Last time I checked, the definition of marriage has changed at least once every few decades to progress from ownership of women to the brief illusion that it was a romantic lifetime commitment and now to the point where you need to get married if you want your family to be protected under the law.

“the reality is if two people were together for 22 years it was because they were aiming for a lifetime. No rational human being wants to start afresh after 22 years unless the relationship is irretrievably failed.”

Congratulations* on their long relationship!

Lainey has long danced around the issue of their open marriage, so I doubt him seeing someone else is why they are divorcing.

The show is Hollywood Game Night, and it airs first run on NBC. GSN airs repeats. That show is unscripted though, and this article specifically says that scripted television has not gone well for her recently.

All of this! (Most) babies aren’t that hard and they are really resilient. As Brene Brown says, “babies are hardwired for struggle.” I had my kids a long time ago but I give myself props for being pretty laid back about everything. The parents you’re babysitting for might be neurotic about things, in which case I’m…

Thank you for that. It really does suck, right? It’s been like a cloud over my head all day today. Not that this is about me - at all. I actually polled my kids today - 18, 16 (boys) and 13 (girl). I left out the details, such as “it’s your preschool teacher” (I mean) and I just put it to them as a “what do you think…

I see a lot on here about people are perplexed at how successful Pink still is. Australia fricken loves her, we consider her one of us and this is why...

If you want a little inspiration, when I started working I had no degree. I worked in customer service for 10 years. I saved a down payment for my first house by renting a room to live in for $300 a month (granted, this was 15 years ago) and saving every penny I could for years, and then finding a cheap, tiny house…

Yeah, and check the picture. It may be someone just took it from another website.

This sounds awesome but I have a BA in theatre, am poor, and have no idea how index funds work. Or what they are at all

So I’ve been an abortion doula at Planned Parenthood for about four months now. I was dreading my shift yesterday because it was a morning shift (I’m not good at going to sleep early and get insomnia when I know I have to wake up for something in the morning) and I knew we were short staffed that day so I’d be the…

I saw my new therapist who specializes in trauma. My mom is borderline and my dad sexually assaulted me as an infant, so...it wasn’t a great childhood. It was confirmed I have severe and complex PTSD, an eating disorder that’s causing anemia and anxiety so bad I’ve got patches of psoriasis on my arms, but I got more…

I am smiling so hard right now. Your kid is younger than the story I’m going to tell. When I was 15, 16, 17 mine was the “hang out house”. My Mom trusted all the kids and we had numerous coed sleepovers. In the summer it was out in the back yard next to the pool. My parents would wake up to my guy friends cleaning the…

A+ parenting.

I let my 13 yo daughter throw her first coed party at our house last night. A few things: (1) I left her dad 2 years ago, and we were living in a tiny apartment. I found a great rental house, and we moved here in August. She’s so proud of it that she wanted her friends over. Also, my ex was raised by a hoarder, and he…

I impulsed rescued a dog from a bad situation. I was so worried about it all, intro to new dogs, having a small dog (chi mix), vet bills. But! Surprise! Dog is an absolute angel. I “gave” her to my 8 yr old who has a lot of psychiatric issues. They adore each other. And DD’s behavior is about 50% improved.

Hello! Yes. I’ve been doing it for several years, while at the same time trying to lower my life style expectations (happily!) I’m proudly at 25% investing, and have two paid off rental houses. (Is this bragging? I don’t know, yes. Yes it is.)

I think Dubya loves Michelle. See; how he was trying to get her attention at the inauguration and the 100% pure sunbeam his faced turned into when she saw and smiled at him.

I think Kylie is the true winner today
