If Kelly Ripa was already in the Caribbean with her family, had been isolated long enough to know that they weren’t infected, and has practiced safe measures while down there, I can’t say that I blame her for not boarding a plane and returning to the COVID epicenter when all hell broke loose. Understandably, this is…

Seriously. Especially right now, a certain level of regression is expected in kids, and 5-year-olds are still sometimes figuring out potty training - it’s more common at night and with boys, but this is definitely not something that gossip columnists need to be concerned about.

I work in a school for kids with complex social, emotional and mental health needs. They struggle to settle after a planned one week holiday, let alone a surprise six-month break. We are hyper aware of the trauma this is inflicting, and are making huge plans to try and help them process, heal and readjust when we’re…

Frrgggghh, job hunting is horrific even in normal times — sending virtual pompoms and hugs for this shitty slog for you. A coworker sent me a job description (I didn’t realize it was 5 months old so basically not valid) at a local huge institution that is keeping+paying all their people right now (whether they’re…

I empathize 100%. I do enjoy cooking, but doing it all the time is exhausting. And I’m not ashamed to heat up a frozen pizza and call it a day, but I bought mostly healthy stuff last time I shopped, so it’s endless cooking from scratch. Next time we get groceries, it’s going to be so many boxes of chicken nuggets and…

Hugs from a total stranger. Applying for jobs is stressful and anxiety-producing in the best of times. Keep on....something will work out. 

my preschooler had a zoom meeting with her preschool friends and she was so excited, and got all dressed up and was really into it and then halfway through she just... ran away. She wouldn't go back on for anything. We never got her to explain why (except she didn't like taking turns to talk) but I think she got upset…

I'm a teacher. The emotional support is definitely on our radar.

I don’t get the blanket outrage for people being landlords. Are they good landlords? Do they take care of the property? Do they offer reasonable rental rates comparable to similar properties? Do they keep rent increases limited? Then what’s the problem with making an investment that provides a decent place to live?…

My niece rents from a landlord who is property rich and has a limited income. He has told her he’s sorry she and her husband have both been laid off however the rent is still due.

I’m not sure if Joan is attempting to be an agent provocateur or if she truly believes it’s wrong for anyone to own property and charge rent. Nevertheless, I don’t think we can all agree that accumulating rental profit from the wages of people likely making far, far less than you is at best a tad questionable.

I have no issues with Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard owning a building and I think they’re being really good landlords by not charging rent for April. It’s decent and I wish my apartment complex would do the same.

She also kept reiterating that she doesn’t want her son “to change,” which is exactly like saying she doesn’t want him to grow, which seems like a strange way to parent your adult son.

I agree with everything you said except how his ex “barely said anything negative at all.” Ariana talked about his sexual organ openly & constantly & publicly in a joking way, and thinking that he should be grateful & happy about that because he’s a guy is another kind of sexism, really. I’d be mortified and…

This is why, when my 9 yo daughter asks me if a skirt is "ok" for school, I remind her that school dress codes are sexist, patriarchal bullshit, and that all her clothing is ok for school because I bought it and it goes on her body therefore ok.  I imagine these are things she'll discuss with her therapist someday -…

Harry is still a prince, and in fact is still in the line of succession. He only agreed to stop using the title (and HRH) publicly/for gain.

Here is Lisa Rinna walking in a fashion show with her two daughters, radiating the energy of a mom who tells cashiers “I’m actually their sister!”

Wait... an organization for marlins decided to advertise with “white lives matter” and “blue lives matter?” It sounds more to me like some right wing troll wanted to find some sham front to use those two anti-BLM phrases and just asked themselves “hmmm, what’s white and blue?” Honestly, it was probably a 50-50 shot…

I think every heterosexual woman has been in at least one relationship with the guy who had to be the smart/talented/funny one in the relationship, and she was demoted to “biggest fan”.  *raises hand*

“He was so clever and treated conversation like a friendly competition that he had to win,”
