Toni is fantasizing about how she would like Shannon to behave… that fantasy includes having Shannon cook all the meals, clean the whole house including the attic and garage, organize everyone’s closets, wash the car, and then when not working she disappears into her room where Toni and Brad can’t see her. And you don’t think that’s servile?
I don’t like the implication here that women who aren’t “excited” to have a kid simply aren’t “ready” yet and will change their minds given enough time. That’s not how it works.
That’s exactly what all women want to hear… they’re own instincts, desires, and feelings swept aside and to be told, by a man who shouldn’t even be up in her business, that it’ll be fine, go with it, don’t worry about this thing that will change you and your life forever.
There are laws in all 50 of the united states requiring your employer to give you your final paycheck, including payment for all time actually worked, sometimes the same day you were fired, sometimes no later than two days, sometimes at the normal scheduled payday. Not giving employees their final paycheck will get the state’s labor board to come down on you real quick, often with punitive fines and sometimes even with the former employee being owed extra money (punitive amounts) for every day that last paycheck is late.
