We once thought that about Paris Hilton.

A big part of why even people who are annoyed by KLG find her and her antics relatable is that they know she earned every dime she has. Perception is everything.

Gawker will do that to you.

To continue a conversation begun, last night (anyone?).

I searched for a different pain point. For her, it’s having her fun stuff taken away. My son is mildly peeved when he’s told he can’t have screens, but it DEVASTATES my daughter.

I think you are taking the psychologist’s quote the wrong way. He is saying that children pick up on the way that their parents treat them, and they in turn use those same techniques to exert control over their peers. So if you hit your child, you are teaching them that hitting people is how you get what you want, and…

I used time-outs, but not really as punishment. They were used when one of my kids needed to calm themselves down, because they were becoming more and more overwrought, usually because they were caught in some sort of emotional feedback loop (Something happened, I’m upset, that makes me upset, now I’m MORE upset,…

On its face, this sounds a lot like cognitive-behavioral therapy that my department does with felons. Deconstruct the thoughts that came before negative behaviors and work to get the person to identify those thoughts and neutralize them before they get to the behavior. Reinforce the new patterns with repeated practice…

Corsets then, six-inch heels now. Dressing fashionably has always been dangerous for women - and extraordinarily ‘political’, by which I mean fashion keeps us from moving “freely”(in every sense of that word). Being a Victorian woman in a corset, bustle and several layers of earth dragging skirts was hard enough for a…

Crazy=bitch I can't control.

When something is that ingrained within your upbringing it is very, very difficult to escape. If “just leaving” was that easy, no one would stay with abusive spouses or remain in contact with abusive parents.

The grill was an especially bad idea.

I'm resisting the urge to send this to my cousin who is scared of clowns.

Is anybody actually afraid of clowns?

You know...in the five years we dated, I saw him kinda do this one thing. It was like a “dick raise” where he’d tie the weight around the base of his dick, and then stretch it out a bit before he did like...raises. He made it move to sort of lift the weight slightly.

One thing no one tells you when you first have kids is how insanely boring the job can be. Reading the same books over and over again, watching the same videos, playing the little games that are absolutely vital to helping your kids develop so many skills are often mind-numbingly boring. In the early days, I had to…

i like kim and the kardashians but youre not wrong

Everything is outrage. Outrage over what this person did, outrage over what this person said, outrage over the outrage... I am done with it. Fuck it. Live and let live at this point. Everyone is problematic, no one is perfect. If Kim Kardashian wants to post a naked selfie, go for it. I don’t have to look at it. I…
