“...that’s when I saw them getting into their car and getting ready to drive home. After 7 margaritas apiece.

Understood. I’m just super sensitive about it. There’s a woman in my office who thinks she should be allowed to bring her dogs (plural) into work because a couple of women have asked and gotten permission to bring a newborn into work before. She is loud and vocal about it once a week and I have to hear her arguments…

And I apologize for sounding condescending. The dog/baby thing is a trigger for me because it ALWAYS comes up in parenting discussions. I tend to get a bit hot-headed about it because there’s just such a difference.

Nope, no medal required. Just reminding everyone that having babies is not the same as adopting a pet. It really is a JOB. And people could stand a little more patience for the process, even if they can’t relate.

That picture desperately makes me wish Amy Schumer was their alternate.

THANK YOU. It’s become a common go-to phrase for people. Once again, people ignorantly lump new parents in with pet owners.

Also, your username is my favorite ever.

Ahhhhh there it is. Was just scrolling and waiting for someone to compare parents to pet owners. That never fails to destroy my day.

Ugh, women like this. They’re all over my son’s school. I’m not saying I don’t judge other parents, but it’s usually for something like turning their backs on the jungle gym to text while their kids beg them to watch their cartwheels. Outfits don’t really register. As a parent, I understand how hard it can be to leave…

Worst wedding guest nominee: my mother, who I’ve told wedding stories about before on here. I’ll just pick one incident to submit.

Um...fuck that dog. And fuck anyone who spends money like that on dogs. End of statement.

So true. Swear to God, one of my mother’s favorite moves is to fake a cancer scare...and say that (insert mean person here) GAVE it to her. Because negative energy. Or something.

Believe me, it IS possible to have your own relationships with those people. I do it with with many loved relatives who are close or in contact with my mother. My sister, for example, is my best friend but is also in daily contact with my mom and genuinely likes her. It was a big source of tension for us for a long…

YES! I adore my grandfather but he seriously treats my mother like a little girl and she loves it. She even has a special baby voice she uses when she talks to him. It’s sickening.

To this day, I regret inviting my mother to my wedding. I almost didn’t...but my grandfather insisted I “honor” my mother and “avoid a scene.” Ha.

Hang on, let me make sure I’ve grasped this whole week-long conversation about GS correctly: everyone is rushing to bash the movie because they’re embarrassed about singing its praises 10 years ago? And they all want to go on record as “fixing” their opinions?

Ugh, people and their need to bring their dogs everywhere. Taking them on planes is not okay (among many other places). The last time I saw someone with a dog, it barked the entire time (poor thing was clearly miserable, I’ve heard their ears react terribly to the air pressure changes)...and then someone two rows back…

They were all told they were getting bonuses for a very “profitable year.” So imagine you’re expecting some extra cash and being handed a sticky, half-empty bottle of cheap liquor with a re-used card around it, then having it taken away after one or two shots.

Oh well I should clarify, she wasn’t outside my place when I got the texts, she was asking me to meet her outside once I got to work the next day. But still terrifying. And that same suggestion (of an affair) definitely made the rounds when we heard she was suing. Because no one could figure out why he hired her in…
