Seriously???We both take turns depending on where one of us needs to go. You sound like a very chauvinistic
person. Why, in the world, does it matter who is driving the car/mini van/van? You must be one of those men who won’t even take out the garbage because”Es pos nisht for a ben Torah.” But it’s ok if the wife goes out to work to support YOU when you are sitting and learning. According to the kesuba, it says all the things that the husband is responsible –not the other way around, You’re supposed to provide her living quarters, her jewelery
How are you planning to do this? With the money she is going out to earn? Oh, yes, I forgot—according to Halacha , she doesn’t own anything–the money that she works for really belongs to you. I’m sorry–this isn’t Yiddishkeit–this is krumkeit. Get over it and man up.

Through the ages Jewish people have owned dogs–for guarding the sheep and other farm animals. Have you ever owned a dog? I grew up with them as we grew up on a farm. We had all kinds–Shephers, collies, mutts, boxers, Belgian shepherds, labradors, partial dalmations etc. I absolutely LOVE dogs. They gave me much happiness growing up in a situation that was painful and horrible. This is why they use dogs to visit the elderly in nursing homes, sick children who may or may not recover from a debilitating illness. The ONLY reason that we don’t have a dog now (in the heart of Brooklyn) is because no one is home all day. We both work and the kids are in yeshiva all day. Not fair to leave a people animal alone like that. I feel bad leaving my parrotkeet alone all day. By the way–Adam HaRishon named the dog appropriately–if you take away the nekudos under the word kelev and add a shva and tzeirei you have the word–kilev–like the heart. That is what a dog is–the heart of his master. Everyone should have nachas from their children and grandchildren, but it is heartwarming to have a dog put his chin on your lap and want a scratch behind the ears–ahh peacefulness.
