And if I say “Jared,” you think “Formerly Fat Subway Jared.”

Just give me the baby and the Steve Buschemi dog and we will all go live happily ever after far the fuck away from these garbage people.

Sorority sisters and their mothers in Alabama and Georgia. See also: french gel nails, spray on tans, ultra white teeth and karate chopped pillows with or without monograms.

Oh please. Find some honest work and quit doing mercenary shit for money. You'd be more honorable selling your own body.

I don’t mean to offend anyone but I always thought it was a wasp thing.

I just checked out the collection on target dot com, and I don’t get it. It’s all tacky-floral old lady resort wear. Who would wear this shit?

You’d be surprised how may hurt feelings that would create. Lots of people equate love with useless crap.

My fiance has two kids from a prior marriage and he said he curtailed some (but certainly not all or even most) of this by saying, “Oh, great, they will be SO excited to have this and donate another toy to charity”. Which is true. That IS what he did with them. They would get something new and then choose another toy…

Along with age inappropriate shit and extremely genderized shit.

This. I don’t tell family what to get (though I love when they ask so I can help them with some suggestions of things he will love) but I have had to very bluntly limit gifts. Little Krispy_tin’s first birthday was no gifts please. Because he was 1 and was really happy with boxes and tissue paper. But for some family…

I was thinking probably brothers/sisters-in-law. I can tell you from personal experience that SILs with baby lust and no baby can get out of hand with newborn gift giving.

As the proud parent of the first, second and third grandchild on both sides, living in an 800 sq. ft house with my husband and I too, I can say that I get it too. There’s not a very nice way to say for the 10th time, “I appreciate that you love the kids too, but 4 hours opening the gifts just from you on Christmas,…

Your points are valid, but as a parent, I can attest to the fact that you are gifted So. Much. Useless. Shit. Particularly from well-meaning older folks. I’d guess that this was directed at Grandparents, Aunts & Uncles, etc. who are so far removed from baby rearing, that they panic and get the first thing they see in…

I buy this, and I think I can see the roots of it here:

I think my 15 year old self wanted to just...do this whenever I forgot or more likely procrastinated too long to complete a homework assignment. I wish I could do this in my adult life, just pretend to suffer a crippling case of "napnesia" and all would be forgiven (and forgotten) regarding the piling deadlines and…

I think my 15 year old self would be pretty damn happy that things really DID get better after high school.

Almost every time I hear someone ask “Do you know who I am?” (especially in a context like this), it makes me think of an old scratch-off lottery commercial where a student is in class and is scratching a scratch-off lottery ticket after he (presumably) finishes a test. He is caught up with scratching (or possibly…

So are children of nursing home residents. I worked in a nursing home as a teenager; my mother is still a nurse at one. She’s told me many stories of residents in dementia wards getting it on with each other— and the only people who are really horrified are the children. “Ick, Mom/Dad is too old for that!” My mom, who…

Nobody wants to think about their parent having sex especially if they are suffering from senility. But many adults are still going to have desires and if someone is married, it’s especially not out of the realm of possible to expect intimacy to happen. Nursing facilities need to be having frank, probably…

Can they prove beyond a reasonable doubt that she was unable to consent?
