ummm..yeah, you can teach them boundaries of good touch and bad touch as well as have them participate in the family customs. I seriously doubt being forced to hug Aunt Myrtle will lead to some inability to understand they own their body. I never force my kid to hug/kiss strangers but i do force him to acknowledge…

My mom used to hold me down and hit me with a wooden spoon until she was scared the screaming would be heard by the neighbors. She lost her mind in anger and i try very hard to not " be her" with my son. My son is only three, so i am sure the tough decisions will come later. But for now, i have slapped his hand before…

it is definitely the moustache....no likey...

Whatever, then get some male guards to escort him. If religion can be reasonably worked around, I think they should. My bigger take away from this is fuck Gitmo. Jesus Christ, what a horrible horrible thing we have done. I know it's basically impossible to close, but come on. Close this illegal facility and give the…

its kind of sad actually. Her whole life is just a constant stream of approval seeking behaviors.

In my experience(American living in Holland for 12 years) its because Internationals don't crave convenience at all costs. I totally kicked my Mcdonalds habit here because it just wasn't convenient. And while i am with you on the camembert-do you think that would actually go over in the states? No one in my family…

i did that too but there is a lots and lots of evidence that the fake sugar is even worse for you. Like your body thinks its getting sugar but it doesn't, so then it starts searching for it which leads to higher craving of sugary crap. I''ve been working on curbing the habit for awhile now. I just watched Fed Up and i…

what a brilliant impression! I can barely believe its not actually Bill himself.

I guess, but I deal with crappy, annoying customers at my job too but i wouldn't be happy if any of them (especially the very old ones)was physically hurt by something i did.

definitely not alone...its pretty much my entire motto when i am shopping. 1)look thinner 2)be comfortable. Sometimes those rules get broken, like with the killer heels i wore last for our date night but if i feel like i look fat i will be uncomfortable the whole day. Of course i am never looking skinny because i am…

what is the name of their show again? I only saw a few episodes but I cannot remember the name.

No overalls here either, but I grew up in Fond du Lac(can't believe its been mentioned in Jezebel!)so the institution is quite familiar to me. But when i had my baby boy, i got a TON of those cute little baby ones-that i actually hated because it increased diaper changing time. I digress, i finally watched the video…

do I really need to choose just one??

depends on your definition of "waste."

Blame TV. So many sitcoms feature overweight, no super attractive, feckless males married to (super)models.

what is the plot of Pocohantas 2?

he'd be perfect if his teeth were whiter.

Its not unsurprising to us that you are male. You forgot to say.."Good guys always finish last!"

or have you ever seen the guy that comes up to you, starts talking bullshit-you blow him off and he goes up the way a little bit and starts talking to another lone girl? Its a numbers game.

yes-most women will never ever assume you are only interested in what she has read. Why would you care about what a complete stranger has read anyway? But, keep trying if you want. If she puts the book down in her lap and actually gives more than a half a second eye contact-maybe she is interested in having a…
