Seems like a good way to weed people out!

Oh, I don't disagree. More diversity would be nice.

That doesn't surprise me.

Damn. That really is a cute baby.

I agree. I think teaching about masturbation in sex-ed, in general, is a REALLY good idea. If you teach kids that only another person can take care of them sexually, it seems like they'd be more likely to just jump into bed with the first person who asks, rather than waiting until they're emotionally and mentally…

That's one of the things that made me give up on the show several cast members ago, too. That, and it seems like nobody ever gets to finish a thought. Everyone's too busy trying to talk over each other. It frustrates me to watch.

"Sources" often like to turn things into catfights whenever two women disagree on something and actually show some emotional investment in the topic. So, I agree—it probably wasn't "nasty" at all.

She DID? That's great!

I was just going to pipe up with a Groupon joke, but there you are with it :P

This is the only one that struck me, at least from this blurb, as a really good idea.

I wonder if it was harder for the producers to find find black parents who do weird parenting crap, so they took the first family who came along that could be described as "extreme".

Right? Some of these set off some yellow flags for me, but that one was red flag, all the way.

I was almost on board when you said the part about praising the things they work for, because I do think focusing more on things kids *do* than things they *are* can be helpful. But then I got to the rest and...nope. I agree with you, they are probably doing more harm than good at this point.

I would probably be that same parent. *high five*

I mentioned this, too. It's been floating around for a good decade or more.

Actually, "butthurt" has been around for a good ten or fifteen years. It's only been recently that I've seen more people saying it. It means being offended (or "offended") in a dramatic, childish, disproportionate way over something fairly insignificant.

Maybe that's what she was hoping for.

I agree. I just had bridesmaids and skipped the weird hierarchy.

I agree. And I don't even think her criteria are that unreasonable, because what it comes down to is that she's not inviting people she isn't close to and/or has a very one-sided friendship with—that is, people she wouldn't expect to care much about her wedding.
