PREACH. So many of my friends seem to make their mothering decisions based entirely on a mix of guilt and fear and not based on what they want/think is best for the kid. I have not had that problem so far, which leads to awkward conversations like:

Sort of related to this, Elisabeth Badinter published an article a while back about how these new types of helicopter/attachment/earth mama parenting - but particularly motherhood - are undoing the advances we've achieved in the last 50 years and basically holding women back but more perversely, through guilt and the…

Children who are raised to believe that they are the center of the universe have a tough time when their special status erodes as they approach adulthood. Most troubling of all, couples who live entirely child-centric lives can lose touch with one another to the point where they have nothing left to say to one another…

In the end zone?

it was on the sideline not in the end zone during the game.

Oh sure the NFL makes a big show of breast cancer awareness but the minute someone gives a fig about men's health it's a 15 yard penalty.

Put big enough brakes and wide/sticky enough tires and any car can "handle". At >2 tons, it's still inefficient as F—- but, hey, 'Murica.

To be able to relate, have a decently equal power balance, and not end up widows?

The mere THOUGHT of dating a 22 year old annoys me.

If you replaced her with a male, what would your reaction be? Would you be as aggrieved? I doubt it. Because that is 100% true, your whole equality stance is bullshit.

Depends on your sense of humor. For me, the outright slaughter of my entire family, all those who bear my last name, has the ability to be a funny joke. What's off limits for you is probably not off limits for me.

Worst name for a room ever.

"Because Texas"? I'm not following what that means. Every other state in the Union would go ahead and convict a guy where the jury is sympathetic and there is hardly any evidence?

Noooo! Run, Malala, run! She's too nice for her own good, giving that little shit some of her time, and now he's name dropping her in an attempt to make himself look like less of a little shit. God, he's a smarmy little shit.

Puberty's tough

I love that girl, but what ball player wouldn't have at least a comfortable, plush couch, if not a second bedroom? First time together, he asks to fuck, she says no, yet sleeps in the same bed with a relative stranger. Not a smart move.

It wasn't Carmelo. He wouldn't even pass gas.

There is a saying in germany about laying off people:
