Oof, yeah, I didn't even notice that! At 18-19 a lot of kids are in college, which basically means they're finally off their parents' radar. Good catch!

Bless his little heart, he said so matter-of-factly "Do you want to go first or do you want me to go first?"

Let me top that off with an "eyeroll." You're welcome!

Yeah, the comments (once I decided it was a great idea to read them) are just abysmal. On the other hand, it's probably useful to remember that those people exist. :\

Meh, I don't really have a problem with it. The photos ARE pretty funny. Most of them are "look at this nice photo of two friends, and that poor sack in the background is about to throw up on them."

This whole article made me cringe! Is there a copy editor in the house?

Re-reading, I didn't word this very well; that's exactly what I mean. I really like that in this family (or, at least, in the previews) there isn't a hint of shaming this girl for being pregnant. But I can think of MANY manymanymany people who would prefer that her mother give a raised-eyebrow "WELL, I guess she'll…

... I am totally guilty of not turning off the TV for Hoarders OR Storage Wars (but only for Barry). And, true to my roots, I am ashamed of myself for it.

Aaaahhhh, I'd never considered that!! I am so unfamiliar with that trend that I never even considered the Lazy Pride angle (which, uh, seems like it should've been obvious to me). Uggh, "racism chic," those are two words I never want to consider again.

Man, I'm totally the opposite! I dated mostly big dudes when I was in college and didn't know how to manage my stress effectively, and had more self esteem issues. I've had a strange (to me) trend of dating crazy-attractive lean dudes for the past four years (they all exercise, it's weird!), and while I finally feel…

This family makes me wanna throw up a little bit, but I'd much rather TLC share a whole slew of (mostly female, even!) relatives who COMPLETELY accept themselves the way they are, than a haughty group of self-shaming upper-middle class folk. Aside from the gross jokes, it's refreshing.

I must say, I'm utterly disappointed in the lack of "Master Bates" jokes in this article.

Thank you! I'm agnostic and spend most of my career researching lesbians (close enough, I guess?). My first instinct when someone says "I'm Christian" is to flee. But these seem like decent people who love each other. It's actually kind of heartwarming. The hate being flung at them makes my head hurt.

Thank you. I'm always a disappointed when a news outlet/organization/individual creates the illusion that they're open-minded and sensitive (particularly toward women), when in reality they're only open-minded toward people (women) they can relate to. This woman is 45 and has a basketful of toddlers and infants, with…

Haha, awww thanks. :)

God, could you imagine being one of those models? I for one would have to swallow a package of Gas-X beforehand.

Aw man, I got my hopes up when I went to check out the dating site; I assumed people were donating money to charity in order to get a date with someone... not PAYING WOMEN to go out on dates!

"Ostensibly, that idiot opus was penned by Carole Lokan-Moore, proprietor of the place and, from the sound of it, New Jersey's angriest and most reality-challenged closeted lesbian."

Aw, thanks! I'll take off-topic compliments. ;)
