Just call it what it is: An allowance. An allowance for doing chores. That’s some fucked up power dynamic if a married, adult couple wants to treat each other like that.

On the one hand, recognizing that the work a SAHM does benefits the family and is worthy of remuneration: I can see how this could arguably be a good thing, in a step-in-the-right-direction way.

There is also a fake trend bonus at the New York Times.

My favorite part is how so much of the media just plays along with the narrative Goodell wants. Goodell is “tough” on those who “disrespect the integrity of the game,” rather than a grandiose figurehead who dishes out punishments arbitrarily in whatever way he thinks will best satisfy the majority of the public.

There’s risks in anything you do. I used to walk/bike to school at a very young age with no problems. I could have easily been kidnapped or whatever. You can be super protective I guess, but at what point do you draw the line. I get extremely annoyed when I see parents drive their kids to the end of the driveway and

Another thing is the zero tolerance groups want to conflate child deaths because of being FORGOTTEN in the car for say a whole work day , and the act of INTENTIONALLY leaving a child for 5-15 mins.

When they get caught, the nerd’s lives get ruined for cheating and the jock has his part swept under the rug and goes to college on a scholarship. Then he wins several Superbowls and gets to have sex with a Brazilian Supermodel.

This stuff really sounds like dialogue some guy would be speaking into a payphone in the last 20 minutes of a bad mob movie.

Thank you for your call, Tommy from Quincy!

I fucking love that Tom Brady is hated by the people that actually know him, just as much as I hate him.

I wish this blog had been around when I started planning my wedding last year. I now wish I didn't have a wedding party. I think I'm a pretty chill bride but GOD get your shit together, bridesmaids. I have one who opts out of everything before there's even a date put to it. "Can't come to whatever weekend we plan for

Well, the cast has spoiled SNL for the past 15 years, so there is that.

I was with a bunch of moms a couple months back and we were all talking about our kids who are 10-12 years old and the talk turned to puberty and crushes and worries about peer pressure and such all the moms, self included, talked about trust and how we all realized that kids make mistakes and it’’s really important

I knew all about these teen tricks because I USED TO BE A TEEN.

Yeah, I am confused. I get what the CLARE people are trying to do, kind of, and I agree (although the parents mostly sound like idiots who probably didn’t learn anything from it). But... do these parents just not remember being a teen? Were they completely sheltered? I never partied as a teen (hello, social anxiety),

No offense, Leslie, but I’m pretty sure you’re on NPH’s unfuckable list, too.

Awesome, THIS person.
