It comes and goes but 15 years after my first kid and there is definitely leakage.

I’m a U2 hater as well but have to give this big respect. (Although it made feed Bono’s messiah complex)

I remember coming across her line in Australia at David Jones of all places. It was on the bargain rack.

When oh when will that limp, pseudo ‘beachy’ hair go away? It’s what every Real Housewife has and it’s boring. That and the beards. Please, can both just get past their sell-by date?

Totally agree, but also know that parents aren’t perfect and do and say dumb shit, just like their offspring. I cannot tell you how many parents I have heard say to their teens, when said teen is being an asshole, ‘Seriously? You’re going to treat me like this after all I’ve done for you?’. It’s kind of stupid but I…

Hahaha! Sorry, but that made me laugh. I don’t know the details but I’m hoping it’s just because your mother was worried.

I’m not so sure .If the kid is paying for it himself then fine, do what he wants, but if they’re shelling out 50 grand a year then they do have the right to some sort of accountability from him as far as how he’s getting on with school. If he doesn’t want that accountability then he should fork out the cash himself.…

Yikes... does your son know you’re going to be separating? That might be a challenge for him to deal with, along with his first year of school.

It sucks your mum lost it a bit when she realised you were on your way into your adult life but unless she went completely bonkers try to cut her a bit of slack. She raised you for all those years and her heart was probably breaking at the thought of not being a daily part of your life anymore. Maybe she didn’t handle…

Just said pretty much the same thing before I read yours. Parents need to vent as well. And kids can be ungrateful. It passes.

I don’t know. She’s a mum who is venting anonymously and probably vomiting all the ‘ungrateful kid’ thoughts that are racing around her brain. As a parent of teens these thoughts are pretty regular, because teens tend to be pretty ungrateful and you end up thinking, ‘Seriously? After all I’ve done for you you’re going…

He used to be cute (although the nose/nostril issue always gave me pause) but now that he’s had some work done he looks vague. Or more vague than usual.

Oh, the perfect new relationship... how they love to tell their ex’s about it. I got a bit of that and was all, ‘Yeah, that’s nice. Let me know how that works out.’.

Yep, after my ex and I split he told me within weeks that his new relationship was serious. Granted, he’d been seeing her for at least six weeks before our split but seriously, bus? Two months and it’s serious? Especially when he was banging other women as well at the time? Seems my ex can’t be alone and will latch on…

I’ve thought about this in relation to my ex. A friend who went through a divorce said she had to admit that if push came to shove she knew her ex would never have been there for her (she divorced him due to his cheating). When I look back at my marriage (which ended due to his cheating) I realise it’s true for me as…

Is he wearing lipstick? He always looks like he’s wearing lipstick. Or some sort of coloured balm.

That’s not actually true. Life expectancy hasn’t really increased all that much, it’s that infant mortality has reduced greatly - that’s what skews the numbers. So living to just say 70 has been the norm for much longer than we realise.

Make sure she has an airtight prenup, because if she’s giving up her career to support his she can get screwed, no matter whether she has kids or anything else.

Good point. I know a guy going through his second divorce due to a cheating wife. All he wants is a nice family and I think he looks past the red flags and grabs any woman who is interested. Which is weird because he’s handsome, successful, charming, and a generally really nice, kind person. He’s finally realising…

Guaranteed he blamed her for not making him feel like a special bunny 100% of the time. I’ve been happily single for the last 5 years. Am now just starting to date and see it as ‘Well, if we have a good time and find some mutual respect and love then MAYBE we can hang out.’. I’m in no hurry. Divorce is nothing I ever…
