Wow, that is so nice of you! When kid friendly weddings really embrace the kid part it can be so fun and adorable. My friend just had a wedding on his family farm and the kids had like, the best day of their entire lives. They had tours to see the basset hound puppies his family raises, they got to look for tadpoles…

I would always assume kids aren’t invited unless your kids or kids in general are specifically mentioned in the invitation? But maybe that’s just me. I have no idea what the norm is.

Eh, I’m sad about the trajectory her career has taken. (Though I’m sure she’s not because she’s freakin’ rich and also seems happy!) But anyway, selfishly, I looooooved her book from long ago, the Last American Man and think she’s a fantastic writer. I’m just pretty bored or irritated by her subject matter since then.

Her boyfriend (my ex), showed up at my work a few days later, tore the note up in my face and threw it at me.

Oh my god, YES. It’s maddening.

Holy shit that photo is so amazing and beautiful!

Do not ghost! It’s honestly cruel and it leaves things unfinished. I had to end a friendship that had become unbearable (she was dating my ex, at which point she became unnecessarily competitive and mean) and I couldn’t even stand to look at her, but I sucked it up and tried a face to face convo. That didn’t work and…

Ugh, people STOP GHOSTING. If you’re in an actual relationship that is. If you went on three dates and decided it wasn’t working, fine. But if you’re like, exclusive and serious, deciding to “ghost” makes you a monster. My poor sweet friend was ghosted by his fiance. It was one of the saddest things I’ve ever heard.…

Thank you, that’s such an important perspective and I’m sorry that happened to your dad. I can’t understand why this particular generation demands 0% risk when there’s no such thing! There’s significant risk you’ll get in a car accident but people drive every day. There’s risk with every single surgery, no matter how…

Holy shit WHAT???

Guys, I CANNOT BE CRYING THIS MUCH AT WORK TODAY.

I swear “the Watcher” is a person who used to own this house and had to sell it or got foreclosed on or what. I would bet $100 (NOT REALLY, PLEASE DON’T TAKE MY MONEY) that that’s the case.

No, YOU ARE!

Staring into your lap is a solid move. My dear friend starred in an incredibly good horror movie and I stared at my kneecap for the entirety of the third act. I think that still technically counts as being a supportive friend and “watching” the movie, right?

Whoa, that’s intense!

I was terrified by that in my own home at some point, don’t worry! ;)

Oh my god, I would have DIED. I mean I probably would have literally died. I was an easily terrified kid. I ran out of the theater (not just the specific movie theater, but the ENTIRE theater building and into the parking lot!) during a screening of... An American Tail. I mean there was a cat that was kind of scary!…

Well, thanks glorious, drool inducing photo, now I just want brownies.

I also think spacing them out more helps, especially if you’re older. A toddler and a newborn is ALWAYS going to be hard. (Yes, easier of course, in your 20’s, but never great.) My parents actually divorced because of the stresses of having 16 month apart babies, the younger of whom (my little brother) was very sickly…

THANK YOU. This is one of my pet peeves. A coworker of mine launched into like, a 10 minute, LOUD rant about how time consuming his (one) child is. I finally was like... but you chose this right? You had to realize that raising a person from infancy to adulthood would be a time commitment, yes? It’s insane. I’m…
