My parents finally started texting but my Dad still starts every text with, “Hey, it’s Dad” and my Mom finishes every text with, “Love, Mom” I find it hilarious/adorable.

She’s a classic brilliant nerd. Plans her thoughts with educated ideas and the American people snore. It hurts my brain and my soul.

I read/heard somewhere that once the parents agreed to set it up for the network and made the kids think it was Christmas morning so they could film before actual Christmas and then later dropped it on the kids that this wasn’t really Christmas and Santa didn’t actually come and they all cried. I’m anxiously awaiting…

Except in this case the lady is a third generation French citizen.

Right!? I remember in University the frat my girlfriends and I used to party at always designated a “drunk girl room” and a couple of guys would be charged with chilling outside the door to keep the ladies safe if they were passed out or needed water or whatever. There were always several members who opted for that…

I’m so glad to hear that! Last year in my daughter’s elementary school a 6 year old girl was sexually assaulted by a 7th grade boy and the principal had the nerve to say to her parents (we know because we’re good friends with them), “I can see how you would be upset, however she did seem to be enjoying the attention…

I think this will be what really shuts up the people who think she’s out for a payday.

Yeah my vegetarian friends are like that too. Kids are hard to feed so they make them a much more varied diet and let them figure out their food preferences on their own.

What he also needs is someone to offer him a judgement free living wage job! My Father owns a successful construction firm and I grew up surrounded by all sorts of unsavory criminal characters who are now decent hardworking members of society. What these people need is good paying work and someone who is willing to…

Thank you! I used to have the same mentality about “criminals” until I found out that two of my best and most “respectable” (nice neighborhoods, good husbands etc) stay at home Mom friends couldn’t volunteer at the school because they shoplifted when they were 18 and thus had criminal records. This shit follows people!

Mine too!

I’m a stay at home Mom/wife and I’m constantly being asked, “So when are you going to get a job?” I get pretty pissed off and usually snap things like, “Do you mean a second full time job!?” Or, “Are you offering to pay the 2 thousand a month for daycare?” Even going back to work outside the home after my kids start…

I was just about to tell the same story! My Grandparents practically raised my sister and I. They gave my parents a down payment for their first house after letting them live in their basement suite for free for as long as they needed which put them in a position to invest money and accumulate a decent level of…

I was just about to say that. Parents not allowed in the gym? NOPE!

My father in law has to use a portable dialysis machine every 6 hours (I believe it’s 6 but not certain) if he was left on the tarmac like that he would die.

Totally agree with you! Although I’m ashamed to say I actually liked the Hunger Games movies. But at least the whole time my husband and I had “wtf am I watching!?” faces and seriously judge anyone who lets their younger kids see them.

Hahaha! You are my parenting hero.

I love this! Can we add, “If someone only wants plain tea don’t try to sneak cream or sugar into it”?

That reminds me of my high school’s travel club trip to Greece (I wasn’t allowed to go which in retrospect was probably a wise decision by my Mom). A girl in the previous class was sexually assaulted and was told to suck it up and get over it because she was going to ruin everyone else’s vacation with her dramatics. I…

This is awesome. I really thought I was the only one who was raised actively discouraging anything Disney. My childhood was full of hippy whole foods and organic before it was cool. We never had a TV in the house and certainly no access to anything as mainstream as Disney to cloud our brains and disrupt our potential.…
