I really like the idea of a counterpoint article from the ex. That would be a valuable perspective.

Raising children is inexplicitly hard. Imagine how hard it must be to have all these burdens AND have your children live with you full-time as a single parent. I’d love to read an article by your ex to hear about her trials as a single mother raising 3 children on one income, how she manages childcare issues, making…

Yup, raising kids is very expensive and very hard.

Well, just speaking from my own experience, I use credit cards - but I’m not allowed to pass the interest on to him. I understand why, but it’s tough since I wouldn’t have that debt if he were on time.

No I saw that too but that’s like two things. You telling me the ONLY non-writing jobs he could get was UPS or pot farming? If true, then fine I guess. But that’s not what he says. He doesn’t say he’s been sending out 50 resumes a week to regular jobs and can’t get hired. He just mentions writing and these two random…

Me, as a child-support paying divorced mom with 50/50 physical custody, who still buys school uniforms and new shoes and haircuts for my kids because my ex-husband won’t.

I’m probably being a huge asshole but I have trouble understanding how the non-custodial parents not paying child support are the victims here.

People need to be called out for making sexist comments, but I feel like a lot of people have been resigning or getting fired for them. That feels a little counterproductive to me. I’d rather people learn their lesson and keep their job. Teach the lesson you learned the hard way to everyone else in your industry.…

Did you know....

how often do you choose to drive 1,500 miles in which stopping for 30 minutes every 3hrs or so of driving is a big issue?

That one inch fetus has some truly disproportionate feet.

That...is not what 10-week fetus feet look like!

That's how I am with Bones

After they killed Derek? The show became poetry. The episode from last night had the VERY FIRST patient Meredith ever encountered from the pilot episode. It was so gratifying as a viewer to watch!

I’m baffled by this myself. My GF says its because way too many of ‘us’ aren’t doing our homework and voting solely on name recognition and who our pastor says to vote for. I don’t totally disagree.

Has there been any insight into why she does so well with African American voters given her spotty history regarding their interests? It seems so bizarre to the point of being baffling.

It’s legal to donate a kidney, but not for someone to cut a kidney out of you without your consent. I think that’s the kind of law that should be in effect here.

I love my gaudy ring

I appreciate your willingness to write a story that reflects deep ambivalence. I think there isn’t enough of that anymore (everything is always strident and polarized) but you did a great job sitting with the murkiness of what this all means about Bowie’s legacy.

“...you can understand how Lori Maddox could have possibly developed not just a sincere desire to fuck adult men but the channels to do it basically in public; why an entire scene encouraged her, photographed her, gave her drugs that made all of it feel better, loved her for it, celebrated her for it, for years. You…
