YES. I wonder how often this person’s father asked them to act in such a codependent and inappropriate manner? How often did this person’s mom do the same to her kid? Fuck parents who sit and “vent” about their own relationship problems to the children they both chose to make.

This is the perspective that’s so often missing from discussions like this. You’ve articulated it perfectly. This letter writer should never have been in the position they were in. Our parent’s marriages are not our responsibility and, to a much greater extent than many people are capable of recognizing, they’re often…

You were not responsible for your parent’s marriage. You were not responsible for your dad’s affair. You were not appointed, nor expected to be, your parent’s marriage counselor. You are their CHILD, not an unbiased professional. You are not responsible for your father failing to reach to your mother because that was…

Especially since the only two purposes were to get the tuition money until the refund deadline passed (*cough* UNC *cough*) or justify playing some good ‘ol ‘Murican footbaw!

Not a student, but I live in a college town, Ann Arbor. The students are back, and at least 2 have already tested positive. There have been parties and so on. The Big 10 cancelled all sports events, which is a good thing. Meanwhile our rival, Michigan State, cancelled all classes. I was surprised Michigan didn’t do…

“Let's just bring the students back and see what happens!" was never not a dumb strategy. 

Next time you need to install an engine message me and use my engine crane. I’m like a mile from you man! That’s dangerous stuff.

You guys are good parents. Fuck it. I’m a teacher and in my opinion, the best thing for kids of any age is that they feel safe, secure, and loved right now. By supporting and listening your son’s ideas (which sound like good ones) about his future is going to give him confidence in his choices. And he’s going to…

Despite recommendations from CDC health officials, the district has called mask-wearing a “personal choice” and said that social distancing “will not be possible to enforce” in “most cases.” While the school provided teachers with face shields and masks and encouraged staff and students to wear them, they are not…

Are you from the northeast? The South and west historically started sooner and ended sooner, because of heat in un-air conditioned schools. I grew up in PA and it was sometime during my education (I wanna say late 90s) that school went from after Labor Day to the week before. My sons school starts 8/25.

Christ, I personally would seriously fucking consider it. How stupid IS this jackass? A global pandemic, protesters with guns, a rising death toll, your wife the G O V E R N O R of a swing state and her name has been bandied about for the VP slot? WHAT THE SHIT, MARC WITH A C AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT THE C STANDS FOR.

I’m not sure if Joan is attempting to be an agent provocateur or if she truly believes it’s wrong for anyone to own property and charge rent. Nevertheless, I don’t think we can all agree that accumulating rental profit from the wages of people likely making far, far less than you is at best a tad questionable.

Yeah I thought that was really weird to have here. They took the step when so many corporate landlords aren’t doing shit.  Like why are they being called out here?

I have no issues with Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard owning a building and I think they’re being really good landlords by not charging rent for April. It’s decent and I wish my apartment complex would do the same.

Are we the same person?

I hope you thanked your cat for standing up for you when you and your wife weren’t able to.

Worst houseguest. My BIL who was visiting myself (37)and husband. Hubs had been diagnosed with ALS at age 43, seven months earlier and by now could barely talk, in a wheelchair and bed ridden in the main floor. BIL was upset that he couldn’t have a good conversation with his brother(who lost his voice because of ALS)…

Oh goody! My husband and I met cute 42 years ago.
I’d recently broken up with a real bastard and vowed I would never date again unless I knew the guy was a kind hearted person. All I wanted to do was hang out with my girlfriends and recover from the emotional abuse I’d experienced.

The concept of “meet cute” is still kinda vague to me. Doesn’t everyone think their first meeting with their partner was cute, if only for its mundanity? Anyway...

Wow...this person is clearly going through something tough and you’re coming at them for their grammar? Way to kick someone who’s down for no reason. Hope you’re pleased with yourself.
