About Sue, Domestic Partner
Sue was a special young girl, playing MASH with her friends but never dreaming of a wedding or diamonds. (White was never her color, and she dislikes all things that sparkle.) In college, Sue met her friend, The Lawyer. After college, Sue met Jen. Guilty of being an overly involved yenta, Sue set Jen up with The Lawyer. Years later, Sue has advanced from being a yenta to their future wedding minister. She herself, however, hopes never to walk down the aisle with her beloved, The Doctor. They are eternally domestic partnered at the hip, and continue to fulfill their ever-evolving household superpower duties — her as Dish Woman, and him as Garbage Man.
About Jen, Domestic Goddess
Jen was a slave to the non-profit Man in NYC before meeting the man of her dreams and being whisked away to London, where she has fully embraced her inner domestic goddess and love of vacuuming. Eventually she will have to hang up her apron and return to academia for her MBA; but the lady of leisure thing has not gotten old yet… She has a preternatural obsession with Nutella (heretofore banned until her honeymoon) and cannot wait to have babies. If she weren’t set to marry The Lawyer, she and James “Doesn’t Lose Suction” Dyson would be MFEO. Obv.
About The DomestiGals
Sue and Jen like to think that we exemplify, but by no means typify, young women today. We are good friends, so we have enough in common (a cup of intellect, handful of humor, and a pinch of sass) that we like hanging out with each other. We used to work together, so we have similar professional interests. We both went to good colleges and have nice, loving families. We like to exercise and strive to be fit and feel fabulous (even if we don’t always). We are both ambitious yet strive for a life-work balance that will allow us to enjoy ourselves while accomplishing our goals.
There have never been more opportunities available to young women, and never have so many different lifestyles been accepted and embraced. While this may make our lives happier, it certainly doesn’t make things easier. There are too many choices! Too many options! Too many support networks and safety nets! All of this is overwhelming, to say the least.
So that is why the DomestiGals are here. We have done a lot of soul-searching, both individually and together (when we should have been working – don’t tell our old boss!). We have explored different options and different lifestyles with different people, and we have both finally achieved situations that work for us and make us happy. As DomestiGals, our message is this: as long as you are honest with yourself and unafraid to go for what you want, you will get it, and maybe even find that you feel happy and fabulous along the way.
