Lupita wins, but my mind automatically went to the Pantsuit Rainbow.

Oh yay an entitled parent who thinks that because they made the choice to have children the rest of the world has to revolve around them.
It isn't her problem. It's her colleagues. It's not up to her to work out a solution.
I'm sorry, but if you seriously think that the LW should just put up with their coworkers' kids because finding childcare is hard, you need to reevaluate your life. Part of having kids is making sure that they're be properly supervised. Period. My parents brought me to work when I was sick/there was no other option.…
Apparently you have chosen to ignore that we who do not have children are subsidizing your children's education by paying property taxes. Seems this isn't enough for the self-absorbed parent who also demands free child care from her coworkers. You chose to have the kid, you are responsible for its care. The retail…
Not having kids does not mean you can not have an opinion on a professional workplace environment. (Or about children for that matter, but that's another discussion.) If you have to bring your children into work, you are responsible for parenting them. The burden is on you, as the parent, to make sure your offspring…
Oh, look...an entitled parent who want special treatment because they have kids. Railing against the system in the US if fine, but don't make your kids your cowokers problem. They are NOT.
There's definitely grace involved in how the LW is acting, I don't know how she could handle it with more grace - she's not acting badly towards the kids, she brought it up with the parents and is expressing sympathy for their problems. She's looking outside herself to try to find a solution that's agreeable for…
Nope. Her co-workers need to be more professional. End of.
They didn't say anything about snow days and you don't know that that is the issue. I have kids. And I pay for afterschool care for my kids. One of my coworkers relied on her mother for her after school care and when something came up she started leaving work every day to go pick the child up from school (about 1.5…
To the couple: When I was first out of college, my sister's father died and I had to choose between petitioning for custody, letting her go into foster care, living a with a friend of the family, or going back to live with our very inept, unstable mother. She's been with me now for almost six years, and while I would…
South Africa was internationally isolated because a large group had no rights based on their skin color/ethnicity/race. Everybody is happily doing business with Saudi Arabia. It's just women after all.
How do you eat nachos with a fork? I'm asking in a logistical sense. If you stab a nacho, wouldn't it break? if you 'scoop' to avoid breakage, wouldn't a spoon be better?
Eh, she's a Brit. Beans are a standard breakfast item, like grits or oatmeal.
Can we stop pretending he cancelled shows in a desperate attempt to get his wife back? I work in the live music industry (cough::rhymes with Nive Lation::cough) and he's sold <30% of a 6,000 seat arena, in my (medium sized) market. Probably would have done better about 6 months ago, but this was just a case of…
Bravo to Rogen for shaming the jerks who skipped out on his speech - having your photo taken with Jim Lovell, while a nice perk, should never outrank discussion about Alzheimer's. That's your government in action, folks, photo ops with astronauts vs listening to impassioned pleas to take action to help those fighting…
I had to remind my grandmother that her husband had died years before. :(
I'm so happy he did this. I know from personal experience how truly awful this disease is for those who suffer from it, and their loved ones. There is an extreme lack of appropriate, accessible and affordable care for those diagnosed AND those who are primary caregivers. My family was turned upside-down by Alzheimer's…
I'm glad that Seth did this. It's easy to forget about people who suffer from Alzheimer's or other mentally debilitating illnesses. Families helping a mother/father/sister/brother/spouse need all the help that they can get.
