Those people annoy the crap out of me! They have no clue and won’t listen to a word when you try to have an actual conversation about what it’s like raising kids today. Everyone (every. single. one.) I know my age (early-mid 30's) with kids has “made it work” with significant financial and/or babysitting help from…

We do this for my 3yo and she’s already better with money than some of my adult friends.

Thank you for sharing this. It is nice to know a bit about her as a person, rather than a victim. I expect this was the family’s motivation for making the statement.

Squirrel Girl is the hero we need. Kind, empathetic, and willing to kick ass if the baddie isn’t willing to talk.

Captain Kirk, I wish?

You spelled Pine wrong 😉

Momoa is super meh and gets more and more Meh the more he talks

Notifications have been messed up across Kinja for several days (weeks?) now and it seems to be getting worse.

You haven’t met may republicans have you?

Maybe I just haven’t had enough coffee but.... that doesn’t look like Melania?

I’ve seen several dentist since having mine installed and they have all said I am the only person they have seen one on in their entire careers.

I highly recommend looking into a permanent retainer. They glue a wire on the back of your teeth. It’s annoying to clean around but my teeth are perfect 20 years after my last Ortho appt
