I wouldn't even DATE someone who played GTA.

Ohh wow. I didn't realize it was a whole thing with a guru and all. That's exactly what's happening - the kid is turning into an asshole. :(

That is AWESOME. I might use that someday...

One time I stole $5 from my mom, and she made me do chores for a week. I never stole money from her again. That was pretty damn effective!!

My best friend is nannying a 3 year old boy who likes to hit her. The parents don't do anything about it, and they won't let her tell the child "no." They also won't make him apologize for hurting people, because he wouldn't really mean it. She's currently looking for a new position.

I was spanked and I turned out fine DESPITE the spanking. But I was not fine in my early adulthood, and it took me a long time to work out my anger issues.

So, shaking children is really harmful... I recommend seeing a family therapist for ideas on how to discipline your child without hitting him! You have other options!

Right?? It was the worst! But I understand now why my parents did it. They were told, "You have to spank the sin out of them." Thanks Dobson...

Regarding the structure — SO TRUE. I was homeschooled, but my mother scheduled the week days in half hour increments. We did a lot of physical activities together, including riding bikes down the riverbed for an hour every single morning, no matter how cold it was. Certain days were for homeschool group things,…

I'm 27 with a 25 year old sister and a 9 year old sister. My 25 year old sister and I were raised with LOTS of spankings. As a strong-willed child, I got spanked at least once a week for misbehavior, but my younger sister was so compliant/submissive, she only got 1 spanking in her life.


My baby sister, on the other…

I got the Caramel deLites this year, and they were AMAZING.

My best friend started waist training at 13, and she still has an abnormally tiny waist! She was watching a documentary about Renaissance fashion, and just decided she wanted to do it. I think the younger you are, the better. And FWIW, I wouldn't have a problem with my daughters wanting to do waist training. I…

You have to lace corsets really tightly to get an accurate historical costume. Women did lace down to really tiny waists, historically. Wearing a corset for a few days and eating soup during shooting is not going to kill anyone.

That's me next month!!

Exactly! I don't think people really understand how corseting works.

You picked a good one. :)

Oh GOD, I hope Liberty doesn't get it!!!

I didn't realize women's colleges existed until I was almost done with my undergrad. I really wish I would have gone to one! But I was homeschooled, so my exposure to available colleges was like, Bob Jones etc.

Oh I know, right?? Whenever I see comments on here that sound remotely like a situation I was in, I'm like, "OMG IS THAT ME???"

So funny!
