   Love the way the ‘career man’ used his affection to reward and punish her – “he didn’t even kiss me on his way out”.

   I like how his first comparison was about the girls at the office. Like it wasn’t enough of a stereotype for the stay-home wife to worry about him banging his secretary, he’s saying she cooks better too! Just the fact that this was a successful marketing campaign is really, really sad.

   I wanted so badly for her to dump that hot coffee in his lap and tell him he’s on his own for his next caffeine fix.

   Reminds me of a Roughing it in the Suburbs: Reading Chatelaine Magazine in the Fifties and Sixties. It had ads pushing vacuum cleaners as Mothers Day gifts.

   That just creeped me out. Just his sense of entitlement even for a cup of coffee! Gross.
