Ugh, that sounds exhausting. Sorry you have to go through that.

Seems like no one should have to explain that it is inappropriate, rude, and against hygiene standards to handle shit at a restaurant table.

It is beyond ridiculous to group Jussie Smollett and whatever the hell he tried to do with rapists and a murderer. Come on now.

Unless you’re estranged from your family, someone who is actually important to you will eventually meet your family—not right away, but it will happen, unless there are special circumstances about why it can’t or shouldn’t.

Um...you seem to be making an effort to pull an attitude with me in these comments. You got a problem?

That’s interesting. I have never heard it used that way even once, not in print or spoken out loud. Must be new.

Jojo is male, so not a “sis.”

I thought THE SAME THING. Gold.
