Totally read that as “Rachel Ray” and was deep into a WTF before I read it again.

You know Beyonce just lets Rita Ora just drape herself all over her husband and doesn’t say a word because she’s Beyonce, and is not threatened. Nor should she be. Sit down, Rita. God.

For someone so dismissive of her, it’s obvious that you write Bey’s name enough to know how to get the accent over the e. Sit down, Rita.

That would be pretty awesome, actually. I can imagine Hova posing with EVOO during the cooking segments.

Can you just imagine though? Rachael Ray and Jay Z, secret celebrity couple. I’m into it.

Perhaps, but she probably would have faced an even more obstructionist GOP because in addition to being Black she’s a woman.

Some chicken is that delicious, especially some fried chicken (made by someone who knows what they are doing) and roasted whole chicken with crackling skin (boy, I am making myself hungry...).

I intentionally live in a different state than my parents, who oddly live in a different than their relatives. I don’t think they understand that this is a repeating cycle.

My mother refused to pay for college applications to any school other than the local university. When I met my future husband she and told her I would be moving several hours away she called him up and told him that I was just using him to get away from her. Anything I do differently from her in my life is a personal…

You need to stop responding to people on this thread. You continue to vouch for peoples’ mothers, yet you never experienced what they did. These posters have very difficult stories to share. This is not the thread for you.

Sammmme boat. Every card I’m like, “ummm, no.” Best part is, the woman who raised me, physically and emotionally abused me my entire childhood /teen years until I married at 20 just to escape her, the woman who flat out insisted when we tried group counseling that yes, it’s perfectly normal to argue with a 3 year old,…

Are you my mom perhaps? Cuz that’s some next level martyr shit right there. I do get what you mean. I do. It’s hard to be a single parent and provide in all the ways kids need it. But there is a difference between being drained and trying to actively balance everything that needs done and take care of your mental…

LOL— I went through the same thing last night! Standing in front of that card rack, picking up each card, then putting it back muttering, “Oh, you bet!” Fortunately, I’ve gotten to the point where it makes me giggle at how silly the whole Day is.

You are an awful human being. Stop trolling these posts. If you genuinely can’t understand that people have bad relationships with their mothers and that this weekend is especially hard for them, then you need to learn some basic fucking empathy. Go the fuck away.

You don’t know the full story of the choices this person had to make, so you should dial it back on the judgment.

SUNDAY FUNDAY!

I finally cut ties with my mother almost 2 years ago, after realizing that I felt pure panic whenever her number came up on my phone. The final straw was, when at my father’s funeral, she spotted my brother (who ALSO doesn’t speak to her, and hasn’t for 20 years now, imagine that) and started trying to get me to weigh…

I would very much like to come to your house and get drunk and tell you why my mother is nuts.

Hey Jezzies.

My mom tried to run me over with her car at Christmas and I have only spoken to her once since then. And somehow I feel like the piece of shit in this whole situation.
