Dude, I work with children who have been raped, beaten and neglected. I work with children who assault me and use their toys as weapons when I try to get them to go to bed. I work with children who were born to meth-heads and have such severe attention problems that they literally cannot have a conversation. Last…

It's sort of a depressing job. Most of the kids have stories that are a lot worse, actually. Just not relevant to this article.

Already exposed myself to some pretty intense ones in high school. If I was going to die, I already would have.

Don't work at my job, then. We get loads, loads, loads worse.

I think that this is just being a shitty parent, but hoarding can definitely veer into the category of child abuse without too much of a problem.

I work at a residential treatment facility and we had a child from a hoarder home for about a day while her social worker looked for a suitable family member for her to stay with.

If you don't…

Well then talk to them and then ask. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Don't be subtle. Be like, "Hey. I like you. Let's get coffee and snuggle."

I think the main problem is just that we don't have sufficient medical tests to say that it is safe. Like, we have no evidence that it isn't safe, but we also haven't looked for any. So for all we know it could quadruple your risk of dying from a blood clot. Again, it might be totally fine, but it's hard to know…

Como Agua Para Chocolate is the classic that seems to be required of every spanish student ever.

That would work a lot better if he had the money to buy me dinner...

BOYFRIEND! Why are you mysteriously missing with the car and not answering your phone?! Why did you not clean the bedroom like you PINKY PROMISED YOU WOULD?!

Basically, what you are trying to do is to impose a fee for a free service. The parking spaces are free, but you have decided that the other girls ought to pay for them anyways. I don't think that is fair or your place.
