I really wanted to like them, but they make I really hard. The animal thing definitely seals the deal. I don’t even understand how people with that much money rolling in need to re-home. Just pay somebody to look after it for you if you aren’t around or it needs more attention. God, my puppy is putting me through the…

Being humans, they do. You are not entitled to every thought they have simply by virtue of being their biological parent. If you can’t see the danger this could pose to vulnerable kids, there’s something wrong with your thought processing. But you think you can own humans, so I guess we’ve already established that.

Your job is to love your kids and if you do it well you literally have no need to worry about this because they will share important shit with you. If a teenager is actually frightened about their parents discovering the truth of their gender or sexual orientation, there is something whack going on. The parent has not…

Umm. This is very contradictory. First you say that parents need to know everything and then you say they don’t.

It’s good because we all know there are absolutely no negative places that adolescents might go to seek support and acceptance when positive places can’t be found. They will just turn straight. That’s how it works.

Yup. All kinds of awful.

Parents. Don’t. Own. Their. Kids. Aaaaaaahhh!

I am a sucker for inflatables. They have a Buddy the Elf one at Lowes. It’s larger than life size. I really want it. My front yard is really small. I’m probably going to fill it in a couple years.

The apple butter pumpkin pie with praline pecans that I make says otherwise.

Yeah, when we first got there she was mute and on the verge of tears and refusing to do anything. But the dentist (a new one) came to talk to her and they instantly hit it off. Shortly after she started yammering about fluoride flavours. And of course I had to pretend like that’s totally something she does all the…

How is the Crown? I was too grumpy for drama this week, but I’m considering starting it next week.

I bought some canvases that I plan on painting with Christmas type things to hang up on the wall behind my dining table. In my head it looks pretty. We’ll see what happens in reality.

If you’re anything like I was, there’s no real solution to the tired other than time going by. With my first kid I would fall asleep on my desk at work. With the second I would put cartoons on to babysit my toddler in case I nodded off. It does go away though. A good body pillow can help get you more comfortable. I…

What was the thing? I like Barbie pink lip colours. Actually all lip colours.

My kids went to the dentist and my older one actually spoke! And had this creepy x Ray done! Hopefully she’s over her dentist fear because we have an orthodontist referral. Boo.

How can a person hate so much that they stop loving their own goddam kid? I want to find this child and make it all better. And I never could because how the fuck do you deal with that kind of rejection?

Yup, I did too. No racial slurs (the entire town was monochromatic), but she flipped on an 8 year old kid and told him he’d never have a job and no woman would ever want to marry him, etc. Like screaming at the top of her lungs. I wish I was a few years older. I’d have to hold her exactly what I thought. Sometimes I…

I found the best gift in my Hammacher Schlemmer catalogue.

Some friends and are getting CPC memberships just to vote against her. It feels dirty, but I’m on a mission. And it’s only 15 bucks. Total bargain.
