I decide mainly on the negative reviews. 1,500+ positive reviews? Yeah sure but what did the 72 negative reviews say???

From now on, if I wonder how people could abandon their kids, I’ll think of this story.

The advice seems aimed at “normal” frustrations. Catherine’s kids seem astronomically out of control. What the heck does a family do when it gets that bad???

That’s not really true. If it were, all students would have the same grade, be it A or B or F. Everyone is different, from skill, to language literacy, to f***s they give in writing the assignment.

You can have the best teacher in the world and it won’t help a student who doesn’t care.

What grade do you teach? This article sounded like high school students, but then I don’t know if this happens in college too.

So here we are in America, where people are trapped in logical roundabouts and “that’s your opinion” as if we were talking about ice cream and not racial injustice. We’re up against people who are brainwashed. How DO you get through? It’ll probably be a long process, but what does that process look like?

Techbro and dudebro are specific sets of attitudes that represents a person. Like Valleygirl or “Jersey Shore” describes a set group of people, not the entirety of that gender or state.

And what is the DEAL with the whole “well back in the day...” Who gives a shit? As you sit in front of a computer in an air…

There is no *one* problem, there are many, and we can work on any of those. My point in the beginning is that society starts, at a young age, telling women what they *can* and *can’t* do, through various avenues. (Here’s an article about video games, but it’s the same thing. TLDR don’t be surprised that when you…

For me it’s “friend who are family” as in, friends who we’ve grown up together, etc. So we’ve all known each other 5 or 7 or 10+ years before they had a kid.

Here’s a good one. As they say in the article, “women’s biology didn’t suddenly change in the 1980s.”

Also, why so many people are rolling their eyes at the “science.” TLDR it’s old hat that’s pulled out anytime someone wants a…

So you don’t want to read women’s experiences to understand women’s experiences, to understand why something other than “biology” is why women aren’t as present in certain situations?

There’s a cool place where I live that.s an indoor play structure, with a cafe that serves beer and wine and food. That’s fun as an adult, because all the kids are on the play structure, and all the adults are sitting in big comfy chairs relaxing.

As the non-kid household, parents don’t want to come by with their kids. They want to play on their turf, which makes sense, but that puts me back at square one.

Friends and family did this. Friends who are considered family, etc.

You said asking you to read was smug and condescending, yet you threw the same thing back at me. Are YOU this dense? Why do you think it’s GOOD that you don’t agree with me, but it’s BAD that I don’t agree with you?

You thought I was being smug and condescending when I asked you to read up, so I guess you are being smug and condescending in asking me to read.

I think the same of you. You dare us to read up and come to our conclusions, yet asking you to do the same is smug and condescending.

So me reading up on him is me is experiencing thoughts that aren’t my own is considered educating myself....

But you reading up on experiences that reflect my own is smug and condescending to you?

Did I say every woman? I didn’t. It is a common experience among women. And if “reading up” is smug to you, then why are you surprised you “missed some big meeting or something”?

You should read what you wrote—just because my experience isn’t *your* experience, doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen to other people.
