So gross. A person who wants to die does not need “punishment.” Sometimes I hate people.

This is gross. Oh, you feel enough despair to want to take your own life? We will deprive you of human contact for a fortnight, that ought to fix it.

I’m old with 3 grown kids and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for reassuring me that there are rational adults out there who are younger than me. This thread was kinda scaring me on that score. I was beginning to wonder if there were actually any sane parents out there.

There’s a undercurrent of “you don’t love your child” if you sleep train. The people who don’t believe in sleep training act like you’re one step away from lighting your baby on fire and snapchatting it with glee if you sleep train. In the past 5 or so years there has been this shift from hey your kid is fine and…

I see it more as a boundaries thing. It’s a healthy move to make sleeping an individual activity but if you invite someone into your bed it’s a mutal decision. You can’t just say “I SLEEP HERE NOW!” And it’s okay. I choose to sleep with my partner because it’s a space where we can get the late night giggles over…

Yeah, the thought of someone needing me in the bed with them gives me the horrors- I don’t think there needs to be anything wrong with it, but since I was a kid, I have always done best with my own sleeping space. Some adults are innate cuddlers and I’m thinking they’re the sort of adults who’d do best with a kid who…

I have a cousin in 6th grade and it was months ago that he started sleeping alone. The last time I babysat overnight he kept saying “it’s time for bed! It’s time for you to go to bed!” because his parents told him it was fine for him to not sleep in his bed because it was a special occasion. Meaning he could sleep in…

Anna fucking sucked. I liked Sherilynn Fenn when she was Jess’ dad’s partner Sasha.

When Dean meets Rory, he’s witty and smart (funny-smart, not intellectually smart) and engaging and warm. Jess appears, and the writers transform him into “ME BIG DUMB DEAN! ME NO LIKE BOOKS! ME NO LIKE RORY BE SMART.”

#TeamDeanDeservedBetter! He wasn’t a genius, but they turned him into a dumb cheating lug, just to make that whiny emo kid look better.

ugh MADDY, STOP BEING SO GLIB ABOUT SOMEONE AS IMPORTANT AS LORELAI II. Lorelai is selfish, but she was a good mom. She was emotionally stunted from having a baby at 16 and feeling alone ($$/privilege aside-emily and richard did not learn to respect her decisions until like, s7e18, and Lorelai did not grow up enough…

BOTH LOGAN AND RORY ARE SPOILED TRASH. THERE IS NO OTHER OPINION. THIS ONE IS RIGHT.

Counterpoint: Logan is is a rich tool.

that was one of my first thoughts. How many people would be freaking out watching this and end up calling CPS for child endangerment?

inb4 insufferable neighborhood association busybodies file a complaint for “hazardous yard detritus” or some bullshit and get the whole thing demolished because those people hate your happiness.

I love this so goddamn much. The girl is clearly an ANW superfan and I see that she is learning from the veteran ninjas. She is clearly studying their techniques when it comes to the obstacles. I mean one handed on the zip line? That girl is confident. She really is a superstar.

one handed zip line, wow. i was a strong kid but couldnt hold my own weight, felt like i had noodle arms.

They worried that this was big government telling people what to feed their kids.

She is so bloody smart, in every kind of intelligence I can think of. I am going to miss her (and the whole Obama fam) desperately.

Guys. Guys? Guys.
