Dyke, 415 So. 2d 738 (Fla. 5th DCA 1982). Many other cases in Florida have discussed this base principle of law. See Budnick v. Silverman, 805 So. 2d 1112, 1113 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002.) In this case the mother bargained with the child support of the children. Therefore, the consideration of the Agreed Final Judgment was illegal as against to public policy. The fact that the subject matter of the agreement is illegal renders the agreement void as a matter of law. Therefore, the “Agreed Final Judgment” is not binding or enforceable contract when it lacks consideration. Moreover, this shall be vacated in accordance with
In the Article “Whos's Cheap?” by Adair Lara, Lara speaks about how men are always believed that they will cover the check. However, Lara tries to fight, that men should be treated as equal when covering the check. Lara excoriates the fact men should have the option to at least split the check, but of course not completely overdoing it by making the woman pay most of it. All the time. Lara gives many amount of her own examples. One of them being how her date judging the price for gas and disgreeing with it, but not helping the driver pay for a bit of it. Another example is when her date asked her out for drinks but then it sadly enough led to a water fountain. These examples are for people to understand the situation, recognize it, and also
Men’s economic consequences are not as drastic as women after a divorce. Noncustodial father’s income increases due to a smaller household. (Lamanna, Riedmann, Stewart 2014). His expenses have decline by no longer having to spend for a whole family but for an individual. However, some men experience a decline in income like women because of the absence of a second income. (Lamanna, Riedmann, Stewart 2014). Divorced men are discriminated at work and are paid less than a married man. Furthermore, noncustodial fathers get taxed more since they don’t have dependents to claim (Lamanna, Riedmann, Stewart 2014). Noncustodial fathers get paid less child support from noncustodial mothers due to their low income compared to noncustodial fathers who pay
Child support orders usually follows divorce. The court mostly determines what the payments will be based off of the income of the non-custodial parent. If the non-custodial parent fails to pay they can be subject to fines as well as jail time. Most of the time you probably see many fathers being put on child’s support. However it’s not uncommon for a mother of children to be put on child support. It can be very emotional and upsetting to parents who do a lot for their kids such as getting school clothes, seeing them often, and being a part of the child’s life and needs. However, they still have to pay child support to a parent that doesn’t use the child support money for the child. I believe child support is good for the dead beat parents that don’t want to take care of their
We fast forward to our current situation. Studies seem to indicate that even people in this day and age, the majority expect men to pay for first dates. An initial argument might be that men still earn more than women on average, with statistics suggesting that they women earn 3/4 that of men. Aside from the fact that the statistic is a bit flawed (many argue it's actually 95%), this still does not justify such an expectation. If we assume gender equality is something we believe in, then the logical expectation is both would pay 50%. If we really wish to enforce this pay deficit, then men should pay roughly 55% and women 45%. Of course paying too much attention to the bill clearly can ruin a date, which gives one explanation why it may be preferred for one side to pay the full amount or otherwise an reasonable (usually equal) split. This is known as going
Ever since I’ve had a boyfriend, I rarely pay for anything anymore. This is all because of the thought that men are supposed to pay for everything. Whenever we go out on dates the check is always handed to him, the waiter asks him what he would like first, and of course he’s expected to pay. I play the role as a follower to him ; that I could never be able to pay or handle anything by myself because I have a man to do it.
For children who have divorced parents, there is always a constant battle for child support from one of the parents. Child support is what helps the other parent raise the child correctly using the money to clothe the child along with feeding and getting a roof over the child's head. The money is for the child's sake and no one else's.
These “chronic angers” can interpret in two ways. In the first place, as translate them as indicating to people in the house being furious. The other choice is to think about the house itself as being irate. On the off chance that is the situation, at that point Hayden's giving us a little measurement of representation, since he's idiom the house has human emotions. It's conceivable that the entire atmosphere is so saturated with anger that the speaker feels it getting through the dividers. That implies they've been around a while, and they're not leaving at any point in the near future. Chronic is an odd word choice. Usually when we hear the word chronic, we think of a sickness. But in this case we're talking about a chronic emotion. In this
First of all, Japan is deficient in several areas of child support , most importantly having no mechanism in place for enforcing payment or collecting arrears. There is also no system for tracking down non-compliant fathers, no requirement to conduct DNA-paternity tests and no means for deducing money from the delinquent father's salary. The courts normally do not take action if a spouse does not meet their obligations. To make matters worse, the legal framework for solving child support disputes is totally inadequate and requires an inordinate amount of time and money. People may not want to try and go alone in raising their children after a divorce considering all those problems concerning child support. Furthermore, the cost of rising a child in Japan is really high, therefore, with only one salary the perspective of rising children can be really hard. Indeed, after the divorce, usually children are under the care of their mothers, and the parental rights of the father are inexistent.
In 2012, I developed a strong belief that whenever a man goes out with a female whether it is a romantic dinner or casual outing, the man should always pay the check. When I was in my first relationship in 2012, my partner at the time was Egyptian and in his culture the man is supposed to always pay the check. So, whenever we would go on a date or casual outing he would reach for the check and pay without any hesitation. However, I tried to pay the check a couple of times and his reply would be “what are you doing? Women are not supposed to pay; the men are supposed to pay”. After his speech and unwillingness to not accept my offer I adopted the belief that men should always pay the check. Nowadays, if I went on a date with someone who did
You’ll hear many mothers who shun child support and say about the father in question, “I don’t want anything from him.” Just because you are receiving child support from this person does not mean that you have any obligation to be socially connected to him. And absolving him of his legal financial responsibility is only rewarding him for the misdeeds that might have alienated him from you in the first
Not all couples go with traditional financial etiquette. There are other options for paying expenses.
