It was the fav movie of one girl I was friends with as a kid and we watched it during her birthday. Such a snoozefest. Also...not really appropriate for a gaggle of ten year olds but, idc, I was half asleep anyway.

Plus it can be helpful rying to figure out what works for you as a person and is still clean. I have a totally different system from my folks because I’m super visual and need to see things or risk forgetting they exist. So I can’t just put things away in a cabinet or drawer (unless it’s a drawer I literally open…

I mean more after the fact and years later, and while I acknowledge it will be traumatic regardless simply due to the huge change I think that the biggest issue here is the lack of hearing how the kids are affected at all. Which is a huge problem when this is about child abuse.

I love how the people whining about the comments don’t stop and think “what if any of these commenters have suffered from being abused as kids.” Because there’s quite a lot who have, or have witnessed abuse or worked with abused children. Like no shit they’re annoyed at the apologia.

Yep. My aunt was bipolar and drug addicted. My mom found someone and recommended her to them and for a year she was better...until she wanted her drugs again and went back to her quack who just gave her the meds she wanted. Grandma never cared because “oh, she’s a lawyer” so she had to be okay, but all she did was…

Yep. Hell there have been ones on the site before that have been good, but this series is totally missing the mark.

Yep, very good.

The whole series would SO benefit from having the kids’ voice involved. Kid who feel they shouldn’t have been pulled but were and why, kids who should have been taken away but weren’t and why, looks at how the various separations affect the kids in general (which I have found lacking in every story so far). The…

Yep. My aunt was a serious hoarder, and also had custody of her mother who had dementia via power of attorney (which was not good since my aunt was a mentally ill addict with tons of issues of her own). Even with a maid coming weekly*, both grandma’s house and my aunt’s townhouse (used as a winter home) were filthy.…

I found the second story very interesting since it does mention the biases people have to deal with in the system, and the father also admitted his own faults when he realized his kids felt they had to parent their own addicted parents and how he’d tried buying their love until realizing their own behavior was the…

My god she’s dressing terribly, and the hair’s not helping (especially with the tan in the picture). Is she trying to look nonthreatening? “I can’t be a conniving bitch, see, I got rid of all the hard lines and bold colors for poor fit and a wtf palette” or something?

My grandma had a two day win-streak. She won a car on top of the money.

Dude, that’s a freaking meme at this point, I don’t think a single Jez article can lay claim to it.

1: Yay.

I see in trying to make herself appear more approachable she threw her sense of style out the window, too. She has softened her hair to the point of it not doing anything for her face and that shirt...Megyn, there’s a difference between “nonthreatening” and “crap” and you managed the second one. Like, she used to wear…

I just assumed she’s got herself a nice custom jet she really likes and finds the government ones less nice for whatever reasons she has.

I got morning admission and honestly, the people coming in around noon had it easier since there was less of a crush by then. The first part of the main historical area was such a smoosh and hard to maneuver but cleared out a bit later in the day.

Yeah, that was a bit more than what it cost for my dad and me to see it on a Saturday.

I think you mean $260 million. Unless most Jaws screenings were free.

Much like the far left, the far right cannot seem to let go of the Clinton boogeywoman, unless it is to put Pelosi in that role instead. It’s moderately comedic.
