@jegga Bitch could sing, for an album or two. Listen to her songs, disregard the rest.
Snoop Dogg - Nigga could rap, for an album or two. Jam to the beats, forget the rest.Great debut album, then she went all anti- because she wouldn't play along with the studio. Maybe missed out on the big time, nothing is guaranteed, she'll never know now
She signed a deal with a decent sized record label in the states . They told her that they wanted her to lose weight , she went back to NZ got fatter and decided she preferred the clam to the chutney ferret and they realised she was an unreasonable nutcase and dumped. She says it’s because Americans are stupid , yeah the record label are the stupid ones dear.
I'm sure I read an article not that long ago where she sort of admitted that she'd fucked up and thrown away an opportunity of a lifetime, and when she realised it was far too late. I looked but I can't find it though

The was a doco last year about kiwi women in rock , Sharon O’Neill talked about how as her record label was about to launch her in the Uk market there was a strike at the record printing plant and her career never regained momentum, Jenny Morris talking about how paralysis of her vocal cords ended her career.
And then there was Anika Moa, given the opportunity those other two would have killed for. The record label were going to invest a lot of money in her and market her in the US as the next Jewel , they loved her songs but they wanted her to lose some weight and try and give a veneer of sanity or at least not say such fucking stupid things if she was in the vicinity of s microphone.You know the rest, I wonder if she looks at Lorde and wonders what might have been?

@jegga you do realise we have had this EXACT conversation already but it gives me an excuse to Google images of Jewel so I apologise to no one.
You should apologise for only posting one photo.

while, technically correct, I bet this will be going down well
He’s right tho, being a mother or father isn’t a job. It’s a choice.
It’s fucken hard ‘work’ there are times I long to escape back to work!
But it’s not a job. -
I should add my wife does home based child care, best thing we ever came across. It’s allowed her to be at home all the way through our girls upbringing ( both now at school) while earning a pretty decent crust ( awesome tax breaks) looking after up to 4 other peoples kids every day is definitely a job. She has paper work fills out reports has to follow set plans for each kid. She loves it but it’s not the same as raising our 2 girls ( ours are much worse :))
-
So stuff basically ignores the whole Labour kiddie camp sexual assault thing because they'd rather shit out pieces like this
https://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/parenting/102406537/ways-in-which-motherhood-is-exactly-like-work
It is hard work. But if you don't like not getting paid for it don't have kids!
-
I find this whole conversation sexist.
I am triggered.
I have amended the above sexist post accordingly...
@canefan said in Alternative needed from the absolute crap of stuff.co.nz:
Perhaps co-parents should be paid by their partners for looking after their kids and running the household?

@taniwharugby Pretty sure Richardson is becoming more and more of a tosser as he ages.
Rigor is always gonna have a place in my heart ( By default along with any NZ batsman with a 40 plus test batting average ) but it does seem to me he says inflammatory shit just for the sake of it. He does come across as quite the dickhead.

Not sure I agree with you here.
It's not a "job".
He's saying what quite the vocal majority of TSFers are saying.

Yeah but being a dick about it

@booboo What quite the vocal majority of men who aren't primary caregivers, you mean.
Yeah probably.
But take the gender roles out of it.
Mumming and Dadding aren't jobs. They're roles in a family.
Mrs boo did not get paid for staying home and looking after Ms boo jr. Which she did for the most part of her childhood. She did it because she elected to, she wanted to and I had the greater earning capacity. It made sense for us.
It wasn't a "job".
We received income assistance ("Family Tax Benefit" part A & part B IIRC), which is not pay for the job of being Mum. We also received income from my employment. Which paid for our family.
When I was at home and became "Dad" it wasn't a job either. It was being a family.
Not sure I'm expressing this well. And I agree Richardson knew he was poking the hornetts' nest, but I really don't think he is wrong.
