Same here. I thought she had more taste than that.

Yeah, I’m kind of loving them and want a pair. Now.

I was thinking he looked like his mother! Either way, I hadn’t realised they’d finally cut his hair. He’s adorable but it’s not long before he’ll murder her for posting anything about him on social media.

I was reacting the same way. She murdered a baby and while there may be circumstances that we don’t know about people are really lining up to make excuses.

This is an Australian survey? I’ve always found that Australia is not the most advanced nation when it comes to relations between the sexes.

I grew up in the 70s and 80s and you are so so wrong.

Blah blah blah blah blah. I was married/with my partner for more than 20 years. We squabbled about dumb shit and argued over more dumb shit. I divorced him because he was a cheater. When my kids ask me about it now I can only say that nothing was insurmountable other than his wandering peen. Obliviously I’m slightly…

My work used to take me to a number of athletic meets and I always laughed because every time a high jumper or a long jumper or a pole vaulter messed up they all did the same ‘grab face, bend over, look pained’ thing before standing up to clap hands above their head, expected crowd to do the same. Also, most of them…

I think dlisted had a great last line for that poem:

I have to agree to an extent. If he is tone deaf on the subject I wouldn’t marry him because once all the big costs come along - home, kids, etc - you’re going to find there is more trouble and problems than you bargained for.

You are smart and will be happy you chose to live this way. Sticking to your budget and living within your means is the best gift you can give yourself. Also, I hope you’re able to squirrel away a bit each month for emergencies.

If we kept our finances separate I’d consider it, but only if they had a serious plan already in action as to how to deal with their debt. Basically I would never mix my money with someone else, other than for a mortgage or similar. Too many people end up screwed over when they mix finances. Be smart. And keep your…

He got what he wanted: face time in the press.

Was about to write the same thing. Meat and cinnamon is delicious. Cinnamon schnapps and meat not so much.

I once got the shits on a plane. We had just been seated, I was horribly hungover and damn if I didn’t need to go that very second. Toilets were not yet open but I grabbed a flight attendant and said, ‘I’ve got a really heavy period and if I don’t change my tampon right now I’m going to bleed all over this seat.’ She…

Shoes off is fine, as if you’re taking any kind of lengthy flight it’s recommended you remove them. But socks off? No way.

You’re making your salads wrong, then. A variety of leaves, some feta, seeds, nuts, avocado, cottage cheese, onion, edamame, perhaps some meat or fish in you’re so inclined and bingo, big meal, feel full.

He was kicked out of the country and the chances of his visa being reinstated are, apparently, not great. But yes, he could try. As far as giving passports to a third party, this is not unheard of in international custody cases, particularly when the case if highly contentious.

It’s not about money, it’s about bureaucracy. It’s doable, of course, but not as simple as saying, ‘Hey, I’m moving overseas!’ One of my applications for an overseas move took months and months, along with an army of lawyers and other people to help. I’m really saying this because I see a lot of comments, whenever…

Is that her mother still lurking in the background of her life?
