I did the same. I thought a nice bit of daily snippets would be good. It annoyed the hell out of me. Now I listen to the 15 minute NPR morning podcast while I fix my hair and do make-up and I like that a lot. 

For me it’s their attitude/language. My son watched one guy who played Sonic and then in one video he kept dropping the N-word. For others it’s how they treat/talk to their kids or others. Like the one family did this whole extended thing where they were talking about an old lady in their neighborhood and calling her…

I hate that my Twitter feed constantly has those autoshare posts like “All up in that #skimmlife” trying to get people to sign up for this vapid newsletter as if we weren’t aware it existed. 

Thank you for this list! I have a few gamers that I don’t mind my son watching but there are so many others that are just garbage. Just total garbage. Unspeakable and FGTeeV get on my last damn nerve and I have outlawed both of them based on that. I need some new options. 

I’m glad I’m not the only one! It sucks. I don’t know why some adults get off on excluding people. 

I work at a university and the questions that parents ask just drive me crazy. “Can my son have his own desk chair in his dorm room? Where should my daughter park if she needs to unload heavy items for her dorm? Why did they change the hours to the taco bar at the cafeteria? How can my son return a book to Chegg?”…

That book is so riveting. It was really well-written and so powerful. It was such an interesting look at how this happened and then the most interesting thing for me was the aftermath and the legends and stories that came up afterwards about the students who were shot and how those stories ran wild afterwards. I…

I agree. It’s not a joke if you make someone cry. It’s just being a dick. 

My youngest was obsessed with the idea of April Fool’s Day when he was 5. I decided to play a prank on him. I saw it online. Put red Jello in a drinking cup with a straw inside. Tell your child there’s a glass of Hawaiian Punch on the counter. Watch as they try to drink the jello. I did this. He laughed. Then he ate…

YES! I hate EvanTube. They were a totally normal family in a normal house in the earlier ones and now they’re in a mansion that the kids paid for and the dad does all of these super weird singing videos and they’re just terrible. The kids are very entitled and the mom is constantly mugging for the camera in her hair…

My couch (which admittedly is not a great couch) came from a discount furniture store and was only $289. So buying a $400 chair - when I have kids that will inevitably stain that $400 chair - seems like a foolish choice for my life. 

I want that chair - but honestly $400 is still a pretty expensive chair. 

This is good to know. There’s a store near me that sells them so I can at least try them on and exchanges shouldn’t be an issue. Next paycheck, I’m going for it!

I have my eye on a pair of Lotta’s! I like the look of them and I think they’d be cute with jeans. These are the kind of style I’m looking at.

I can’t decide on clogs. I’ve had my eyes on these for a while because I think they’d be cute with jeans and for weekend and casual fridays at work. But then I also just don’t know. Are they too frumpy?

But they still do Wilmer Valderrama, right? I get partial credit. 

I saw a photo of Siwa at the Nick Kids Choice awards and she was dressed like a 7 year old and others her age were dressed like teenagers. I mean, this is fairly common in the Disney/Nick world where the stars have to be “wholesome” for their young fans but she’s taking it to an extreme level and I predict in exactly…

Ha! Almost. I saw my son do it in the car from the rearview mirror and I said “Did you just wipe boogers on the car seat?” and he said “I tuck it between the seats and I only do the dry ones. So it’s OK.” And I promptly gave up and just accepted that they’re feral.

Yeah, you can’t be like “I’m saying YOU are pathetic - it’s just that the show you star on is pathetic and everyone on it is pathetic - except you.” Nice try, Denise. 

I once told my kids “You’re essentially eating nose poop. Your body is getting rid of that, just like it gets rid of poop. Would you eat your poop?” and they were like “EWWW NO!” and I said “That’s your nose’s poop.” And then I’d say “nose poop!” a few times when I caught them doing it. Now they won’t.

But how do I…
