It really sounds like this film is exactly what your would expect for a movie about motherhood written by men. There’s a lot to explore when it comes to being a ‘bad’ mom in a culture where mothering trends tend to keep women tied to their babies for longer and longer (extended breastfeeding, co-sleeping, etc), yet…

As a person who doesn’t have a child yet, I agree with you. Moms now loooove to play the martyr role when it comes to being a mom. At the same time, I can see why maybe some people would want this type of movie to be made, if it was made to truly make fun of those uptight mom types who take it way too seriously? My…
Yeah those stories are really telling because he reverts to some emotionally stunted 10 year old when he really gets called out because you are not playing the game his way.
Reminds me of this article, especially this paragraph:
I think this is one of the best explanations. The stories about him blatantly cheating at golf and getting super pissed at being called out on it kinda foreshadow this (from a GQ profile during the primaries I think).
His own ghostwriter, Tony Schwartz, said as much: “Lying is second nature to him.”
I’m no psychologist but I have worked for the obscenely wealthy and it is different than a pathological liar. When you are as rich, spoiled and sheltered as trump your perception of reality is altered by the fact that everyone around you is paid to say yes to everything you do and say. So when you say something that…
I’ll go further than that, I believe he’s a malignant narcissist (or narcissistic sociopath), and that malignant narcissists increasingly seem to occupy many [if not most] of the top positions within the GOP. Birds of a feather...
When has he EVER suffered a consequence for his lies, tho? Never. So he’s just bullshitting. No big deal, really. Anyhoo, who wants to have dinner at Sixteen in the Trump Tower? He could set that up. Best chef ever. He stole that chef from a 8 Michelin starred restaurant in Paris. He’s YUGE! After dinner, you can tour…
I’m starting* to think Trump is a pathological liar. He constantly lies about trivial things, his lies are instantly and easily exposed, yet he continues on as if nothing happened. Take for instance all the supposed speakers at the convention. Right after he says Big Ben and Tebow will be there, it’s immediately shot…
Of course he’s full of shit, every single thing he says is a stupid lie. He’ll never debate Clinton in any kind of real neutral setting, he’ll only do it if he can arrange for a moronic circus scene full of screeching idiots who roar over his spastic twitching and dopey insults. He’s a grade-A coward, a sleazy punk, a…
God that hurts so much more, and I’m not even one of them. Do better you clowns, for all of us. Much shame.
Tim Kaine isn’t mad at the Republican party, he’s just disappointed.
This has been my favorite internet picture circulating:
I want a wonk for Prez. I think they’re the best at it.
What a time to be alive.
One thing I will say for her, HRC is* a slightly off-putting nerd and, as a socially awkward and much less intelligent, less educated, more apathetic dweeb, I sympathize. I don’t mind a wonk for pres. Better than a beer-swilling New Englander with a ten-gallon hat and a coke-powdered nose (or, as in this election, an…
My grandmother was 89 when she passed away a month ago and in hospice at the end when she was starting to be pretty unaware and we knew it would be over soon we just went ahead and told her Hillary had been elected and my grandmother, the lifelong democrat who went back to college in her 40s, was so happy. So we need…
I won't lie, I teared up when she cast her votes.
