But she admits that she’s actually incompetent. And the brother has more skill. Is there anyone who wants to be in close proximity to someone who seems like can’t handle a metal fire pit?

God, I wish. My boyfriend’s parents think I walk on water since I was the one who convinced the judge to give her probation instead of the jail time he really wanted to nail her with. They now think that she'll somehow become a functioning adult if she hangs around me. Nothankyouverymuch.

Eexcept she actually says that he grills and she doesn't. She's acting like a brat.

I’m laughing bc this could legitimately be my boyfriend’s younger sister. She’s the baby of the family and a major fuck up. She’s just come out of a decade of flunking out of college, getting fired from every job for 7 years straight because of her wine and weed habit, and getting probation bc she was with her loser…

Right? Especially if she isn't great at it. Accept the help graciously instead of possibly making everyone sick. Way to lean into the bratty little sister stereotype.

Hello there! I’m likely your brother’s girlfriend bc we also had a cookout recently bc my boyfriend’s defensive baby sister decided to buy herself a grill and cook all of the food herself. Not wanting to repeat the hellish weekend that followed her previous and disastrous foray into Turkey frying, I told my boyfriend…

I’ve always thought this was extremely distasteful. I lost a fiance years ago, we had no children and he didn’t have a brother. I understand, very briefly and in a moment of insanity, entertaining the idea of trying to recapture what you had with someone who is close to what you lost and then shaking it off. BUT…

My mom used to make comments about herself like ‘I wasn’t really fat, I was your size’. For the record, I was a size 2 when she said this. Fortunately, my middle school had a really comprehensive curriculum on emotional abuse. I mean it was meant to arm girls against boys and men but it also worked against moms too. I…

“I’m going to become a first-time father in late January.”

I think it’s less about wanting to be relatable to the ‘cool kids’ and more relatable to Joe the Plumber. Trying to take the east coast= elite = snobby= uppity bitch perception down a notch. What women in her generation and above don’t understand is that old white men aren’t going to like us more if we play golf and…

I always replace oil with mayo, in everything I bake. It makes such a difference in taste.

Re: failing at your eating disorder, there was a thread on Twitter that got so many replies from women across the globe about how their moms encouraged their disordered eating or unhealthy dieting practices as long as it kept them thin. It was amazing to me how prevalent mothers preferring skinny daughters to healthy…

Gwen, have you had them fried?

Considering they conned thousands of people into foreclosure under the guise of helping them when they were underwater on their mortgages so that they could keep their portfolio balanced, they can fuck all the way off with this bullshit.

Oy, midwesterners.

They also have bad taste. 

Truth.

Agree. I’ve been going to bars for over a decade and I can count on one hand the number of times a bartender has gotten involved when I’ve witnessed someone getting harrassed or been in the group getting harrassed. If it gets bad, the people who intervene are usually the other patrons closest. This bartender had his…

You know, as batshit as all of this woo nonsense is, I completely understand why there are women who buy into it. Access to education and healthcare for women-specific issues is disappearing by the day in a neo-nazi, evangelical christian, anti-science F-5 tornado. Serena fucking Williams can’t even get a doctor to…
