Right? Like, don’t worry about me anyone, I’ll just be over here on the mat mostly unconscious....

Agree. Taylor Swift is cute or whatever, but if you watch her appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s “Ew” skit, that’s actually closer to what she really looks like.

Gal Gadot. Hands down the most beautiful woman in film right now.

I totally agree. I think this is what made Hush so scary (for me). If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend (not the dumb Gwyneth Paltrow verson, the 2016 one)

This isn’t cute, or sweet, or charming... it is straight up gross, and if I were her I would’ve been out of there immediately. This will be a great story (and lesson) for their daughter... “Well see, honey, I decided that mommy didn’t deserve her body autonomy anymore, so I made the unilateral decision to invade her…

“Getting a thank you note is a treat, not a receipt”. Wow. Unless things have drastically changed, when someone gives you a gift, you FUCKING THANK THEM. If you’re too busy to write a two second note and affix a $.46 stamp, don’t accept the gifts in the first place.

I totally understand this. Whenever he comes on the radio or TV, I say, out loud “Oh, fuck you!”, and then change the station. I fear for my sanity otherwise.

Years ago my ex-husband’s cousin had a fancy Christmasy wedding. The invitations went out, and my then brother in law RSVP’d that there would be six people from his family attending (himself, his wife, and their four small children). His cousin wasted no time letting them know that, nope, all six of them would NOT be…

Right, so it affects your score if you DON’T PAY, much like any other financial obligation. I get how it works, and that doesn’t change the fact that a lawyer advising their client not to seek support because it could impact the would-be payers credit is absolutely bogus.

I know, I totally get what you’re saying. It sounds like in this case even though they struck a side deal the father still ended up being a deadbeat, and I would argue that in that case it’s better to have a support order in place, and if he ends up in arrears and then jail, oh well (but I’m kind of petty that way!).

Nope, you’d be fine. My father’s wife’s son (whom I refuse to refer to as my stepbrother) pulled something similar, and was standing in the middle of his room holding a very real looking air rifle (I may have that wrong, but it was a very real looking fake gun) when the police opened the door. The responding officer…

Right, but to say that it “fucks up your credit” is is not exactly accurate. Any financial obligation, be it credit cards, student loans, car payment, etc... is legally owed and therefore not optional, and for a lawyer to use that as an excuse to dissuade a client from seeking support she is entitled to, is wrong.

Your friends lawyer was garbage. Who advises their client not to seek support? And a mandated order has zero impact on your credit score.

Part of the logic maintains that the child should enjoy a similar lifestyle in both parents’ houses. Right now there are no mandates that state the the parent receiving support has to demonstrate that the money is being spent on the child, so in reality Chyna could use the cash for essentially whatever she wants.

“I still feel like a failure no matter how much I succeed. My critical inner voice is my mother. ALL THE TIME” All of this. I’ll occasionally throw myself a small pity party and wonder what my life would be and what I could have accomplished if I didn’t have a mother who made it clear that I would never amount to…

That was my parenting strategy as well!

I didn’t “break up” with my mom, per se, but there were several years-long periods of no contact, followed by other periods of limited contact and conversations limited to superficial topics. She hated me, for reasons I’ll never understand, and even though I’m now a 40+, successful, happily married mom of two amazing…

My mother in laws partner is transgendered, and she is amazing. She has been disowned by her children, and when her mother passed away she had to read about it in the paper. What she has overcome to be who she is, is astounding. Even she admits that because of the fact that she was able to retain her job, and most of…

No. No. No. She isn’t relatable because her experience transitioning was NOTHING like that of a “regular” person who goes through it. She was never in danger of losing her job, becoming homeless, and being disowned by her family. Her self appointed position of representative of all persons transgendered was both…

Fuck off.
