I think you may have created a new category of posts. Looking forward to “Presented Without Comment Fridays”.

Stories about elderly gay couples finally being able to marry result in me crying about 97% of the time, topped only by heroic dog stories (98.5% chance of crying).

No family is safe

I left a comment above that is also for you=) You two are too funny

I’m the youngest girl in a family of 7, it’s always been about me (even at 45) so I’ll just let you ladies have this one. Damnnnnn! Come on dad, she tied her shoes, let it go now. And mom that’s just not cool. I don’t remember what my mom said when my kids were born but I’m sure it wasn’t that. There is one thing I…

Hahahaha re “Why does that baby have so much hair?”

I am extremely happy with my life and wouldn’t trade with her. Whether or not my life is better than hers is I suppose subjective, but yeah, I’ve definitely been working toward and achieving my goals through hard work and a little luck for quite some time; and I am more independent, I’ll say that.

It’s okay. Thank you. It’s mostly an expected annoyance at this point.

I really appreciate that you see how messed up it is, because I’ve been told that’s it’s no big deal forever. It’s kind of a weird situation. My parents think that my sister is so sensitive that she’ll fall apart if I am praised and she is not. That’s why they do it. It still sucks, but I think I’ve figured it out,…

I’m afraid I made them sound worse then they are. It’s a very strange dynamic. My parents see my sister as extremely sensitive. I have no idea whether or not it’s really true, because that’s been the story for years. They truly believe that they have to bolster her up by matching any accomplishment of mine with loads…

I’ve brought it up on occasion when it really bothers me. They don’t realize what they’re doing. Apart from the eternal focus on my sis, my parents are good people and very nice to me and supportive of me, so I’ve chosen to let these occasional comments slide. I just reread what I wrote, and I made them sound pretty…

When I was 18 and getting close to senior prom, my older sister was engaged and preparing for her wedding. My mother promised to expand my allowance to go prom dress shopping in the spring, but when the season started winding down and prom was getting close, she changed her tune and said I couldn’t go shopping. “Then…

I would be ok with this.

Oh, I’ve heard good ( I.e- Bad, naughty) things about that institution.

Wow fuck your family. I hate your family. If we were growing up together, I would have tortured them all quietly and daily and never would have told you because you seem so nice. Truly. I kinda want to punch your mom in the face for that baby thing for real. YOU WERE ALREADY AT THE HOSPITAL. I would have been like,…

yes do it dooo it. but for like small things, like ‘oh it’s your wedding anniversary? that’s amazing it’s the same day that my coworkers neice used the toilet independently for the third time! life is wacky isn't it folks?' do it do it. just inane shit no one cares about.

Girl. I’m sorry.

I’ve personally found that girth means a lot more to me than length. Current SO is a solid average length, but very big around. As long as you match up well with your partner, I don’t think it particularly matters.

that’s b/c sister always makes it about her feels. that’s what’s annoying about sisters. when i announced my engagement, my sister’s reaction wasn’t congratulations, but she called me up to snarl at me about how i was disrupting her summer vacation and that i HAD to change the date. when she got married four years…

The truth is, your parents both see you as the clear winner. You’re more successful, happier, make more money, are more independent and I’m guessing better looking. They’re always asking “how will Amy’s little sister feel?” because she always feels TERRIBLE that she is not you and does not have what you have. So,…
