It blows my mind that people would be offended by me not attending a wedding that the invitation says "no kids" when I can't afford childcare. It's not that I expect my child to be in attendance, it's that I can't afford childcare. Profound difference.

Yeah, I'm going to make major life decisions based on whether or not I might one day decide not to attend someone's afternoon event. "No Kids" is exclusionary and being exclusionary is rude. If I had the means, of course I would get a babysitter, but right now I don't. So a "no kids" invitation means I won't…

And I still don't own an actual winter coat.

I'm not dictacting the guest list. However, I can state I think that "no-kids allowed" weddings are rude. It's not throwing a tantrum, with all the priorities I have as the head of a single-income household it's practical.

I'm not insisting on anything, however there are those people out there who want you at their wedding, without your child, who don't understand. In my wedding, I took to heart the concerns of my guests, many of whom had to travel long distances to be a part of my special day by keeping costs for them and my…

Seriously the days of the Baby Sitters Club pay the high school kid down the block and feed her dinner are long gone. LONG GONE.

If I get an invitation that says that I cannot bring my child, it is basically the person asking for me to shell out extra money to spend time with them, because finding childcare is extremely expensive, especially on weekends. I'm not an asshole, if my kid misbehaves I would remove him from the ceremony, but I also…

I always plan to do the bulk of my shopping (unless I have a huge fucking coupon) for presents in the days before the actual day, because prices always tend to drop the closer you get to Christmas. Much more than Black Friday. It's not procrastination, it's a fucking strategy and these goons better step off.

Denmark is a better place for workers in general than the United States. That's the long and short of it, really.

Congrats aw they look so happy.

I AM BLESSED WITH HAVING SO MANY INLAWS WHO HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS OF ME AND ARE VERY NUMEROUS AND FREE FLOWING WITH THEIR OPINIONS ON MY PARENTING ABILITY AND FREQUENT REQUESTS FOR MY FAMILY'S PRESENCE AT UNAFFORDABLE FAMILY EVENTS, PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHS, AND UNAFFORDABLE CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

This meme wins the internet for the entire weekend.

And retire the duck's ass hairstyle. FOREVER.

And have it verified by a notary. All sexual encounters should be first verified by notaries.

If you have to capitalize the word "Americans" in your disclaimer that should be a red flag that you should just stop what you're doing because it's offensive. Or just remove the disclaimer and be offensive.

I think the solution is simple, treat others as you want to be treated, but don't expect anyone to congratulate you for it. If you can participate in activism, do so because it's something you believe in not for the social rewards or prestige you think you might gain from it.

Perhaps. I was more referring to the vacant glint in her eye matched with the costume of a fictional man who has a flying sleigh. I did not watch the interview either, I just remember never encountering a person of color who participated in Santacon from my days in NYC.

Agreed. She is an embarrassment to the United States as an entity.

You are too kind. I don't think she looks like she votes at all.
