I mean this is an exert from some weird dystopian novel and not real life right?!
A-FUCKING-MEN. Subway is terrible and if you like it then you need to reevaluate your life choices.
The majority of my husbands relatives (that did come to our wedding- it was local and a short midday affair) did not give gifts (or even cards.) I don’t know all their financial situations but I wasn’t really offended because we invited them so they could celebrate with us, not so we could have a cash/ gift grab.
I was in a sorority in college for a year before I left the college for health reasons, and I’m in touch with some of the girls via Facebook. Most of these girls have been in SO MANY weddings it’s crazy. I have no idea how they afford all the bridesmaid dresses alone, not to mention all the Vegas bachlorette parties.…
My cousin got married a few years ago in Vail (we live in Denver) and if it wasn’t for my parents footing the bill for us we wouldn’t have been able to go. Between the hotel, having to eat out, a flower girl dress for my daughter, and of course the gift, it was a very expensive excursion.
I can’t say I’m anti-death penalty because I believe that heinous child abusers and molesters should be killed- no question. However I completely agree with you in this instance. Death is exactly what this guy wants, and we absolutely shouldn’t give him what he wants.
Half of the shirts I wear regularly were purchased by my husband (well, his dad technically) in the 1990s at various drag racing events. I think the tasteful neons in the shirts would compliment these dresses nicely.
You can either take her with you or leave her in the car for 5 seconds. When my daughter was a baby I carried her with me, now that she’s a toddler she waits in the car. Don’t be that person.
Oh my god I just laughed so hard!
When my paternal grandpa was little (and living in the Jim Crow south) he was up playing in the attic of his house when he found a costume and put it on. He came downstairs to show his mom and lo and behold he had dressed himself up in full KKK garb. I believe his father had distanced himself from the group, but was…
Although boys had casually flirted with me before this, the summer between my 7th and 8th grade year I dyed my hair blond, started plucking my eyebrows, and started wearing makeup. I’ll never forget going back to “Confirmation” (weird Lutheran thing, I’m an Atheist now) and a bunch of boys were talking about how “hot”…
Remember that all these changes may be really embarrassing for your daughter and it’s of the utmost importance to treat her with respect. The day I got my first bra my dad jokingly snapped my bra strap (he was probably uncomfortable and being a jackass is how he makes up for that) and it was just really inappropriate…
I started in 6th grade, although a lot of my peers started in 5th. Today- and especially now that I’m a mother- this seems like such a young age! Elementary school kids are just babies! I’ll never forget asking my mom if I could shave my legs and I burst out crying in embarrassment. She thought I had gotten my period…
I do too but only because I have my mom’s iTunes password and she doesn’t seem to care about all the iTunes purchases on her credit card, haha.
I nursed my daughter both on the toilet and sitting next to the toilet and she turned out ok. I have severe GI issues and no, a screaming newborn can’t always wait for the hour that I’m in the bathroom. As many other commenter have said women are actually told to nurse in nasty public restrooms so how is this…
Oh man I wanted to wear Converse so bad in Hugh school but my feet were wayyy too fat haha. Both my mom and sister have longer and more narrow feet than me- I can’t share shoes with anyone in my family!
I still dress like I’m 15 which is probably unbecoming of a 26 year old but what are you going to do, haha. In addition to flip flops I have a pair of Vans slip ons that I love! They are hell to break in but so worth it.
And that is why when I was running (can’t anymore due to an implanted gastric neurostimulator) I ended up buying the fugliest Brooks shoes ever. The running shoe store people said they were the best for my feet (they had machines!) but they still made my knees hurt.
I started wearing men’s skate shoes in high school and still love them to this day even though a lot of skate brands have dedicated women’s lines now. They make my fat feet so happy. On a related note you know what are ridiculously gendered? Little kids shoes. I- and my daughter- are all for sparkles and pink but…
