Exactly. The fact that she said it out of spontaneous anger doesn't make it better, it makes it worse. It means she didn't even have to think about it before it slipped out of her mouth. Which, not for nothing, probably means she had had some practice using it before, and probably means it was part of her environment.…

Okay, I'm really concerned about her. All the VH1 "therapy/rehab" shows have truly terrible track records when dealing with domestic violence (see Dr. Drew encouraging Tom Sizemore to gaslight Heidi Fleiss and accuse her of not wanting to Tom to get better.) Couples therapy is NOT a recommended clinical intervention…

Paleo: the Renn Faire of diets - in no way accurate, but mostly harmless.

I occasionally ate tuna melts while pregnant. It just means my kid will probably go to state school instead of Yale, and I am cool with that. State school was good enough for mamma!

"SEAL Team 6" (that's not actually what they're called, I believe) consists of at least a couple of hundred of SEALs.

I think I'm with you here - Daario's personal (questionable) style tastes would be a little distracting in the context of the TV show.

I spent this whole article waiting for a Mean Girls reference that never came.

"In fact, extreme tightness is more likely to be vaginismus, not virginity"

Does anyone remember the show's early seasons? It was A) way better and B) way more realistic. I remember one in particular where they followed the survivor from the rape to the hospital, reporting the crime, rape kit, etc. and timing the hours it took to get through it. It was tough to watch, very bleak.

If I were a Lannister surrounded by all those gorgeous-looking Lannisters... ... well... I don't condone incest. I'm just saying...

While Catelyn deservedly gets a bad rap for her decision-making (usually relating to the Lannister family), that doesn't change the fact that she was totally correct in her motherhood diplomacy regarding Stannis and Renly acting like a couple of babies who just needed a time-out.

LOL. That is pretty damn funny. I'm sorry you're getting so much crap from everyone; coming from a pretty fun-loving and not so serious family myself, I totally love your story.

My son was convinced that me telling him to do his homework and his chores was 'bullying.' That was a fun conversation to have.

Agreed. It's mostly among the under 18 set, too. I had a coworker complain about being bullied at work, when I asked her to explain the stuff she described was all reasonable expectations to have for an employee, like not having your boyfriend hang around all shift or being asked to dust instead of stand around.

If that's bullying then everyone in my family should be traumatised haha

As a neutral observer, I would conclude that yes, you are indeed monsters. Technically not bullying, but the equivalent of psychological torture. The only thing I can think of that comes close is when my girlfriend interrupts my yawns on purpose.

My 10 year old son does the exact same thing.

Bravo.
