I was hoping that her makeup would be a good match for Caribbean black women.

Aww. That’s very sweet. Sometimes I long to feel that parent-child bond and other times I just think I’ll be crap at it. Glad to hear that your husband is such a good father. That really warms my heart :)

This is an interesting perspective for me to consider as well. Thank you.

My God, this spoke to me. My father was extremely neglectful after my mother died and I grew up so pained by it all. Now I’m in my 30s, still putting off motherhood and just focusing on nurturing that little girl. I’ve never been able to put my feelings into words but this is it. Thanks.

That line about the dialysis machine made me burst out laughing so loudly. Thanks. He is awful!

Did these people attend university in the early 1900s? Working part time during the school year and full time during the summer was barely enough for books and living expenses.

I think vitamin A is fat soluble, not water, and won’t be peed out.

Agreed

On top of the fact that they rented her a Times Sq apt because her own NYC apt was too far for them to be certain she’d make it on time. So much money spent for this.

It does sound like too much expense to go and be lonely. The side celebration at a later date is a great idea. Thanks.

I have no idea and I’m trying not to be offended but it does seem to be more than an oversight.

I’ll ask him. Will be awkward but less so than telling my boyf who has already paid for their gift and reserved the hotel.

It was addressed to me. There was a note about being careful to note who exactly it was addressed to so as not to have extraneous guests. Also, be sure to leave your kids at home.

Hmmm. That’s a strange way of doing so but perhaps you’re right.

Good idea. Will ask if he can come later. Still awkward though.

I’m going to casually ask.

He had previously mentioned something about her wealthy parents paying for it so he didn’t get to invite many people but damn.

It’s a huge wedding. He’s been discussing it with me for months.

Is it strange that a close friend invited only myself to his wedding and not my boyfriend of 3 years? We were preparing to purchase our flights when I realized our error. Now I have to have an awkward conversation with my man. *shrug*

Don’t depress me yet. Isn’t New Year’s eve and day part of the holiday season?
