You’re right, I misread. I kind of forgot about Clooney being a long time bachelor, just sort of figured Amal looked at him differently I guess? I mean I don’t think it’s terrible that she’s surprised or anything, it’s just the top question for me when I think about having kids - would I be a good parent? Good enough…

That’s true, especially about Clooney being a long term bachelor. Congrats to you and your partner, I’m sure you’re raising a wonderful little peanut!

Your statement is really genuine and sweet. And more than just “he’s good!” Amals answer just struck me as odd. But maybe she was caught off guard or didn’t want to gush about it or get into detail. Who knows! I just expected something else I guess. I think about having kids and whether or not my partner and I would…

Idk what she meant by good. I mean, I just think it’s an odd thing to be surprised by, that’s all. Maybe he is a great parent, above and beyond and involved in everything. That sounds like more than good to me though. I’m glad they’re happy raising their kids! The statement was just weird to me, maybe because I’m torn…

I mean, you saw nothing within yourself that made you think “yeah I could raise a decent kid”? You just thought “well who knows if I can do this but I’m gonna do it anyway!” I’m not saying parenting is easy but most people, when they plan* to have families, think about the logistics of whether they’d be capable and…

That’s true. I would just think that before starting a family you’d think “hey is this right for us?” Instead of just, ya know, doing it.

Because I’d think you see qualities in yourself and your partner that would lead you to believe that you’d be a good parent. Empathy for others, patience, responsibility, etc. Yes, going into parenthood and realizing the most surprising thing about your partner is that they’re good at it is weird. i wouldn’t have a…

I wouldn’t want to have kids with someone who surprises me by being a good father. I’d want to assume ahead of time that they’d be a good father. Having a kid and then going “oh wow you’re actually good at this?” Is weird to me. Although I don’t have millions of dollars to support childcare care if the dad slacked off.

Same. It would have been a more accurate description too

The comment I responded to referenced Kanye’s lyric about wanting to have sex with Taylor. I know he didn’t mention the “famous” line..... Just like Taylor forgot to mention she okayed the line about them having sex.

That’s true, but her camp still lied about how it went down. “According to a message supplied to EW from Swift’s rep, “Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his single ‘Famous’ on her Twitter account. She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message.…

Yeah she heard the line in the song. Kanye called her and she approved it. And she thanked him for asking before going forward with it.

“you hurt me today”

Holy shit this is now my favorite thing on the internet

Lololol dying at this. Although brunch would hit the spot right now...

I feel like she’s having her Justin Bieber moment where she’s trying to grow up and switch genres/personas but damn it’s just not working for me. Which is good cuz I didn’t wanna like her anyway.

I’m glad I’m not the only one! I’ve been feeling kinda guilty about it too, even though I told my fiance and he was just like “huh weird” haha. Congrats to you and I hope you have a wonderful wedding!

It is exhausting. It sounds like you’re really trying though, and you should be proud of yourself for that. I hope you take some time to congratulate yourself on your wins!

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve tried that podcast but unfortunately the guy’s voice drives me insane! Lol
