Ok, but do you really even know what that means? I have a friend who says he loves that his wife is low maintenance, but when she actually goes without makeup or a time consuming hairdo he ask her if she's 'tired' or 'not feeling well'. He likes the natural look but that look can take just as long to accomplish as a…

I told my kitteh Odie (yeah, I know he's the wrong species) that he was sexy once and he hasn't stopped rubbing the area where his balls used to be in my face since.

That sucks. I'm not technically married but I've been with my partner for many years and we have a family together. We're still very happy, but I don't know any other long term couples who are.

I drink just as much now as I did when I was single (which isn't a ton, but I can keep up with my brothers).

Thank you for your answer, this was really helpful.

The only time any of my cats were pushy about food was the very short period of time I had them before they were fixed when they were kittens.

Did you ever find help for your depression? I have been diagnosed with major depression and I am struggling to find the right treatment. I am in my late 20s with a family and while I think I have a handle on it it sometimes gets the best of me. I've tried everything, medication, psychotherapy, lifestyle changes,…

I get where you're coming from, but as a mother who lost a child (albeit in very different circumstances from what your parents were afraid of) I can understand their worry. Not overstepping my oldest daughter's boundaries is something I struggle with daily.

Hell, CHILDREN can be charged with child porn for their own pics.

Eastern European parenting sounds a lot like parenting at le maison de Beans. Of course my eldest is only 8 so I will probably think differently when she's a bit older. It's not that I don't trust her, I don't trust the world. Cliche but true, especially coming from me, where 1/3 of my old neighborhood buddies have…

Awww! That was seriously heartwarming. I'm glad everything worked out and your kitty is so sensitive.

Best. Kitteh. Evar.

My husband lost his V card at 12, my cousin at 13 and another cousin at 14. No snark intended here whatsoever but perhaps you should consider making your daughter less oblivious to sex ed. No matter how how diligent you are about where she is and who she's with there is always the possibility that some kid more…

I used to work for a production company and from what I was told people on shows like that have certain lifestyle clauses written into their contract. On Jersey Shore they are obligated to down play their wealth which is why most of them either live with their parents or live in modest apartments or houses. I'm…

Good for you. I also had a child in my teenage years (19) and while I had already graduated high school and started college it was still a huge deal for my family. They tried to pressure me to abort, and when it was too late for that, consider adoption. I toughed it out, had my baby, worked my way through college and…

Confirmation bias at its finest.

I was thinking that too. My opinion was always that Rand's ideas were better in theory than practice. Yeah, it would be nice if all charity and altruism were self directed but time and time again you see this idea fail. The sad fact is that if given the choice between giving or not, most people won't, or they won't…

The argument is usually that a fetus doesn't count as a person until they can be viable outside of the womb.

" One of the biggest issues I have with politics is how we portray each opposing side as good vs. evil/right vs. wrong/terrorist vs. patriot. " Agreed on that point 100%.
