If I ever do have kids, I certainly hope that is the case. I’ve had some great examples in my life from which to learn. In the meantime I’ll stick to mothering the shit out of my friends who need it.

The worst thing my mother has ever done to me is refuse to speak to me for 4 days after the 2012 election (she’s a tea partier, I’m her terrible liberal/socialist/Commie daughter.) I truly, truly can not imagine what it would be like to have serious mom problems. Major props to all of you that have gone through this.

When I was 17 I had plenty of parental supervision, worked and went to school, got accepted (and graduated) from one of the best universities in the country and sometimes I got high as fuck. BECAUSE I WAS 17!

My boyfriend had to break up with his awful, toxic parents a couple years ago, and my excellent mother died almost four years ago. We mostly just, like, drink mimosas on Mother’s Day. I will probably ask my cats to get me some flowers.

Kylie Jenner is a teenager, with little to no parental supervision who doesn’t work or go to school and is dating a 25 year old rapper who has a song out called “Bitches and Marijuana”. I imagine she is high all the time.

I have nothing but love and good vibes for all of you who have toxic mothers. I feel so unbelievably lucky to have great parents, but as I was growing up so many kids I knew had toxic and/or abusive parents. So many of them would come to our house in the afternoons and weekends to get a snack and some sympathy from my…

Hey Jezzies.

Yup.

Every full moon, a little rabbit goes out into the garden and leaves a precious bundle of baby in exchange for some carrots. She leaves it under a little rock. In the morning, if the mommy wants to get pregnant, she holds the daddy’s hand and they go together to the rock, pull it up, and pick out their kid together.…

This sounds... surprisingly reasonable and not exploitive at all. I mean, the kid seems to have fun with it, the mother isn’t forcing her or going full on stage mom and they’re putting her earnings into an account for college. I mean, I almost feel bad for being pleasantly surprised.

I really hope HE gets the help he needs to get out of that relationship.

Next, we’ll be hearing a strong take from Fiona Apple on saving more than you spend.

Could just be an asshole. I have mental issues but would never occur to me to do that

Does this also mean that Determined Baby isn’t Patton Oswalt?

Finally someone has put in to perfect and descriptive writing what I’ve felt about Lily/ her awkward half sister Vera Bradley for YEARS.
