In Gone Girl, the female character is "crazy" and plots her actions very elaborately - highlights include writing a faux journal for a very, very long time to help frame her husband for her (faked) murder. She does other stuff, showing a real dedication to "setting up" her schemes.

I think there's something to your comment - did you read Gone Girl, by any chance? We already know that these girls planned for a very long time before they actually attempted to murder their classmate. I don't think it's unreasonable to suspect that part of that planning is building a case for the "we're delusional!"…

Wait... so would an IUD also be covered completely? When I looked into it through my insurance, it was not (no idea why, and I looked into like a year ago, so I don't remember details beyond "shit, I can't afford that!").

You're telling me - our doctors refused to tell my husband what his MRI results are over the phone. They're insisting on an appointment, which makes perfect sense because they get a $50 copay from us (in addition to whatever the insurance pays) for an office visit. Am I pissed? Yes. Can I do anything about it... I…

This was hilarious.

Same here. I'm a 32/34DD, depending on where I'm shopping... finding nice tops that don't make my breasts look comical... it's a real struggle.

Can we get a post for those of us that are neither plus-size nor thin?

I love your comment because a lot of people haven't actually been around someone who literally does not feel emotions like "normal" people should.

I struggle so hard with this case. My gut feeling is - put them away forever! But a part of me struggles because I don't think it's right since they are children and their brains are not fully developed and all that.

While I agree, in this specific case, in general it's hard to know if your kids' behavior is troubling or just an exaggeration of something they find amusing. For a very short period (like a week), one of my kids used to do something that I thought was disturbing, but it turned out to be a sort of misinterpretation of…

Yeah, but it might be too late now - people get used to their meals a certain way and then if you change it, they freak out. Unless the prices dropped by like, half, I don't know if charging less would really make a difference :( I agree with you, for what it's worth, I just don't know if the "masses" would respond…

This. I think people really underrate how important portion size is. We're so trained to "not waste food" and to "clean the plate" that we don't even pay attention to our body when our body tells us it's had enough. I'm guilty of this, too - I have totally purposefully ignored my full belly because something just…

One of my friend's aunts is a nutritionist or something like that. I know she went to school for it, and she legit studied this stuff - she's not just one of those "I read an article once..." people. And she told my friend that Chipotle is fine (in moderation) as long as you don't eat it all in one sitting. So my…

I always get the chicken burrito bowl with rice and corn salsa. That's it. Because I'm picky and I actually don't like Mexican food. Even if it's a million calories, I still feel like it's better than eating whatever passes for food at Taco Bell (no hate on TBell lovers, just not for me!)

Agreed. I mean, it's one thing if you're a regular person that can't afford a sitter and needs to swing by Target and your kid just won't cooperate - I've been there, I'm not going to be judgy. But this is the same thing as parents that go to really nice restaurants that obviously aren't kid-friendly and then refuse…

I have 2 corgis. They are precious and evil food-monsters but I loves them. They are so not perfect - they're rescues, both of them - but they are my Bests in Show. <3 #feels

I have a toddler and I think it's unacceptable to subject others to your child's mood swings, regardless of where you are. Especially since they can obviously afford a babysitter- North does not need to be there. I mean, they can do what they want as parents, and I'm not surprised that they choose this route. I just…

parents that do that give us all a bad name. I don't care if you're at a fashion show or Applebee's, you do not let your kid freak out like that and disturb others. If you can't get them quiet in a few seconds, you get them away. And I say this as someone with a toddler!

Similarly every woman in my family sees her 90s on both sides - and both were raised on diets that aren't "healthy." Lots of rice and fried things. And booze.

My mom is a terrible parent. She definitely wouldn't make the history books - it was just your run of the mill kind of heavy emotional/light physical kind of abuse. The kind that you spend many years describing as "not that bad" until your therapist says "this is a toxic situation and you need to get out."
