Can you explain why being next to the child while he does it makes it wronger? I mean, it sounds just like a symbolic problem.

Does that go to his parenting ability? I mean, it’s not like the child saw it.

He is a giant jerk and always has been. It is just like him to do that to a reporter.

HOA not required. Lots of towns have strict lawn policies. There’s concern about snakes, mosquitoes and other pests. In a lot of places if you let it go too long, the city will mow it and then send you a bill. And it’s a lot more than any landscaping company would charge.

Yea, the ungreying process is a mystery to me. Charlie Jane ungreyed me over on I09 ages ago, and I got ungreyed on Jez after I sent in a tip for a story. All the other blogs I just got notifications for randomly.

Parents who thought their kids were gonna get some free Big Baller shoes and other gear. And were flat out wrong.

STAY IN YO LANE

Jealous because you can’t afford the $220 slides? THEN YOU AINT A BIG BALLER

Two rich adults feuding is so tedious.
