I let him play his video games, and smoke his weed. So mostly all that makes up for the fact that I fucking hate to mop floors. I think If I pop out a few more kids being a housewife will be more fun because once the kids get older they can take over the chores and I can focus on cooking and augmenting their education. I now understand why people used to have all those damn kids.

The big problem is actually working with the kid on his words. Not intending on being a jerk (for once), but I *am* a linguist, and trying to teach an infant/toddler/preschooler words does nothing. Read to them, talk with them, but you're wasting your time if you're going over vocabulary.

The sign language, on the other hand, is a really good idea. Kids really do grasp language before they can easily form it with their mouths, but you're still not going to get complex sentences out of them until they're 2-3 years old.

If you're looking for more specific articles on language acquisition and acculturation, try Schieffelin and Ochs (1984, 1990, and 2000). The one from 1990 is studying language acquisition amongst the Kaluli in Papua New Guinea, where adults don't address infants directly (Ahearn 2012, "Living Language" if you're looking for a compilation on the topic).

The video download I linked (the second part of the documentary is the one on child language acquisition, and isn't on youtube, more's the pity), is a serious of interviews with linguists like Chomsky, Pinker, and Lasnik, as well as footage from research on language acquisition. I'm no fan of Chomsky's theories on Universal Grammar, but the research is solid and Pinker at least has made his life's work child language acquisition.

That sounds way too boring to me.

My gf and I cook and clean AND have meaningful jobs that enable us to be productive, creative, have separate lives/social interactions, contribute to the household, etc.

I couldn't imagine just staying at home all day and prolong the cleaning and other chores to fill in the time.

I understand if you have a newborn, but as a lifestyle? There are so many things in this world you are missing out on. I know puttering around the house is convenient, safe, and easy but don't you crave something different?

Don't you want to be able to have more than a couple kids to show for your life? Everyone has kids and most people do a good job raising them... that is basically a given. Don't you have any ambition or dreams or passion for anything beyond using that empty can of Pledge as an excuse to drive to the store just to escape your house for an hour and temporarily relieve the monumental tedium?

When will you and I marry, fellow linguistanon (actually, I have my undergrad in linguistics, planning to return to school for PhD in cognitive science)?
Chomsky's universal grammar theory is somewhat crackpot indeed, but Pinker's notion that language is instinctual in the same manner that spiders build webs without being taught was born from Chomsky's early theory. Study and science are nothing if only a continual attempt to prove itself wrong and discovering new information to do it.
Also, better than either in regards of language acquisition in children, is the opus of Ursula Bellugi and Edward Klima whose works included studies of language acquisition amongst deaf children in both hearing and Deaf families as well as hearing children in Deaf families. Though Bellugi herself did later venture into the areas of psychobabble when attempting to portray the deaf/Deaf as cognitively inferior to the hearing, her early work in cognitive science and psycholinguistics have moved these fields forward dramatically.

The tap water here tastes fine and I'll drink it if I have to but I'm totally paranoid about fluoride so I drink specific brands of bottled water with naturally occuring levels of fluoride present.

It's not really paranoia if it's fact-based apprehension. Crystal Geyser and Ozarka are my go-to brands though Ozarka doesn't taste so great so I end up brewing tea with it. When I settle down and get a home I'm going to install a reverse osmosis filter.

You have to have money to do all that and live in a place that would accommodate all those things. I don't, and the way things are going in my life I'm going to be elderly and retired before I do (and that's if I'm very VERY lucky).

Housewife here (or maybe not anymore since I just started studying). I'd enjoy being a housewife if I had kids and a house. Rather than a cat and an apartment. There's nothing to do during the days when the food is all prepped and the apartment is all cleaned.
Or if I could go back in time where being a housewife involved more work I'd do that. Would still want kids though.

You just need to up your game as far as cooking is concerned.

Do stuff like make pasta from scratch, or prepare complicated french dishes that take all day to make. It's fun as hell and tastes better than anything you can get at a store or restaurant.

Congrats, your whole existence is doing stuff that I do on top of my actual job and trying to make it sound more strenuous than it is as you do it in your own house for your own benefit. Weirdly though, you make it sound like every day you have 5 hours of cleaning to do. How does your house get so dirty every new day?

My wife stays pretty busy. I work at home sometimes and she is always moving. She cleans the house everyday. She sweeps, mops, polishes the silver once a week, vacuums the whole house every day. She makes a menu of what the household eats everyday for a week, hunts coupons and shops sales. Plus she does lots of other tasks weekly, mending, sewing, preserving, and such. Plus taking care of an infant, and toddlers is fairly time consuming in it's self.
It is one thing if you are cleaning up and caring for one person. Managing a family is quite different, if done properly it IS a full time job.

If she was working outside of the home we would have to pay strangers to watch our kids, we would have to spend money on an extra vehicle and transportation expenses, and we would have to rely on quicker meals or take-out. The house would be maintained, but not as efficiently as it is now.

Our tap water - 10/10 God tier water
Drawn from an underground cave, that lies under the city, no treatment needed. Comes out of the tap icy cold, and since it has filetered through so many rocks on the way to the cave, it's super crisp and almost sweet to taste.

Considering that sodium, calcium, chloride, magnesium and manganese play important roles in nerve signalling.

Considering that all you "are", your consciousness, is a bunch of nerves in some kind of fatty jello with a tail.

Considering that things like cyanide, arsenic, lead and others can cause severe impairment in even minute quantities, not necessarily because they're really affecting you, but because your brain unconsciously knows you're poisoned.

Considering the pH of water can affect chemical reactions in your body.

The water here doesn't bother me but I've heard folk complain. I've had water from some backwoods shitshacks that wasn't entirely clear and actually smelled of excrement and badness so our passable water works for me. Also I like the way it washes my hair, not too hard or soft.

I would not love to be a housewife in the 1950's. That postwar era is when Americans forgot how to cook and eat right, in those days frozen dinners and canned foods were considered highbrow and trendy.

Being able to actually stay home and clean my house and cook and raise kids without me and my spouse juggling as many jobs as we can find? Damn straight I'd like that.

Florida tap water tastes like chlorine. I still drink it though, too fucking poor for bottled water. Not as good as New England tap water, but it tastes less terrible with time and repeated consumption. Also all tap water is better cold.
