SWEET JESUS this has come just in time! I have a six year old stepson that has never really had any limits placed on him and we now need to get him to improve his eating. This was the first week of our new family rules and things went less than well At one point I was pinched and bit. He’s a bit pissed off.

Isn't there a Boy Meets World episode where Sean is house sitting for Mr. Feeney & he turns the Feeney household into a B&B? If you're criminal enterprise is inspired by something from the TGIF line-up you're kind of a shitty criminal.

Scene- My bedroom, 2 AM, after a bottle and a half of wine.
Players (In a theatre sense, not like, a gross way to say ‘lovers’ or whatever)- My husband and also my me.

We were young, early 20’s, shitty on wine, having laugh sex, where we sort of clumsily bounced around the bedroom, laughing and not totally putting all…

IOW, how to appear on BCO.

Are these FB friends unionized teachers? Because I bet you anything they are. Unionized teachers get much better pay and PTO, naturally.

Hi LuckyMc44,

I don’t think either deserve to be constantly praised because of their profession, but teachers can be showed they are appreciated by paying them a living wage. I am a certified preschool teacher who became a nanny because I could never earn a living wage as a teacher.

It drives me crazy, because the whole martyrdom complex, the idea that these jobs are somehow callings, where you have to take a vow of poverty and devote your life it, rather than professions where you should be paid well, hurts nurses and teachers in the long run. They’re buying into an idea that is detrimental…

Agreed on all counts. I definitely respect both professions, but a teacher friend of mine told me one time that teachers deserve time off, which is why they have the summer off. Um, no. You have the summer off because this used to be a farming country and farmers needed their kids home to help. Nice try though.

Seriously, Deadspin, before all the snark pours in, for stories like this you should be noting the suicide prevention hotline number and other relevant resources.

Please if you are having suicidal thoughts or just struggling with depression talk to a friend or call the suicide prevention hotline. They’re there to help: 1-800-273-8255.

For me, this would be an act of disobedience to my God.

On a related note, in my opinion, whoever invented the hot fudge brownie sundae should get a Nobel Prize for it, even if the Nobel Prize Committee has to come up with a new category in order to do that.

When I repost stories like these, I always headline them: “Today’s Responsible Gun Owner”.

This won’t win, but remembering it always makes me laugh. My husband and I have not done an admirable job of minding our speech in front of our kids, and they know a few bad words. Luckily, our 8-year old is a great kid and she gets it when we say that it’s not the best choice, but adults can swear, and when she’s…

My daughter and son in law took my granddaughter Lucy to church last Sunday. Lucy’s almost 2 years old. My daughter told me for a portion of the mass Lucy chanted, “No Priest! Pope, No Priest! Pope”. Apparently, Lucy is a Pope groupie and super excited about the Philadelphia visit (she lives right outside Philly, it’s…

When I was 11 I was getting confirmed in a Catholic Church (my nana made me do it. I was powerless to her will) I thought that that day at 11 years old in an awkward long graduation esque robe would be the perfect day to wear high heels for the first time. Walking down the aisle was difficult but by the time I reached…

Boys, when you’ve been rejected, and your friend at the bar suggests getting over it with a couple of shots, this is not what they mean.

“and/or made a bad strike call”*

It’s like civics class. Sure, in an ideal world parents will teach their kids these things, but an ideal world this is not. I hate parents shifting the blame as much as anyone, but we also need to recognize that many parents (like most Americans) are working over 40 hours a week to stay afloat and don’t have the time…
