It is entirely possible to care for the child one is responsible for in a caring and respectful manner. One can still have rules without resorting to violence.

Any type of spanking is hitting.

Meryl Streep is simply the best.

My partner and our roommates and I are waiting until everyone is back in town to have “Roomie Christmas” and exchange gifts. Twice now, my partner has mentioned out of the blue that he hasn’t gotten me anything special. I don’t know if this is because I gave him a really nice engraved watch and he feels guilty or if…

My partner quit smoking in September and started vaping. He says its not exactly a replacement, but it does fulfill a certain something (maybe the oral fixation?). I have to say it smells a hell of a lot better than the cigarettes did.

OMG you are a Chrismahannukwanzakuh miracle. Thank you for this. I cannot put into words how much it means to me.

HELP Jezzies. If any of you are at all fashion aware (I am not, mostly) and up on trends, I NEED you. I fell in love with a cardigan that Sharon Horgan wears on Catastrophe, and I can’t find it anywhere. I’m afraid it might be vintage and one of a kind. If you have any knowledge of it at all, please do tell.

Honestly, even if you have searched high and low he could still be somewhere. I was cat sitting one time and the cat disappeared. I searched EVERYWHERE in the apartment and was practically in tears because I thought I had accidentally let my friends cat out, but she was in the cupboard above the fridge. The cat could…

POOP. I’m so late to this party, and of course when I have something to talk about! I’m gonna throw it out there anyway. I just discovered Catastrophe on Amazon and Sharon Horgan is amazing. There is this sweater she wears on the show that is simply epic and I’ve done some searching but to no avail. Any ideas as to…

Love this. My friend took her baby on tour this past year and she hired a friend as a nanny to come along so she had child care taken care of, but it’s that same idea of being inclusive with living your life and not keeping your children and family separate from that. I also have friends who travel ALL over the place…

He doesn’t have a clue. Not one single FUCKING clue. I’m going to go scream into a pillow for a bit.

Ugh.

Same. I was furious when the news came out that he would be representing himself. The families of the victims have suffered enough without having to be potentially addressed by the man who murdered their loved ones. That being said, I was also curious to see how he handled it.

I feel like the whole Paul storyline could have been left out entirely. What purpose did it serve? But I disagree on Paris. Addressing infertility and helping families have children - especially since surrogacy is often a way for gay couples to have children- is hardly a paltry undertaking. I also did not buy that…

We need something to carry us into Season 2!

Oh dear. I came here specifically to say how much I loved Emily’s storyline. Especially the move to Nantucket and the bit at the museum where she pantomimes slaughtering a whale.

Same! I also loved seeing people from Bunheads pop up.

My mom’s oldest sister is the same way, and my mom normally bears the brunt of her picks and jabs but this year she included me (sweet of her). She and my uncle arrived half an hour early and I was putting the finishing touches on a pie I made, but she thrust a plate of mini quiche into my hand saying “Hello. Warm…

So did we!! Well, I watched it and my mom sort of watched it but was coming and going doing things around the house and would inevitably ask questions about what was going on until I was like just sit down and have a glass of wine and watch!! She does the same thing every time I watch anything :) What did you think of…

I literally went to an Ulta Beauty Supply the day after the election and bought some Urban Decay highlighter that is sparkly. I told the woman helping me “It needs to sparkle. It needs to be more SPARKLY” because I needed something to fucking brighten things up. And it helps, a bit.
