I grew up in a fairly large family (6 kids), and I don’t remember a single vacation with all of us together. My parents knew that there was no activity in the world that would entertain both a 4 year old and a 16 year old, so all family time was split up by age.

I do most of my cooking for the week on Sunday, so I usually have different leftovers for both lunch and dinner throughout the week. For example, I’ll make a big pot of vegetarian pasta and a roast chicken with veggies, then have chicken with veggies on Mon-Tues lunch, leftover pasta for dinners those nights, chicken…

Would Cateau Meowmont work?

I think it’s a human thing.

It’s not a Hollywood movie, but you should watch the Korean movie “The Handmaiden”.

Looking back, one of the unintentionally saddest things my mother ever told me was not to read romance novels because they’ll only result in my (presumably married) sex life being disappointing in comparison.

As someone who is so bad at recognizing faces that I have introduced myself to the same person twice in 5 minutes, I’ve perfected the art of greeting people in a manner that is 100% unclear (to them) if I know them or not. Usually the resulting conversation includes a clue as to where/if I met them.

Sixteen Stone was the first CD I ever bought. My mom read the lyrics and took it away immediately.

Bonus: if this doesn’t work and bad behaviour continues, you’ll get an early warning that your child is a sociopath.

The simplest answer is often the best :)

I bet she’s always been desperate to be the cool, edgy one.

Unless your kids are in danger of scurvy or malnutrition, don’t sweat it. They’ll probably get over it on their own. I used to be the pickiest kid in the world, and my mother (who had 5 other kids to feed) just taught me to make my own sandwiches from a very early age since she didn’t have time to deal with it. I…

Trudeau was there to ask the Pope to apologize on behalf of the church for the role it played in Canada’s residential schools for natives (aka decades of forced assimilation, sexual and physical abuse, and cultural genocide), so he might have also just not been happy to see Justin either.

I think they’re just proving that classically beautiful women look good in almost any hairstyle possible.

You probably would, but what about your spoiled rotten grandkids? It’s always the grandkids of people who end up rich that end up rotten.

I have no idea if this would affect the quality of the makeup, but I wonder if you could freeze it.

I grew up poor with extremely frugal parents, and learned great money management from them. My husband grew up in an upper middle class home with parents who were (and still are) always hopelessly in debt due to horrible spending habits, and he learned great money management skills by doing the opposite of what he…

It’s really the most ridiculous thing ever (a butter/flour crust filled with butter and sugar), but when they’re done right, there’s nothing better.

Phone calls make me incredibly anxious. Whenever my phone rings, I just get this moment of almost paralyzing anxiety, just due to the fact that I don’t know what the call is about (and probably because calls these days seem to be saved for important/bad news.

Skip Agricola and get the creator’s next game instead: Caverna. They took Everything great about the first game and refined it, while leaving out all the fury-inducing inequality caused by the cards.
