Dang, I have nothing snarky to say about this at all. Good for them.

Oh my god, everything in your comment makes me want to hurl and/or roll my eyes so much I’d go blind.

I’m glad you think so. Other commenters were saying that what I suggested is abusive and retaliatory but kids have to learn that there are consequences to their actions. Stealing is a crime and if she did it to someone other than you, there’d be way worse consequences than getting her privileges revoked. But also,…

You know that a lot of kids don’t have their own room, right? I grew up with one sibling and one parent in a 3 bedroom rambler. We each had our own room. The house behind us with exactly the same size (about 1400 square feet with basement) and layout had 9 children. That’s 11 people in the same space that we only had…

Oh my god, I was just sitting here reading posts with my cat in my lap, which she rarely ever does. And she farted. A really stinky fart too.

As someone said above, stealing money can also be a sign of drug or alcohol addiction. They need to see what she’s up to in her room. I’m not saying they should read her diary. But the money that she stole is what pays for that room and everything in it. She stole from the entire family. $500 is 1/2 to 3/4 of a…

Oh man, we are so similar! I decided in 2011 to quit my job (long story) mostly because it was driving me crazy and I left corporate america mainly for the same reasons you said: same commute, sit in the same cube, meet with the same people, every Monday have the same conversations about how your weekend was, every…

I’ll have to check that one out. I don’t really like Kirsten Dunst and I wouldn’t say that I’m a huge Sofia Coppola fan but I do love historic costume dramas and I’m curious about Argento. I hadn’t heard of her before the whole “thing” came out except that she was dating my boyfriend so . . .

I always tell my clients: DON’T SETTLE. There are plenty of options. You can ask your landlord if you can go month-to-month or have more time. You can find a different month-to-month place or temporary housing. Your realtor should be asking around their brokerage to see if anyone has anything. My brokerage has a lot…

I’ve told this story a few times in comments on here but yeah, I wrote an email on Sunday night saying “I won’t be in tomorrow. Or ever.” Basically it was a take-this-job-and-shove-it kind of thing. As soon as I hit SEND, I bounced around the living room like a . . . something funny that bounces in joy, I have no idea…

I dislocated my shoulder doing this:

If you’re going to violate someone else’s privacy by stealing their hard earned money, you should lose your privacy too. The parents need to be more vigilant about what she’s doing with her free time, especially in this internet age.

Well, no Christmas presents. It’s unfortunate, but now you can’t afford to get her anything. Take the door off her room, no cell phone (if she has one), no electronics, no netflix, no internet of any kind other than what is needed to do homework, etc., etc. She gets nothing but food, clothing and other essentials. She…

Having worked in retail in a lot of different places during the holidays, I can unequivocally say that I hate Black Friday. If the store opens at 5 am, do you know what happens? The crazy shoppers come at 5 am, buy their stuff and are gone by 6. Then all the employees just sit around until the regular store hour…

But what did you do with the butter? That’s the more important point here, I think.

I recently went on a Keto diet (as little carb and sugar as possible with higher fat which still watching calories) and the thing I think I’ll miss the most is Bold Chex Mix. Damn that stuff is addictive.

My asshole dad keeps taking pot shots at my niece about weight. It really fucking pisses me off. She’s 15 and very healthy sized for her age, skinny but not unhealthily so, extremely active and good at sports, she’s just got a bigger bust. For some reason, he sees the need to say subtle little things about it though.…

This is the reason most people’s turkey sucks:

Came here to say exactly this. My grandmother was an excellent cook who made a moist, succulent bird that would make you get on your knees to the almighty even if you were an atheist. The stuffing cooked inside the bird was equally scrummy. My other grandmother was a horrible cook who made dry, crumbly turkey (dry,…
