she's awful, he's awful, and so am I.

Who are these white people that don't eat watermelon and fried chicken? That throws me off so bad everytime I read/hear it, like the most common fast food(even places that don't have burgers have some form of fried chicken, even Chinese food places) and a health food that's both massive and delicious are somehow only…

Yes yes yes. When fiancé and I first started dating, he had a pretty close female friend who I was super insecure about — she's really pretty, they work together, and she loves to flirt. I assumed (not knowing Mr. Panther that well yet and not expecting him to be as upstanding and wonderful as he is) that they had…

This is true, but I'd also warn against a couple spending so much time with friends that they barely spend time one on one. In my last relationship I was frustrated because he and I spent a lot of time with his friends, especially with his very special female friend, and it was nice but he and I barely went on dates…

UGH. This post and last night's pissing contest have dredged up a lot of things I'd forgotten about from the second LTR I had. Dude had so many female friends, and while a lot of them were cool to me, there were SO MANY inappropriate moments. Like the female coworker he used to hang out with all the time (and make fun…

I knew a lot of guys who did not want kids, but eventually I found a solid guy who wanted kids. The problem now is that after we've had one kid*, I'm not 100% sold on having another, but he wants at least one, if not two, more!

This Guy: "I want a baby so badly! I could cuddle it, take it for walks, give it baths, read to it, play peekaboo and marvel at its little laugh, name it after my grandfather/mother... have you seen those videos of babies that are like, SOOO happy when their dads get home from a normal day at work with adults? Can you…

They all dated me when I was single. I have no idea how it happened but I attracted "can't wait to start a family" types like bees to a flower bed and had to break it to a lot of fellahs I'd just met that I had no intention of being their dream womb.

TOTALLY!

Yup. I work for several families as a nanny/babysitter, and in every last one, no matter how great and involved dad is, whenever there's an issue it's mom's schedule or job that takes a hit. If I'm sick or having car troubles and can't make it? Dad goes about his business and mom has to scramble to find a replacement…

Homeboy wants kids but is not willing to make the sacrifices? Thats Grade-A bullshit right there.

At one point, she asked if he would consider quitting his job to be a stay-at-home father given how much he wanted a baby. "That just wasn't the plan he had in mind," she said.

She's about to snatch them both bald, yessir.

That was definitely the cherry on the sundae. Southern moms are adept at wielding military-grade guilt. Priceless.

Probably cause he knew she'd pull some master-class-level of mom-guilt like she did with the whole "I vote Democrat because of my autistic grandson." Drop the fucking mic!

"What was it like, raising these two?"
"It has not been easy." and then later, "I know we have to take responsibility for them."

I'm ROLLING.

She's so embarrassed by those two. That's the glorious part of all this. You can just picture her sitting there watching this, afraid the neighbors are all seeing her children duke…

LITERAL BEST MOM

This is why, even though I work in political communications and my boss keeps trying to get me to consider speaking publicly on the issue I spearhead - I DON'T WANT TO. My mom would absolutely call in and 1) tell me to sit up straight so everyone can see my pretty face, 2) disagree with me on points of policy, and 3)…

All I can think of is the hotel in Blue Valentine. And now I'm sad

Oh, boy. Um. This isn't about me. This is about someone I was (and still am) with.
