Well this is adorable. Stop it, Jezebel. We're supposed to be cynical old hag-witches over here.

I agree completely. There was a time in my life when I didn't go to church because I had nothing nice to wear. Took a while for me to finally realise that's not what matters.

Has someone already made a "one is not amused" joke?

I want to squeeze him and shake him.

...did you just lay some Hamlet upon us?

Holy shit, you win the internet.

I think you're on to something with the Fat Baby Rabies. I must be more susceptible because I have no prior exposure (my own is a giant, and has been lanky since birth. No chub rolls for her!).

Oh em gee, it must be, because that's what we say!

I love this. I can't handle this. I love the super-excited kicks (and presumably squeals? I'm watching with no sound, for the sake of my co-workers and ovaries) from Prince George. I love the chubby cheeks. I love the FAT ROLLS ON THE WRISTS OH GOD. And the way the Duchess wipes his mouth with her hand, and then wipes…

Breaking: Prince George has Bitchy Resting Face,

Preach.

FWIW, my own father was never the 'overprotective father' type (probably because he's 5'3" and blind, so he's not exactly threatening, bless him). Yes, I went on to marry an abuser. But before that, I was with a long-term boyfriend who was every parent's idea of the "perfect" boyfriend. I mean, seriously, stop and…

Pretty much.

Thank you!

Ja, ex was a douche. I have now watched the video and I'll admit I was definitely expecting something much more violent and dickish. This dude seems to be speaking from a genuine concern about his daughter and playing on the old jokes about "well I'm not going to let my daughter date until she's forty!" and "you're…

Yeowch :( I'm sorry. I know that feel.

Well, no, he doesn't represent all protective fathers, that is true. But I can tell you that in this particular case, I was his 'property'. He actually told me that I belonged to him. And he certainly did not recognise himself as a broken human being. When we were together, he told me that he would quit abusing me if…

Oh, I hadn't thought about it that way. Shitbag and I never had a son, and obviously never will. but I do remember him talking about how he would teach his sons "everything there is to know about women", just like he was taught by his father. The overtone was always "I'm going to teach my sons how to sleep with…

I am commenting without watching the video (that will have to wait until I'm not at work), but the Overprotective Daddy thing creeps me the hell out. I was recently talking with a friend about my ex-husband, who would joke about breaking the neck of any guy who ever hurt our (not even two-year-old!) daughter, and…

Something I find REALLY ironic is that he used to constantly tell me "you need to be more like Emma". 'Emma' - not her real name - is a friend of ours who is just immaculate, all the time. One of those people whose "bumming about the house" outfit it more stylish and gorgeous than what you wear to work every day.…
