Excuse me while I go vomit, then mop it up with the ripped-out pages of the only John Grisham paperback we own.

I have been checking that site every day, and if I could lower my fine-ass self to sending emojis, you would be receiving a communal sad face we could share.
Attention, management: I would read Shade Court every freakin' day.
No, you're not alone, and I'll bet the troll who called you that is nasty as hell. (Inside, where it really counts.)
NO ONE! That's who. The first thing my friends who were moms told me when I got pregnant was to pitch most of the child-rearing books I was devouring, and instead talk to older women whose adult kids were decent, hard-working people. Best advice I ever got.
I have a very full life outside of my children and family, thank God! I would go insane if I didn't.
To practice the amount of self-control, kindness and decency that you do in that situation, I think your kids are very lucky to have a mom like you.
For well-adjusted women who leave careers and stay home to raise children, feeling superior to other women doesn't even enter into the equation. It's a personal decision. Plenty work part-time; some go back to work when the kids are older. Some volunteer in ways they wanted to but couldn't when they had a full-time…
My guess: a close-up of tartar from someone's teeth?
One of the few good things I will say about Kinja is that it automatically creates a blog platform for each of its users when they join. The topic of male and child domestic abuse victims is obviously very close to your heart. That seems a far more productive channel for your advocacy than taking an excellent writer…
First, I am so sorry this is happening and you are to be commended for trying to help her. I went through this with a very close relative. She assures me she is married "to the love of my life." Helping someone who thinks your help is unnecessary, especially in an in-law situation, has to be agonizing, and I know it's…
My younger son was born on 9/11. It's the only world he's ever known.
Aside from the crass nastiness of the trolls who haunt Jezebel with their worse-than-useless, vile, insensitive comments, I think most posters find this video absolutely horrifying. I know I do. This is domestic abuse, and that woman should be in jail.
Some encouragement for any mom who has been shamed by a smug breast-feeding fanatic (not Tracey.) My father was born to two loving parents in the Appalachian mountains. They had no running water, no electricity and no supermarket. His mother could not breast feed. Until he could eat solid food, he was fed nothing but…
Rock on, Adultosaur!
"Jack Sparrow" for the win! :)
You shouldn't feel bad. I've seen (or heard) everything Lonely Island has ever done and most of it is hilarious. I don't think the guys in LI would tell you they are great rappers. They are great comedians. It's the juvenile humor + the dead-earnest delivery that kills me.
Adultosaur! I thought you were a dude! (And if you are, that's fine, too.)
As long as the house is left like you found it (except it now has beautiful wrought iron in it,) you're golden!
This is the BEST. ADVICE. EVER. POSTED.
