Ohhh the indigestion- Grr!Arrgh! indeed!! (Also I’m on my zillionth rewatch of BTVS, and I miss the GrrArrgh with Hulu’s auto play feature!)

Now that I think back, I can’t remember if she ever actually hits bear, but she definitely is physically aggressive, which he was picking up on, so we stopped it. Sarah and Duck is really cute and not at all violent. We really liked Ni hao, Kao Lan, but our son lost interest in that one.

I don’t think I said that, but you’re right - it’s all stupid hard.

We had to stop watching Masha and the bear bc Masha is a little jerk to bear and our son started mimicking it at daycare, smacking people and laughing hysterically... he still does it sometimes, but at least i don’t have to watch that stupid show. He’s now obsessed with “Sarah and Duck” and “Super Why” (super…

The anti-choice garbage people who make women carry unwanted babies to term can die in a fire. I’m pregnant right now and it’s FUCKING HARD, you assholes. This baby and his older brother were both planned, and it’s still so, so hard to be a mother. I looked at my husband the other day when our 2 year old was having a…

That’s why I love “Let me google that for you” https://lmgtfy.com/

I thought more people would see it as a self-serving pat on the back (Look at meeee! I’m so much better now!) than an honest response. I was pleasantly surprised by the support.

I had a lot of positive behavior modeled by wonderful people, so just keep being your wonderful self and someone, somewhere will likely notice, even if they never tell you. *Internet hugs!*

I wrote another response to razjm that’s hiding in the grays, but it happened over time, in fits and starts. If I had to pinpoint the firs time my perspective started to shift I’d say it was in high school when I dated someone from a different social group and socioeconomic background. Then some more when I got to…

I don’t really know what the proverbial straw was... I don’t think it was any one thing. The first step was dating a guy from a different social group in HS who challenged a lot of my assumptions (it was very 80s romcom-like: he was punk rock and I was a spoiled brat).

Apparently not!

You have a very valid point about the election. Im pretty sure my cousin, who hasn’t changed any of her views since HS (and has become even more religious and moved to Florida) voted for Trump, and she loves the Ellen show. <<crying emoji>>

This won’t be a popular opinion, but I have to be honest. Maybe it’s not cognitive dissonance? Maybe they just changed? People can change - thank the gods.

I watched the first two episodes with my husband last night, and when I asked him what he thought of it, he said, “it was pretty fucked up, but the world is pretty fucked up right now, so...??” He’s a keeper!

This! It’s like that time the husband of a casual friend said to me, “if I weren’t married I tear you up!” I was like, “woah woah woah, (a) I’m friends with your wife, so gross, and (b) I have a choice - and I choose anyone but you.”

She was the youngest daughter in Big Love and has some new tv show on Free Form that they always advertise on Hulu.

Especially in light of our current commander-in-chief and the guy who just won the oscar for best actor

About which one? That it wasn’t too soon when he did it? Or that she to blame for her actions and he’s not for his?

I can’t believe nobody has commented on Shay’s complete inability to take any responsibility for his actions. After admitting to having a sexting relationship with another woman *while they were married*, he accused her of starting a new relationship too quickly. Not to mention that he said it was her fault that she…

Says the commenter who decided a woman deserved to be cheated on for having a nickname. Sounds like you need a swift kick in the ass.
