I know what you’re saying, and you obviously have good intentions. :) but sometimes we have to do just as Ansari did last night, show support but step aside when the spotlight needs to be on those who fight the fight.

Can we add LGBTQ+ allies?

As an ally, let’s let the LGBTQ+ people have their capes on this one. Allies don’t always need awards.

Maybe it’s not always about the allies?

I’m enjoying laughing at Kevin Hart’s distress while not giving a single fuck if he’s faithful or lying about it or whatever.

I’m so happy for Reese and Nicole and the Big Little Lies team. It was an excellent series!

I’m so thrilled that BLL cleaned up. That series was just absolutely riveting.

I see what you did there.

She could pay for a babysitter for sister in law.

Another option would be to spring for a babysitter and tickets to Bounce Land or Chuck E Cheese for all the kids, and guilt her into accepting the gift. She’ll know it’ll make her look like a total asshole if she still brings her kids to the wedding (thereby refusing a nice gesture), and it will make the letter writer…

That’s what I was going to suggest. Hire a sitter to stay in the hotel (or wherever) with the kids.

Can’t they hire a just in case babysitter to take the kids as a contingency plan here? I mean, I know it doesn’t solve the assholery of the sister in law, but it could save the day?

Howard Taft really got the short end of the stick history-wise. He was an incredibly intelligent, diligent, and ethical man who only really ever wanted to be a judge (but his wife and Teddy Roosevelt wanted bigger things for him, hence running for president). He’s also the only person to have lead two branches of the…

Am I the only one who read the first letter and was a little alarmed by the fact that nothing is said about how his or his girlfriend feels about the situation? This is her sister, her nieces/nephews and her wedding, yet after reading the letter three times I can’t find anything that says (or doesn’t say!) that she’d…

If LW1 wants to be a saint, they could also offer to hire a sitter for the children. If Pam says no, then it’s a lot easier to disinvite without incurring any family wrath for not including her.

I generally agree, but I find it rather strange that the letter never once mentions how his/her fiancée feels about this situation considering that this is her sister. We know the LW feels the sister is a user and a nightmare and would rather she not come at all if she insists on bringing her children with her, but…

The best advice my mother ever gave me was to never marry a person with a shit family. Do you know what I’d be dealing with for the rest of my life? Or until every one of them/I dies? Their shit family. And you know what else happens as time progresses? EVERYTHING GETS WORSE. The parents get dementia. The sister gets…

rapidly devolves into a violent nightmare of cannibalism, cultism, and genocide, gruesomely parodying the narrative of Christianity, from Genesis to the gospels.
