For All The Slacker Moms

"I've been working since I was 5 years old, so my kids are going to start working next year, at ages 4, 6 and 8. They're going to start applying for jobs very soon."

~Jessica Seinfeld, New York Magazine Oct. 2009

I guess Jerry's running out of money.

I hope this doesn't affect my residual checks.

  1. I need Jessica to light a fire under my 16-year old. Actually, he's looking, but, you know, the economy.

  2. Never too young to start pulling your own weight! Goldfish crackers don't grow on trees, you know...

  4. I think that confirms the fact that he married her for her mind.

  5. I'm about to give up on my horrible children and just sell them.

    BTW, we just saw the Seinfeld episode the other night. It's now known in our house as the Suzy episode.

  10. Great, as if it wasn't hard enough to find a job as a mature woman, now we're going to have to compete with 4 year olds who will take much lower pay and have the energy to work longer hours.

  12. I agree with Frau! She should leave the funny stuff with Jerry!

  13. Vodka sent me. Very appropriate post as my 20 year old daughter needs a job - she keeps whining about being a full time college student. She has grown tired of my " I worked my way through college" speech.

  17. What an inspiring idea. It almost (ALMOST!) makes me want to have kids.

  18. Isn't that what kids are for? To lower our workload. I haven't done dishes in soooo long.
