Those jawlines, lips, and noses. They were so vain they were dating themselves. My last Ex is engaged to a girl who could be his sister, they look so much alike.

No, she Betty

so he swapped his seat for one toward the back

It used to be that crashes and deaths caused by driving while drunk was just considered a part of the inherent risk of driving. People drive; people drink; sometimes bad things happen. Such is life. It took a concerted effort of pissed of moms of dead kids to say that conceptualization was fucked up and it’s not only…

I’m afraid to listen to this. I lost my mom back in 07 and so far I haven’t lost it this Mother’s Day, but I always end with tears. I know this will push me to that point.

OK OK OK, yes, let’s talk about that episode because I call so much bullshit on all of it. It started out with the “disaster” wedding that was never really explained but mostly seemed like they simply had a quickie wedding rather than a big bash. It seemed pretty evident to me that they were hoping to get a big…

TOTALLY. And the age gap between first and next group of kids was vast. I think they just didn’t want to say on TV that she was knocked up, so we couldn’t have a big wedding. Instead they made up that weirdass story of...no photos? And how it’s bothered her for 15 years? “The photographer just flaked!” Yeahhhh, right.

I am so glad I wasn’t the only one going, wtffff? We watch this as a family, we have 4 kids, so we totally get the kid-chaos piece, but theirs was off the chain. My husband and I kept looking at each other, like what the heck is going on here, something is so fishy with her....

I liked Tom, but that Christian couple with all the kids had some problems. That was a straight-up hoarder house, and something about the two jobs and only sleeping three hours a night didn’t pass the smell test for me. Maybe they just seemed like a couple of really religious couples that I know who just approach…

DING DING DING. I heard that story and was like, this is clearly Bobby falling on his own sword and covering for the fact that she got pregnant accidentally. Again, I loved the whole episode and thought the makeshift wedding reception was sweet, but you can’t say “oh we dated for 3 months and suddenly decided to get…

I really need to go back to that episode and see what she was contributing. I’m sorry, but with that amount of children, homeschooling as opposed to taking the second job your HUSBAND took (when he already has one) is irresponsible and inconsiderate. I know a family just like that (9 kids! evangelical and…

I thought the same thing and was immediately icked out. How. And she was nagging him: his greasy hair, rumpled clothes—he’s working two jobs and BARELY sleeping!

I wonder if that’s what’s going on with all the sippy cups....somebody in the family is actively keeping them, and saving them from being thrown out. As nice as it was, I’m sad to cynically agree with you.....that place is likely FULL of clutter again, if not outright messy.

I grew up in a disgusting house. As children we tried REPEATEDLY to make it not disgusting- with no success because my mom (dad didn’t live with us) refused to assist and actively resisted - I’m talking pulling trash out of bags and saving it. I have no idea what goes on in their house, but it’s possible the kids did…

I did not understand the fixation on the lack of wedding pictures from the first wedding. Maybe because I am not married, but I don’t get it. Yes, it would suck to not have pictures, but it was what? 10-15 years prior? They have a million kids and a whole life together, why is this something that even comes up…

I also have hefty questions about the oldest children. Like.....I don’t hold them responsible for the state of that house, but at least 3-4 of them were old enough to help do dishes, etc.

Will someone please dissect the episode with the couple and their 6 children who lived in that hoardery home filled with sippy cups? I need to discuss how...odd...the wife/Mom was in that episode.

I’ve been called anti-social before because I’ve opted out of spending my free time with co-workers, even though I’m someone who goes to a lot of work events in the evenings, and I do my best to go to happy hours when invited. I felt it was really unfair — we’re already in a field where people are easily putting in…

There’s also a gender dynamic of women being afraid of “offending” men for making more money than them. My brothers will openly talk about how much money they make, but I don’t because I make more and I don’t want to deal with the consequences of bruising their male ego. Even my husband, who is wonderful, is slightly…
