Damn. I was just bitching to a friend about how my wedding is this coming weekend, and I find myself being helicopter parented at the age of 30 by my future MIL. My mom is easy-peasy with the wedding stuff, it's my MIL who has opinions on everything and who is improperly inserting herself. She's somehow turned one

"unlike previous generations who just wanted to get away from their parents, millennials are running toward their parents and moving in with them."

Nobody said the movie made sense. It didn't have to though. It had giant robots punching giant monsters. It was the ultimate "dumb awesome movie."

Congratulations!!! Mine is in five days (holy crap)!

It's definitely all about taking a breath and just remembering what it's worth in the big scheme.

Also: maybe have a friend run defense? Seriously! My best friend's mom never lets up. She inserts herself into everything. So the whole wedding day I kind of monitored my

I don't mean to be a dick, and I don't think this is the answer you want, but it sounds like it might be easier to just not do those things. Sometimes we want the imaginary person we wish someone was to be there, and not the person they really are. Does this drunk, emotionally abusive man deserve to walk you down the

Word. My list for how to not fight with my mother would be a very short one.

My mom hijacked my wedding. I didn't even really want to have one, but she would have been so disappointed if we eloped and as a result I conceded.

ILLUMINATI GHOSTS

I have some advice that might be helpful. I think people have an easier time avoiding fights if they're conscious of the potential for fights beforehand. For example, my mom is an amazing and hilarious person whom I love more than anyone in the world. She's also a shrieking neurotic who knows exactly how to fly in a

Congratulations and good luck. Do you have any siblings? I find the best way to avoid a huge argument is to have my sister as a buffer. Instead of freaking out at me she just gets mildly annoyed at the both of us.

Cause Chris Brown's career really ended after he beat Rhianna.

Satire so absurd only an idiot could be offended! 10/10!

I honestly don't get this. Lolita is a classic. People should read it, and discuss it. Or at least feel free to read it without being called a creep.

I think she looks 21. Her outfit is terrible, but whatever. I think most the crap people in LA wear is stupid. And Lolita is an awesome book. I think someone spends too much time analyzing pictures of people they don't know...

Somebody doesn't understand libel laws...

You're looking at the upper body?

I llived in a country with sane healthcare (national health care).

If a woman was struggling with infertility would ultimately get 3 in vitro opportunities covered under the medical system. Several of my friends there are in treatment, and many of them have done well (had babies).

One moved on to surrogacy — the

The 25% rate is based on super old data, actually. It's been around 40% (for women in the 35-40 age bracket, ~50% for younger and ~30% for older) for years now, and the rate is steadily increasing as techniques improve. Some (albeit more expensive) clinics have success rates as high as 70%. And as you say, that's

I'm sorry, but I'm Jezebel's favorite aunt, because I bring booze and sometimes even share it.

Does anyone else get the feeling she might turn super conservative when she gets older? Think about it. The most religious people you've ever met typically have a "liberal" past where they engaged in a lot of partying and promiscuous sex. But when they get older, one day they "find God" and denounce everything they've
