I'll take it into consideration. Thank you.

OK, fine... Jeesh... I'm simply asking because when I was kid, the dogs I grew up with, would react with getting up and leaving, and that kid does not seem heavy. I understand I may have had a misperception of the situation, I'm simply trying to learn more. If I saw a lil kid doing this with a rather large dog, it…

I know... I felt ashamed of having such thoughts after I had them...

Yup... it was.. :/

I know, I know... I was acknowledging that I had a brief moment of "I want myself to feel OK about this, and not recognize this awful thing happened". And that is not OK. I understand it is not the right reaction, and yet I had it. Simply sharing that I had a knee-jerk reaction that caught me off-guard.

You're most likely right... I simply commented it because I guess I had that knee jerk reaction of trying to look for some kind of explanation that wasn't the awful truth. I completely acknowledge that it is not the right answer, and I would not want for the cops to dismiss it thinking this or anything... Just thought…

So.. Honest question: seeing as how that's a small kid and a big dog, would it really be super dangerous that he stepped on the doggy? since dog doesn't seem to give a shit.. I mean, as I commented before: I would've thought it to be funny, but also tell the kid hey grab a chair or something, cuz the dog is not a…

So, I felt like the whole scene would make me laugh if I walked into this... Like dog doesn't give a fuck, won't move for anyone... But I would also tell the kid to go grab a chair or something, not praise it...

My rabbit purrs when he's relaxed on his back.... when he's done, he just turns around... I think I heard in some vid by the house rabbit society that it was OK to do it as long as you didn't mess with their bellies too much. I know it can scare them, but I thought it had to do with how you handled him. If I'm wrong,…

Agreed. Also, you lied! The part where the BF beats him up is not awful, he was defending his girlfriend.

So I read this, then(like 20 sec later), I went out to let the puppy have a potty break, and fell down the stairs.... Like for real.... I landed on my right side, and my right boob took the hit... My right ankle and hip also got some of it... :(

Ok, but then you only donated it after a while, probably a few years. Plus, if you donated it only because you got divorced, then you too were keeping it tucked away somewhere, which is just as wasteful.

Meh.... I'm sure they were pretending for TV...

I thought the e-mail was funny. I mean, IDK them or how they joke, but ... I thought it was meant in a light mood, and maybe Chris posted it like "lOl, my kids are embarrassed of me"... But, I might be reading into it all wrong...

I like the idea of a family secret santa...

I find her attitude reprehensible; however, it is still a good point to say "Ok, I'm trying to tell you that you're not gonna die of not having a new X.box, but since you don't get it, I'm not getting you presents).

Well, if it was your point, you didn't make it. All I read was a holier than thou attitude. I can second rebranding what she's doing, I can second the idea that it has to be a consistent change, but your tone in this article is just as awful as her tone of "I reinvented the wheel: if kids don't behave well, don't give…

I think part of what you guys are saying honestly has a lot to do with being the youngster when your older siblings are almost or already adults. Regardless of economic means, the last children of people whose other kids are already pretty much adults, tend to have a more hands-free raising. EG: My neighbor was the…

Yep. Also, for a site that constantly tells us about how bad the "mommy wars" are, this is mommy wars as fuck! "Oh, your kids are entitled... Well, you should've done better from day 1... Let's not take into account the fact that sometimes all of the influences from their social environment makes them feel this way,…

Aahhmmm.... OOOOOkkk.... I guess respectfully pointing out some info that could be added is not cool with you... Merry X-mas
