Look. I have a baby. I get the compulsion to do that. And if that really works for you, great. This is terrifying. But the odds are really on your side here. Every single day is a risk, but harm is more likely to come to your baby in about 10,000 other ways than if you leave him in the car for 10 seconds. Get a grip,…
Eh. I have a 6 month old, and while I use pay-at-pump gas stations 99% of the time, I have left him sleeping in the locked car to do quick things, like dropping the dog off at doggie daycare (takes about 30 seconds). Everything with babies is a risk calculation—this woman just had shitty luck (and should have taken…
I think I've debated this issue with that commenter before, if I'm not mistaken. She's very gung ho about it, there's no sense arguing. But I'm with you—not the mother's fault.
Pretty much ALL "baby in peril" stories hurt me in the heart since I had a baby. They hurt me before too, but omg. Shit, my 6 month old had a minor cough this morning, and every single time he let out a little cough I just about lost my shit. The thought of him alone in the grass in his seat for TWO DAYS (seriously is…
TL;DR - Kinja is the worst. Don't feed trolls.
Patterson's decision to turn his name into a franchise and allow any hack writer to barf up a "thriller" and put his name on it (with the actual author's name in super small print) was about the grossest money-grabbing display ever. Especially when you know there are lots of old ladies and men who love Patterson's…
Most stay at home moms I know laugh hysterically at your notion of all their "free time" for pleasure reading. It's probably more like retired people. Also, why are Danielle Steele books any more or less offensive than more "manly" but equally shitty books like the 10,000 crap novels "James Patterson" pumps out in a…
Yep. I've called my baby an asshole, and he obviously has very little control over his behavior. I regret nothing.
Totally agree, can't understand why people are misreading your post. I took my husband's name, and I'm fine with it—but it still pisses me right the fuck off when we get invitations or whatever addressed to Mr. and Mrs. HisFirstName OurLastName. Like, WTF.
Not excusing the truly shitty things he said, but it's possible he is still a generally nice/cool person, just incredibly immature. Which wouldn't surprise me, based on his personality on the show—he seems like kind of a dim bulb. A lot of that read like he just didn't understand the point people were making towards…
Yeah, that's how I took the joke, that she should've just blown him. I was asking why you don't believe her when she says that's what the joke was.
Is there any reason we don't believe her when she says in the very tweets you quote that the joke was "should've been a hummer?" That's a joke, while not very funny to me personally, that I at least see as a joke. I don't get what anyone would find humorous in saying a kid should've been aborted, and I can enjoy…
Why would you say that? Saying a kid "should've been a hummer" is somewhat chuckle worthy. Saying a kid "should've been aborted" is not funny at all. Sounds like something the Man vs Food guy would say to someone who hurt his feelings on Instagram.
Oh, brother. Let me guess, you're an anti-vaxxer, right? Pharmaceutical companies aren't the devil. And doctors aren't their puppets. And even if they were, they wouldn't attempt to act out that puppetry by cornering a 12 year old and pushing certain drugs. FFS.
You have to be a special kind of paranoid to assume the conversation would be anything BUT those types of questions. What do you think they're going to say? "Want to buy some Vicodin?" Please.
I'm a parent, and I agree with gourmet goober 10000%. Just commented with the same question—are these people that insecure about their parenting abilities that they really think a short conversation with a stranger will send their kids running out to fuck the first person they see?
What I don't get about these parents is that they must believe their parenting is truly shitty if a five-minute conversation with a stranger about birth control options will completely unravel 17 years of "SEX IS BAD DON'T EVAR HAVE SEX" parenting/brainwashing.
I love Thomas Crown Affair, and that character is awesome. I love her rapport with Denis Leary's character. And omg, the clothes! That cat burglar outfit with the lace-up boots she wears when they break into his house? To die for.
That's what I was thinking. I've definitely been to more than 20 weddings, and I'm 34. And that's probably not even counting the ones I don't remember as well because I was someone's guest rather than friends with the bride and groom.
