I already opted for the cleaning lady this year once or twice a month. I decided it’s totally worth it so I can keep my sanity.

I do the SAME thing to assholes like that. Pic of the license plate, and sometimes I hold it up for them to see. That usually shuts them up.

The ONLY time I frequently saw a white person in cornrows was back in elementary/middle/high school when people would go someplace tropical and come back with them.

Mutliple children in the car are a major distraction to drivers and cause accidents. Maybe we should get rid of all of them too, while we’re at it. How dare all those mommies drive with their children in the car! One minute off the road, ONE distraction from their children could KILL SOMEONE!!!!!

Of course you’re not right, way to be irrational. Ever driven on the Belt Parkway in traffic before? Cause when I’m driving hands free talking to someone on the phone while going 6 mph, aint nobody gonna die here. Shit DOES.NOT.MOVE. We’re not talking freeway speeds, not everything is black and white. Let me guess,…

3 hour round trip commute daily to and from work, sometimes longer in REALLY bad traffic days combined with a job where I am teaching children and just cannot be on my cell phone or communicate with the outside world. Trust me, there is NOTHING chill or interesting to see while driving on the hell that is the Belt…

Sometimes I spend over 3 hours commuting if it’s a bad traffic day :( I feel like these people who have their panties in a bunch do not have hellish commutes/jobs where they cannot talk on the phone.

Try me. First year teacher commuting to Brooklyn. Major traffic on the Belt Parkway, leave the house at 5:45 am. Can’t take cell phone out at work with the students, and often work through my lunch/am running around the building/taking the moment to actually USE THE BATHROOM during that time. Mandatory after school…

I’m in the same exact boat. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, it’s fine. I’ve NEVER had a friend complain, but perhaps that’s because we all work similar jobs and have similarly hellish commutes, so we get it. I’d much rather a friend call me in the car because she is free and has the time than not hear from them…

Orrrrr she’s a really busy friend who leaves for work at 5:45 am, can’t talk on the phone at work at all, and has an awful commute of two hours on the way home in traffic before she comes home and has to grade her students’ tests/work/lesson plan? Has nothing to do with entertaining me in the car, and everything to do…

I do...sometimes. Typically while I’m procrastinating and REALLY don’t want to grade those math tests. Or with my 88 year old grandma, because obviously. I did an internship at Disney in 2006 and still keep in touch with one of my friends regularly. Occasionally, we will Facetime from Alabama to NY, both with a bottle…

Try me. My county was the first to ban it in the country. I have yet to get a cell phone ticket. I live on Long Island and teach in Brooklyn, so I’m out the door at 5:45 am commuting on the God awful Belt Parkway, where half the time traffic ISN’T moving. Sometimes, it takes me over two hours to get home. Then when I…

THANK YOU. Grandma and dad took me to Broadway shows all the time as a kid. I would NEVER. And if I had acted inappropriately, they would not have apologized for my behavior, they would have taken me out of that theater so fast that my head would spin.

I’m a 5th grade teacher, and an avid reader. While not the greatest literary masterpieces on earth, I’m a firm believer that I want my students READING, period. That being said, my mother saved my brother’s ENTIRE collection of Goosebumps books. I have a huge Goosebumps bin in my classroom library, and my kids go nuts…

Oh yeah, my little sister gets away with so much more. I also think this is a combination of parents getting lazy and sick of parenting by the time the last one rolls around and the years go by, lol. And hey, your others survived!

My dad has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, with a touch of Asperger’s (joy!). Life in my house, needless to say, was and is a fucking rollercoaster that you would need to experience to believe. I’m talking completely ridiculous shit. I have a younger brother and a younger sister, and while my brother and I don’t…

I’m the oldest. My brother thinks I’m a selfish monster. My siste thinks I’m lovely though. We both have our moments. My sister and I are polar opposites, but get along great.

My sister is 6 years younger than me. Apparently when I was little, I put all of my “good”, most favorite toys on the top of my dresser when I went to school, so she couldn’t reach them and ruin them.

This is my whole family when it comes to food. I stayed at my parents’ house last week and cooked home fries, an omlette with sauteed shallots, freshly grated cheese, and a side of bacon. I didn’t get ONE DAMN FORKFUL in my mouth and my mom is coming at my plate with a fork. Then my sister walks in and takes a bite.

My experience as an elementary school teacher, an eldest child of 3, and one of 70 family members who go on vacation together every year (only children and siblings, depending on the family) is different than yours. In fact, I think a whole lot of it has to do with how the kids are raised more than whether or not they…
