That...is probably not going to solve the “badmouthing mom to daughter” problem. While I admit it’s probably what he deserves, when you have a kid with someone it’s usually good to try and be as kind as possible while still maintaining boundaries.

LW3: do we have the same mom?

1. As the child of a father and mother who tore everyone around them down to try to build themselves up, get him the fuck out of the picture. Period. It does NOT make for a happier child having poison around.

I grew up with parents who were for all intents and purposes divorced but lived together for financial reasons. And they constantly bad mouthed each other to me and my sister. Asking us to pick sides. Having a meal with one while the other is sitting in the living room or in their room unwelcome and feeling like…

My daughter was 4 when her mother told me she had found somebody else and that we were over. We made custody arrangements that we stuck to as we waited out the mandatory 1 year separation, and neither one of us went the badmouthing route. Can’t speak for the ex, but I didn’t because I didn’t want to waste my time with…

Jane is incorrect that there is nothing you can do about the badmouthing of you to your daughter. Some states codify protections against this specific behavior (there is a term for it in the family law world, which escapes me at the moment) because it is extremely harmful to kids. SPEAK UP. Make sure your attorney…

Do not go. Do. Not. Go. DO NOT GO on this alleged vacation. This is all for your mom’s benefit. She is trying to rewrite history, a la ‘well it couldn’t have been so bad if you came on this vacation’. She’s at a point in her life where she realizes she is closer to the end than the beginning. This is her attempt to…

but much worse he talks bad about me to our four year old daughter.

Not judging, although it’s vital to this important conversation, but her ability to “pass” is in and of itself a form of privilege. There’s a very painful history of this in the black community, during slavery and Jim Crow, where “one drop” of black blood could condemn you to a life of servitude or second class…

You know how I know Benji and Cameron are doing marriage right? Because I fucking forgot they were married. Good for them.

I completely forgot that Cameron Diaz was married to Benji Madden. And I’m pretty sure that an hour from now I’ll have forgotten again. I love weird celebrity pairings but especially when they’re not shoving it in my face every two damn seconds.

-Cameron Diaz looks amazing holy shit

Somebody got a photo of him leaving the White House for the last time......

I don’t mean to be a stickler, but he didn’t witness the devastation, didn’t speak with any of the displaced residents or rescue staff. Aside from that, great Tweet! What he did was the equivalent of spending an hour layover in Heathrow and then gushing about your vacation in London.

Guess who Betsy DeVos hired to head a unit that investigates for-profit college fraud? JUST! GUESS! Okay, I’ll tell you: Julian Schmoke, a former official at for-profit college DeVry University, which recently agreed to a $100 million settlement for allegedly defrauding students.

$50 hats and not a fucking second of face time with a single victim.
