Your story is beautiful - thank you for sharing.

And she should have to go through the emotional turmoil of being pregnant (I went through two pregnancies that I wanted and it was emotional Hell from the end of the first trimester until six months after I delivered), as well as a painful process of giving birth, and the excess medical costs. There's a lot to it.

Oh she was full-blown crazy. She went AWOL during the summer administrative period (like she said she was going to lunch and didn't return). After her husband confirmed she was not missing, she showed up that October (!!) and was surprised that they hired a replacement while she was out.

My brother cried over it because they used the word 'simpleton'

Ugh,Caillou is the worst. He whines way too much.

Ah, Cormier is just too much. I still remember being in 7th grade and reading I am the Cheese and having my mind completely blown by the fact that Adam was just riding his bicycle around a mental facility the whole time.

Love reading that one to my kids, solely because I have it memorized and don't have to do any real work. Sorry kiddo, but at 7:00 on a Friday night your mom just wants to watch TV and eat nachos, not read an exciting new story.

I hate The Giving Tree for one reason: we had a crazy-ass principal my eighth grade year. I get that eighth graders are little monsters, but she just couldn't handle the pressure. She would frequently corral us into the auditorium, read us The Giving Tree, and then explain how she was the tree and we were all the…

That is just so bad. This girl needs a lot of help.

I haven't been either, so you may be correct.

I read that as "overweight emotionally".

Would you prefer cookies? or pastries? I'm pretty flexible with my baking skills.

What is it with people going on about feminists being akin to Nazis? I got referred to as a Nazi yesterday on Gawker (of course followed by a chant of 'Go Back to Jezebel'), and now Duggar's FIL comes out with this?

I hate the fact that they are blaming the accountant. I know a few private accountants who have former clients who are in jail for embezzlement, racketeering, etc. They all say that they explicitly advised their clients not to do certain maneuvers outside of GAAP and every single one of these clients swore that their…

Seriously, their poor kids. First they have an angry, narcissistic mom and an alcoholic father - and now they're parent-less because of their parents' selfishness.

YAY!!!!

Especially chickens - they are the worst. I raised chickens for a while, and they are total assholes. I love eggs, but nothing on this planet will convince me to raise a chicken again

I've heard that dog isn't bad. My friend's father was an Admiral in the Navy and was served it while deployed in Korea. I have to imagine that horse, like deer and elk, is tough and needs to be slow-cooked.

When I worked at a Vet's office we had someone with a Russian Wolfhound who only fed her dog vegan products and couldn't understand why her dog was malnourished.

Swans are assholes - I hate them.
