Get a cat or dog. Even if it’s not a mouser, the presence of a large animal in the house scares the tiny boarders away.

It's incredibly frustrating to hear people argue that those receiving welfare are lazy— these women were working their asses off, working multiple jobs, juggling day care and getting their kids to services for their needs and often neglecting their own. Women who worked so hard and were offered promotions because they…

And from my mother:

Never be entirely dependent on any one person or situation, ever.

I’m 25 and I’ve also never been to a club, been drunk, or um.... “visited a friend’s cottage.” WTF.

This couldn’t come at a better time, when I’m made to feel guilty for not calling my divorced parents on their respective Parent Days or birthdays or having anything to do with them in general.

My mom is mentally ill, and did a lot of damage to me because she wasn’t treated until she was almost sixty (I’m still not sure she ever got the correct treatment, but whatever). But I find that I’m angrier at the members of my family who knew the things that went on and did absolutely nothing to help me when I was…

Please give me the strength. I’m browsing Jezebel from the bathroom I’m pretending to need to use while avoiding A Required Family Event.

I did this with my mother. She was a classic narcissistic personality, with all the fun gas-lighting and verbal / emotional abuse. She would say terrible things, deny saying terrible things, freeze me out for a while, and then come back for more. It was a vicious, vicious cycle, and at 34, I still struggle with…

thank you <3 This is a really bummer time. It’s good to know I’m not alone. If I have to hear ONE more “..But she’s your mother!” I’m going to throw things.

My mother is an alcoholic, compulsive-spender-hoarder narcissist. I finally went no contact with her last year and this will be my first mother’s day not acknowledging her. It’s tough because there is always an innate desire to please, to be a good person to your mother. But when it just gets thrown in your face and…

Hey Jezzies.

Why : Obviously, it's free and many are downloadable to your listen device of your choice. Granted it's not as seamless like Audible but when it's free you might have to deal with very minor inconveniences. You also don't need to "return" the audiobook since it will expire once your allotted time is up. If there…

These might get me reading Romance again.

I knew this guy in high school who sounds very much like the first guy but with a major difference so I'll just report my findings.

Good for her to share this personal information that people will tear her to shreds for! I can't wait for the day when a serious political candidate in the US can say, "Yeah, I had an abortion. Not for medical reasons; I just didn't want a kid" and it's treated as a non-issue.

Frequent reader, first time commenter. Fat guy.

I knew pretty early in my young adulthood that I didn't want kids. Everyone told me I would change my mind when I got older. I'm 30 now and my mind is still pretty anti-children. Everyone still keeps telling me I'll change my mind when I "find the right man". I don't think so.
