Also: I think literally Every. Single. Person. on the PLANET can claim the same thing if they go back far enough. So, um, welcome to average, douchenozzle.

Especially as he focused the discussion on what single mothers are doing wrong, instead of singling out all the fathers who apparently can't be bothered to be involved in raising their own kids. It takes two to tango, George Will - why all the blame on single mothers, hmmm? They're the ones actually putting in the…

I'm puzzled that the Breaking Bad fandom seems to have collectively forgotten that Walt raped Skylar and kept her trapped in the marriage against her will. She has made the best of an absolute clusterfuck of a situation. And for those who would say they hate her because she is controlling, keep in mind that every…

On my son's first full day of kindergarten I went to pick him up and he said, "You left me here for ten years!"

I just logged on to tell you that you brought me to TEARS with that comment. It was very hard to stay silent in my cubicle!

I just had my first baby at 27, and I'm a lot happier with my body now than I was in younger years not because I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight, (I'm not), but because I've realized I have greater things to contribute to the world than my physical beauty and I just don't care that much anymore about how I look in a…

What I don't get AT ALL is that there are some who absolutely cannot imagine a situation that isn't exactly what they went through and if they got through it easily enough, everyone else must just be lazy or lacking in willpower or something. I don't understand if it's a lack of empathy, or a lack of imagination, or…

This comes from the American fetishization of individuality, independence, and choice. You CHOSE to be a mother, you CHOSE this. No one chooses to be in mourning or to get cancer (unless you are a smoker or something, I guess). It's the same value system that refuses to help poor people or the homeless or the…

What are you even talking about? I totally bounced back from labor. I mean yeah my hand was a little sore from the brutal hand holding, but honestly I was my old self again in like 15 minutes. Oh, wait, we're not talking about the guys here? Sorry, I was confused.

My parents are legal residents but used to not be proficient at speaking English, and I have observed that even some really little kids who are the children of immigrants (especially illegal ones) are often put in the position of speaking for their parents.

When I was a kid, every time we'd go out anywhere or my…

I would just tell the bartender he was one short, and to be sure to put it on his tab.

"Every other frat guy out there is going to say "you are so pretty, can I buy you a drink?" he just got friend zoned because he is like everyone else, and he asked for her permission. Instead walk up to a girl and say "hey you seem like no one will be your friend, so I'll let you buy thirty seconds of my time. I'll…

I'm on Team Mermaid, but I am totally into there once being elves and dragons and all that shit.

My liberty is not the ability to infringe someone else's liberty.

I dunno, that's a little ambiguous. If you're asking a recent acquaintance for a one-on-one meeting with alcohol, I would see that as a casual, informal date, and not just meeting up to hang out.

Well, one way to think of it is that you have effectively screened out an immature woman who plays a lot of games. No woman you would want to spend more time with would set you up like that.

My only advice for guests is this:

Check out the stuff from Pacifier. It's a Minneapolis-based children's store but they have a great online selection, too. Some personal favorites:

I take a small amount of offense to this. As an expectant mother, I don't think my path in life is now set or defined just because I'm doing something that's generally expected of me. There's a lot more to being a mom than just pushing out a kid and raising them according to some set of rules that don't exist. My…

Yeah I can understand that. On the other side is the woman who doesn't want to risk a confrontation. There really are guys who are fully expecting women to be at least somewhat accommodating and will spit back at a blunt rejection all kinds of nasty stuff about sluts, lesbians and the fact that she is ugly anyway. It…
