My devoutly Mormon dad thinks that the Christian God is only God of the Milky Way. Other galaxies—all bets are off. :)

Well, you're making *me* rethink things as well. If you and your SO have slappin' fights but come out still loving each other at the end and don't cause irreparable harm, who am I to judge? If it works for you, hey, go on slappin' yourselves silly!

It annoys me, too, but I'm afraid you're fighting an uphill battle here. The young 'uns, they play with language and do things that offend us oldies.

I thought Yoga Nerd's story was touching and added a LOT to the conversation, and she opened it with "all the feels". *shrug*

If you insult and demean your fiancée incessantly, I suppose I could see you "deserving" a slap as corrective measure, but most sensible, reasonable people don't attempt to train adults. If our partners treat us like shit, we break up with them; we don't slap them and scold them!

I'm sorry! I've been there! And yeah, I've also been frozen out of editing. I'm truly sorry for you. I suggest walking away and not trying to reply to all of them. Life is too short. :)

That's totally valid, but it's not what you said the first time! I suggest copying this post, editing your original, and pasting this one in if you want readers to stop jumping the fuck all over you!

Holy crap am I ever thankful that strangers don't analyze and speculate about my family feuds!

No one said that colorisnteverything should stop loving her sister! I just thought it was strange that she essentially said, hey a famous person acted violent. But my sister, whom I love, also acts violent! So it must be okay! That makes sense on... maybe a planet other than this one.

"How do we know Solange isn't just like my sister?"

Does the tattoo have a selfie on its arm? And does that tattoo have a selfie on its arm? And so on and so forth?

Awww... well, good for you! :)

Oh no! I'm with you on those. When parents express pure joy at their perfect little angels, I find it touching. My mom never wanted me, and she made that clear. When I see people take genuine joy in parenting, it just warms my heart. No cynicism there!

What about when I post, "I love tea!" and a new mom responds, "Well, SOME of us have willingly given up tea in order to take better care of the MOST PRECIOUS THING IN THE WHOLE WORLD, and it's WORTH IT, for US!"

I'm glad you are self-aware about it! I have dogs, so I totally know what you mean. I recently adopted a new one. I looked at her the day we brought her home and said to my SO, "I don't think she's that cute. But I bet in a few weeks, once I love her, I will." Now it's been a month, and I really do think she's cuter…

"That kiddo is gonna change the world."

Do you think the kinds of parents who ooze on social media about how perfect their precious angels are and how happy they are to have given up their careers for them doth protest too much? IMHO, people who are truly happy with their lives don't brag.

My mom said that kind of stuff to my sister and me all the time we were growing up. She still loved us and raised us, but our relationship is damaged. I moved 3000 miles away and barely speak to her. She told us we ruined her life, so I'm more than happy to absent myself from it now.

I'll have to try that. :)

Because you love peanut butter and pickles, or because you love jars?
