Not really the vibe I got reading this. More like She wants to work but doesn't like the inflexible hours of her chosen profession so instead of doing nothing she does this which lets her be home when she needs to for the kids while still also making a bit of extra money to help with the family's finances. Nothing in this article indicates that the family has a problem with lavish spending or any other out of touch with reality problems.
- goldcd 7y agoI'm with you on this. I really don't like the 'gig-economy' being a replacement full-time job, but I can definitely see the advantages of it when you're at a loose-end and just want a bit of extra cash. ~ to when you decide you really should get off your ass and ebay off that stuff that's been sitting in the corner for a year.
- PhantomGremlin 7y agoNothing in this article indicates that the family has a problem with lavish spending or any other out of touch with reality problems. I agree with the GP. The following screams "out of touch with reality" to me: There are also four dogs, a bunny, a tortoise, chickens, ducks, goats and a not-so-miniature miniature pig named Squiggy. Forget the rest of the menagerie, does a suburban family really need four dogs? Maybe they're raising the pig for an end-of-summer luau, but we don't usually eat dogs in the USA. So do they really need that many pets?
- paul_f 7y agoThe great thing about living in a free society is choices. Some people might like to have 4 dogs in the same way someone else might want to have a swimming pool. To each their own and we should avoid passing value judgement on individual preferences when it has nothing to do with ourselves.
