I was waiting for someone to bring this up. There are kids who throw tantrums and there are kids who act out because they are completely overwhelmed and can’t process stuff. There may not be a difference in general appearances, but the solutions are not the same. Parents with kids who don’t process stuff the same way…

It’s ok. It really is the little things that make an impression. One of my proudest parental moments was when I no longer had to check my kid’s bum to make sure they wiped properly.

Yep. I have to admit my first response is “THANK GOD THAT’S NOT MY KID”. Not because I am judging parenting techniques or think mine is any better than anyone else’s, but because I am just so relieved that’s not part of my parenting experience any longer. I would also like to note that people with kids having…

Lordy! You are envisioning a joyless dystopian wasteland. And you are well within your rights to do so.

At first I thought you wrote “bed” and was concerned for your safety. Under the shed is still a tiny bit alarming though.

Wow, quite the comments section on your last link. Holy shit-the cognitive dissonance is astounding. “I won’t use a picture of your mom as my avatar if you stop being a sketchy creep.” Perfect!

100% agree! My kid is now 18, and my dogs would be delighted to visit a farm of any sort- even better if there’s horse or cow shit lying around for them to eat...

My tears! I can only speak for myself.

Your description of Ms Linton is the only delightful thing about her. Jesus she’s terrible. No one should ever believe anything she says. She laid the groundwork for being extra scrutinized for truth when she wrote her “memoir” a while back.

Yep. Forget about the age math and live in the moment, dude! It sure seems to work for 17 year old snowboarders!

It’ll get strong competition from Half an Onion In a Bag. This is looking like a deep pool of qualified candidates.

YEP! My skin still crawls despite the many times I’ve heard this in the last 1+ years. Apparently I can’t get used to it, despite the exposure therapy of the daily news. I am ok with that, because this type of shit will never be normal, despite the attempts of the GOP to normalize pathological and predatory behaviour.

Please don’t take this the wrong way, but I would not accept a cherry pie made by your hand...

Yes. Their lives are very difficult. (not really!) They just have to sit down and not knock a person over in their eagerness to greet them. Overexcited 90 lb and 80 lb golden retrievers could cause serious injury. My parents encouraged overexcitement by flapping around and speaking in high voices and petting them when…

Awwww...Vanilla Ice ice baby. Who, from his wiki page that you inspired me to look up, has been a very busy dude in the last few years. Apparently now an official Juggalo and touring in a 90's music tour of sorts.

Oh man. I don’t know what would be worse. I am not sure why I have taken against this creative beardery. It’s nifty as a concept, though. It just needs the right model.

Came here to say pretty much the same thing. Sure you didn’t open a special delivery for ol’ Don Jr there, Vanessa?

That beard tho

Yep. I saw her tweeting as a diversion therapy. when you are scared/nervous before an absolutely HUGE event you do what you can to keep yourself calm. If that means tweeting, that’s just fine. Sitting on a bench/rail waiting your turn once you’re all geared up, taped the things that need taping, zipped the zips, heard…
