You are correct. That is the etiquette. Although my best friend (at the time) didn’t give us shit even though we spent major $$ on her wedding and all it entailed.

This bride sounds like the type to make an elaborate spreadsheet to check off each wedding guest, whether they gave a gift and how much it was worth. I'll bet she is the type of friend who won't spend a penny more on a person who she gives a gift than they spent on her. She seems very very petty.

I spent $1400 on all that entailed being the Maid of Honor in my friend’s wedding and dealt with her psycho bridezilla shit. I probably could have found some money in my budget to give a gift. I didn’t. No reason I should feel obligated to give a gift when I’m spending that much money on their wedding. I have never…

Betch.

Thank you for this. My own childhood suddenly seems so much less fucked up. Those poor kids.

I loved the Trevi fountain, but I was SO underwhelmed at the Sistine Chapel. The painting is so tiny!

It’s awesome! I forgot that one!

You’re probably right about that.

Yes! They’re called BOUNDARIES, people! Why does it seem like people think they can’t have a good relationship with their kids with healthy boundaries??

My parents would have been the same way. They wouldn’t FORCE us to eat it, but they would have asked us to try it before they allowed us to eat something else. That was always the rule in their house: you have to at least try it before you can say you don’t like it. To be fair, everyone parents with a different…

Yum!

That is exactly what I came here to say. Anytime I hear of anyone going to Paris, I recommend they spend their time at the Orsay or Orangerie instead. Much better and less crowded museums.

Very good point. I stand corrected. And I love that he had a great attitude about it.

Touché. I can agree with you there.

For the love of god! Asking a Michelin chef making a grilled cheese sandwich.... On the other hand, he was a great sport about it. Good on him.

I think the concern is that high school aged is way too young for the kid to be able to make the decision on whether plastic surgery is needed. EVERYONE has physical features they hate about themselves in high school. Most of the time we end up learning to love those things about us. If she is 18 and still wants to do…

Yeah, funny how now that she’s legally old enough to make her own decisions, they have decided to get involved... That poor girl never had a chance.

Am I the only one who thought that the pregnancy video seemed way too fake? There was something about the words she chose and how she reacted that seemed scripted to me... Although to be fair, I’ve never seen any of the couple’s videos before.

Love this. YES!

Jesus fucking Christ, enough with people trying to make it sound like he whole career boils down to this one situation. Jon Stewart is HUMAN, and he made a mistake and did something I’m sure he isn’t proud of; ya know, like humans do sometimes. It doesn’t change the fact that he has been a huge positive influence on…
