I disagree. As an adult, a child should have the maturity to acknowledge when things are being done for you and, at a minimum, talk to your parents every now and then and respond to a text when they check in. It’s part of growing up. I look back on the times I ignored both parents when they just wanted a hello in…

I agree - this post is way over the top. Barring some dysfunctional family backstory, the adult child owes the parents polite behavior (returning calls, being nice) just as much as the parents owe the adult child polite behavior. Unless the adult child wants to break away from her parents entirely - including…

I don’t know the situation but I think you are reading a lot into this. It sounds like a frustrated mom dealing with a major transition period in the relationship. The rest is just projection. Eta: and to add, young people also have to learn to have a relationship as an adult with their parents. It’s usually a mutual…

i got manhattan, brooklyn and the bronx. i won’t go to queens or staten island.

Need help? Or should I cover my town?

My mom was a German teacher for 30 years (lived in Germany 10 years), so every Dec 6th, she likes to give us chocolates. When we were little it was toys!

i have a large white van. would that work?

Found it! It looks awesome! Now I know what I am getting myself for Christmas. :)

For real? This sounds really amazing. This is practiced in Croatia and I think other south Slavic countries. And even if you were really good, Krampus leaves you a pretty small branch covered in gold or silver.

Tomorrow is Saint Nicklaus day here! Meaning, kids put their boots on the window tonight and see if they will get a branch from Krampus or goodies from Saint Nicklaus.
Too bad I am not 6. :(

Y’all. First, and most importantly, I’m watching the SEC championship and had my bartender/friend make the closest approximation of a Yellowhammer. We did amaretto, rum, vodka, orange juice, and pineapple juice. It’s close but not quite right. If anyone has any idea what I’m talking about, tell me any tweaks to this…

I haven’t had any family members come out as trans, and my trans friends are people I’ve met after they began their transition. I guess the best you can do is just listen, be supportive and take your sibling’s lead. I’d also suggest PFLAG, as they have support for people with a trans family member, too. Best of luck…

Yellow Tail Chardonnay tonight, and plenty of it.

No suggestions, just hugs. You can be supportive and loving and also grieve for what is no more. We don’t live in a world that is entirely safe for the trans* community. It makes sense to have a heavy heart.

Hi Jezzies,

thinking about kidnapping some kids as a joke

okay you guys. i have a story. it’s long. deal with it.

Hi Jezzies!

If you’re planning on living together, owning property together, and having children together, a breakup in that situation looks about the same (and might be even more legally difficult) than a divorce. Putting the marriage label on a long term relationship doesn’t necessarily make its failure worse.
