It’s also crazy when the parent is a little brown and their kid looks white. My bestie gets mistaken for the nanny ALL. THE. TIME. And people talk down to her because they think she doesn’t understand English (she’s a lawyer)

THIS.

You can fly with a child that is not yours...not sure why people think you can’t. Kids go on vacation-and get there by plane-with grandparents and other relatives all the time. You should have a letter from the parent that states you are the temp guardian anyway, not just for the plane ride.

She was not married at the time of her son’s birth, and he took his fathers last name, not hers (yeah, um, don’t ask)

Other people benefited from those Miramax movies besides Weinstein.

If companies would stop making cashiers upsell credit cards (thinking about Target) and just ring, I’d much rather ‘interact’ with them than do the self scan.

I don’t like ice hitting my teeth. So, straw.

Why do you have to give up straws? Too much air?

I strongly disagree with letting other folks “parent” your child. Having a dependable support system is great, but at the end of the day, YOU are the parent, there is no 2nd, 3rd, fourth, fifth...Leaving your child in the care of other people doesn’t mean they are parenting them, and letting those people be ‘auntie’,…

Yep. I care more about my kid’s immediate health than landfills and oceans. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Honestly, if I find a cup with old milk....i just throw it out.

Same. I put food in bowls that you don’t need in a bowl. Much easier to eat.

What interest free store card do you have?

Recommendations aren’t mandates.

Eh, payment plans force you to pay immediately. Loans allow people to wait and that’s where the problem is.

My very middle class parents did this for part of my tution that wasn’t covered by grants for my first 2 years...the total was around $4000, so the monthly cost was a few hundred. The numbers given in the example aren’t hard figures, so this hack can be accessible to more folks than you think.

I’ve seen coupons for a free first time car seat ride for Uber. Can’t hurt to look.

Ah, the key thing was what I was missing. I’ve only worked in smaller scale retail chains, and you could unlock the door without a key. Save one asshole, all my managers were cool and wanted to leave just as much as you did. Plus we were always scheduled for half and hour to 45 minutes after closing—any other way is…

It definitely does. I wonder what opportunities look like for women at that guy’s workplace.

Free delivery seems like a huge perk for people who either don’t have a car or have a very small one but plan to buy a lot.
