Yeah not sure if there’s an exact number but 2-3 dates is definitely ghost territory, whereas 3-5 would be a polite email or text. Anything more and I”d probably do it in person, but I’m old school...

I thought it was a really well-stated apology!

Butch leisure wear, femme business casual, androgynous cocktail attire. These are the kinds of styles I’m interested in, not that basic ass bandage dress.

My guess is they actually pronounce it “sohhh-ry.”

Trader Joe’s is finally opening in Alabama in October, 130 miles away from me. I will still make trips just for that. And to see my fiance’s family. But mostly for TJ’s.

I got ghosted my my boyfriend, I had moved for work to another state but we still spoke all the time. We had plans to go to Chicago together for Halloween and then one day in August he just stopped responding to my texts and calls. I was like “Fuck it.” but then I actually had to figure out whether we were still on…

Statistically speaking you don't need to be worried about Uber drivers any more than taxi drivers. It's just that Uber is new a global so every time something like this happens it gets into the news.

You would be amazed at how few parents understand that if you stop giving them attention (which is what they want and why they're acting out), they'll stop acting like little shits.

Just be a good parent. School grades are so temporary and not an indicator of success for everyone. She is much better served by a loving parent than a taskmaster. Don't worry about it!

Hitting your child does not teach him empathy, it teaches him that violence is acceptable if you're larger or in a position of power over the other person. It's ok to be frustrated out of your mind, but as a parent you have the obligation to choose your behaviors and not let anger direct you (you're the one in…

This. My Mother suffered from serious neck issues as an adult and her doctors told her it was "shaken baby syndrome" - she was not shaken as a "baby" but she had vivid memories of being shaken as a small child that she would describe as "thinking my head was going to pop off".

I have wanted to smack the heck out of my kid. Never did though, because I am not a parent the way my mom was a parent, and I can recognize that my child is a happy child in a way I never was. The handful of times I have felt like doing it I was able to recognize that I was the problem, step back, and be a better…

This is like when drunk husbands beat their wives, and then an hour later they come in and apologize and say they'll never do it again and they're so sorry and they can't believe they did that but don't you understand that it was your fault for just making him so angry?

Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. (three times enough for you?) makes up for the damage of corporal punishment. I speak from experience, and as a parent, and you need to find other means to discipline. Regardless of where your heart is at, you are doing permanent damage to your child with physical discipline the way you…

Good god, this is fucking terrifying. Parents like this are downright abusive. You're modeling the worst behavior possible and demanding the best.

"Good mother" - the apologies don't wipe away the memories of the physical pain you inflict.

Yeah, that's abuse. My mother did the same, and worse. Change now, or your children will hate you forever.

Ah, yes, so now you're the victim of evil Internet people who don't like mothers who attack their children? Wow. Yup. You're the real victim. Not your baby boy. You.

You know you could be reported to Child Protection Services for this kind of abuse.
