Perfectly said. Those of us without kids have stressful things to contend with that may rival or surpass the stress of having a child, and it's really devaluing to hear that we could never understand. If child-rearing folk want to maintain these friendships, they HAVE to make meeting partway a priority. Maybe not THE…

I'm dying. DYING. You win prom.

It's really easy to feel separated from your body when it does something counter to your efforts and desires. From the perspective of someone trying to get healthy and feeling like none of it is paying off, I can vouch for feeling betrayed by physical form, however counter that might seem to logic.

As a former employee, I will agree and add this- people lose their damn minds when something does go wrong. I had to explain that something was canceled due to rain, and this parent just stared at me, slack-jawed and furious. "You're Disney," she said. "FIX. IT."

When I got married, I asked my bridesmaids to buy any dress they wanted as long as it was a red that matched and black shoes of any sort. I bought their jewelry, and they either did their own hair/makeup, or my sister helped. I do not get why the act of having bridesmaids needs to be the kind of production that…

Yikes, some of these comments. Yeah, it was foolish, and yeah, she's got to deal with the consequences, but really, at the end of the day, this is a sad story.

On my last day working in costuming on a long running popular show, an actor grabbed a handful of my boob, saying, "You never got one of these." Not the assertive type, I laughed nervously and said, "Don't do that." He, not stopping, said, "Aw, you're so cute." I told a few coworkers, and they laughed and said, "It's…

I'm uncomfortable with it too. To me, its purpose is to denigrate women in a way that other curse words fucking don't. I'm not really a fan of bitch, either, but I prefer it to that. To each their own, but I personally don't like it.

That sounds word for word like my parents (seriously, including the difficulty with truth as a child), and add in the part where they TELL me I'm fine. Am I functioning? Sure. Am I fine? No. Fine, I suppose, is a function of how you view the word, but I'd like to be able to claim it or reject it for myself, thanks.

I was spanked as a child, and I am not fine.
