The one about the woman who plants them??

Could you ask the couple to seat you with other ppl attending the wedding without dates? I love the idea of two single women starting a friendship by getting drunk/snarky together at a wedding. I would be that person.

What she really needed to do was just wear the white dress she wears when she leaves in the helicopter.

Hey! My daughter is 3 and is already into some of these things. There’s a book I like called “My Mother Wears Combat Boots” that I read when I was pregnant — it’s a memoir and the woman has a similar situation to what you described, with her own daughter. I forget how she dealt with it, though, because now I have 0…

Thank you. Could you please write this article? // Canada needs its own Jezebel.

Agreed. My life would have been so different if I’d had a dad who would do that.

Yay padre pio!!

Read her autobiography! It’s so good. Came out a long time ago but really important for people who came around to Dolly later in life (I.e. me).

I don’t know what I would do in your shoes. But I hope i wpuld ride the waves of emotion. You feel angry? Be angry. You dont need to have a ‘right’ to feel anything. It’s a shitty thing he did.

PS reading over my last post, I feel like it comes off as bragging. I just mean to say that a man pulling his weight as a father should not be remarkable.

Oh wow. I promised myself I wouldn’t comment on sns tonight but I have to. Girl, this is BULLSHIT. You are working so hard. You are not being treated as a person. Everything you complained about is worthy of a huge confrontation. The thing I would do first and foremost is get into therapy myself. Your husbands…

I think that was definitely part of it. Look how she sticks around to film his reaction; she chose someone carrying a child for that purpose too. The kicking the kids running... That doesn’t look strategic to me. Its all horrible.

The first step to liking your dad is becoming OK with not liking your dad. It’s ok not to like your parents. When you are at peace with it, your relationship will be much less...sticky. He won’t bug you as much. And you can still love him, always, if you do (its also OK not to love your parents!).

Coffee. Chocolate. Or whatever other upper you so desire. And podcasts. And the song ‘housework makes me sick’ (we used to put it on when cleaning when I was a kid - two teenage daughters, one single mom, a ton of crap and that song, almost makes me misty-eyed to recall it). I’m so sorry you have been depressed. I…

This is so different, but also the same: I was a bartender after college, in a social club. Management refused to hire more bartenders (not sure why). I took a one week vacation and there was plenty of guilting, primarily about how my 3 fellow bartenders would suffer, picking up my shifts. I felt bad but when I really…

Funny, I was going to say the same thing (it is similar to my experience; I no longer eat because I feel antsy). Stimulant meds should not be abused. But for people with an underlying psychiatric condition (i.e. ADHD, likely to cause disordered eating, especially compulsive eating and bulimia), getting treatment can…

R u kidding?? She loves that cicada! That cicada is her friend!

Congrats! We just purchased a house as well, and it is quite an adventure. I’m also allergic to cats, and have had allergies in a place where the cat hasn’t lived for months. So I would say yes, do the ducts, rip up the carpet even if it means walking on plywood for the next while, and paint the walls (my sis just old…

Dude. Just spend a day in SF. The end is nigh.

Yes. This is what I did with my kids’ diapers.
