Aggggghhh my mother RUINED my curly hair by brushing it/making me brush it regularly as a child. Like, I didn’t know I had curly hair until probably 8th grade because I always automatically brushed it out after I washed it. And then she would legit yell at me when I tried to wear it curly because it “looked like I…

My mom’s hair was stick-straight, and I got my dad’s ridiculous mop. She had no idea how to deal with it. And so it took me until probably my mid-20’s to figure out how to make peace with it.

My mom emphasized...well, not sure. Grades to some degree but really she had a rough childhood and could not really emote well until her grandkids came along. However, my dad was about intelligence and looks. Not always in that order. So there were times when he thought he was being “constructive” but ended up being…

My mom is SHOCKED that I started wearing my hair curly - willingly - in college after straightening it for 5 years. I still straighten it now but I'd call it a 50/50 split

Pretty sure this Pissing Contest answers the article last week, that asked if you should tell your child they are beautiful.

My dad used to joke when I had braces that all I needed in addition to those railroad tracks were glasses and then I would never find a husband.

“If you’d just BRUSH your hair more often it would look good!”

As she was putting the turkey on the table for Thanksgiving dinner, “It’s a Butterball, just like Missy.”

Dad when I was 15: “You could stand to lose a few...” I was around 135 then...and I’m 5’7”.

Ugh. I think I’m out on this one. It makes me sad to read these.

I’m at least as old as you thought. My memory is just shot.

That's my plan

Off-topic aside: THANK you for spelling “supersede” correctly. That’s become such a rarity, it’s a positive relief to see it!

I don’t live quite like a miser, but I still kind of hope to do this some day. I don’t have, and won’t have children, so I like to imagine that like a dear friend of mine kind of ‘adopted’ me as her mentee when I was a young BeeAtch just starting out in business, that one day I’ll find a mentee. And leave her/him all…

Great band name. Shreddy Actions.

Still boggles my mind on how so many acclaimed people could be in such a cyst from Hell. It had to have been blackmail. Had to be.

Bridge of Terabithia was marketed so badly to capitalize on the Harry Potter craze. I watched it on cable expecting a stupid children’s fantasy movie but what it was was so much more than that. It had a more adult theme of dealing with loss and I was pleasantly surprised.

I know the advertising was misleading but Bridge to Terabithia was surprisingly decent regardless.
