Thank you so much for going dress shopping in NYC and picking dresses that the rest of America can afford. I rolled my eyes when I saw what city you were shopping in, but this article pleasantly surprised me. Especially after looking at $3000 sheaths in Brides magazine all day. Really glad there are some good picks…

I went to one and only one dress appointment. My future mother-in-law and sister-in-law arrived 30 minutes before the start time (unbeknownst to me until I arrived), and picked out all the dresses I was “allowed” to try on. Most resembling both of their wedding gowns (late 70s and Disney Princess, respectively). I…

Oof. You poor thing.

“You wear the dress; the dress is not allowed to wear you.” - This is the essential lesson of all fashion, not just wedding gowns.

When picking out a wedding dress, I have one piece of advice: Just because you are a bride does not mean you all of a sudden can magically wear silhouettes that never looked good on you before.

There are so many beautiful dresses and so much variety, yet I always see brides wear a variation of the same strapless dress. They never really look that different from other brides. My sister had picked such a gorgeous design at first. And then ended up opting for... A strapless dress with the fluff and the corset,…

Chris Brown wanting his daughter makes me think of my in laws wanting to spend time with my kids. Sure, it’s real nice that they seem all into being grandparents. But they only like the idea of being grandparents - the photos and the bragging they get to do. When it comes to actually caring for my kids, changing…

“Do these females think I’m MADE of gold-pressed latinum???”

“Highest praise to men who actually want their kids.” OH YES GOOD JOB YOU DESERVE ALL THE PRAISE FOR “ACTUALLY WANTING” YOUR KID AUUUGHHHH I HAVE NO PATIENCE TODAY.

Huh. And some men use females as punching bags. Whaddaya gonna do?

We have a twice-annual airing of grievances. We take turns facilitating the evening but it normally involves buying pizzas, some beer, and a bottle of whiskey.

Note: if it is a VERY old debt that is more than 7 years old. DO NOT take the call and DO NOT say anything but, “Not mine, sorry wrong number” There is a lot of companies buying expired debts that can not be collected and trying to get people to admit to it, because under the fair credit reporting act they are allowed…

How does helping your family around the house, learning to be responsible, and developing a basic understanding for the how the world works a bad thing? Even if a sheep strays from the herd, it’s bound to encounter a fence. The world has limitations and you can’t just “do whatever you want and get whatever you want.”

This summer I spent almost all of July traveling around with my kids while my husband worked out of town. I took them on planes and ferries and organized sightseeing adventures. For almost a month. When we got back my husband decided to take them camping for four nights. We have a trailer so there was no roughing it.…

The only time I really saw my dad take on significant domestic duties was when my mother was either away or a few years ago when a hip replacement rendered her immobile for a few months. Even then, I would take a train an hour each way in order to help around the house every weekend, clean, do laundry, cook some…

My baby boomer mother doesn’t understand why we have a strained relationship due to her dubious insistence on self reliance. You push the baby bird out of the nest too early, they’ll never call you.

It makes me think of the movie “Made in Dagenham”, about the women at an automotive factory who went on strike (ultimately leading to the institution of equal pay in Britain), and the main character is having a fight with her husband, who works at the same factory. He talks about how he’s such a good husband: he…

Can we fucking stop with this shit? All this talk. All these articles about how sex can be great, suuure, without orgasms. ONE LITTLE DETAIL in all these articles though - almost all the women who don't come with their man are usually getting themselves off alone. I don't know about anyone else, but when I MASTURBATE,…
