Yours is the first comment I’ve read that smacks of my reality - not an office rock star. I started working as a child (as a “domestic” cleaning houses with my mom) earned a few advanced degrees and worked the whole time. In those 20+ years there was never a minute that I wouldn’t have walked out if I won the lotto.…

Yeah, this is going to be one of those stories that he tells where she’s expected to laugh along because it was “just a joke.” I really despise people who frame dickish behavior as humor like this, because it just sets up the other person to seem like an uptight killjoy - even when they have a totally valid reason for…

I’ve got two sisters who are SAHMs of wealthy executives in high end neighborhoods of their respective cities and they receive wife bonuses and monthly “paychecks” so I can confirm this is a national trend. In fact one informed me last week that she asked the owners of a home she looked at purchasing ($2mm) to include…

Let’s be serious here. Her husband is not paying her because she is a “mom.” He is paying her because she is attractive, keeps herself in good shape, and pleases him. Part of that includes being a mother and keeping the kids out of his hair. But, don’t fool yourself into thinking that these mothers don’t all have…

Just call it what it is: An allowance. An allowance for doing chores. That’s some fucked up power dynamic if a married, adult couple wants to treat each other like that.

No one even thought of working after having kids, and few have any plans to go back even when the kids have left home.

When I see this on the red carpet it annoys me.

Except without the sparkles. What the fuck do I want a jumpsuit for if it doesn’t have sparkles?

So they’re basically admitting they ripped off Balmain, right?

My last name is Chick, and in middle school my history teacher found out my parents were getting divorced and I was having a ~hard time~ so he ordered a bunch of fried chicken, rented Chicken Run, and the whole class got to eat and watch movies all day for “Chick Day” in honor of me.

They do. And if you sit down they will come over for pets and some even get in your lap for snuggles and just relax there like a tired puppy. Our good family friends have a dozen or so and they let the kids pet them and all that. It’s very sweet. And also a real problem because chicken is delicious.

OHMIGOD. Chickens give hugs? That’s a thing!? SQUEEEEEE

You’re the only person on Earth with total control of a child’s physical movements at all times. You should use your power for good and not waste it on cringey, over the top, really bad Internet sarcasm.

I took our 2 and 3 year old on a flight from Vancouver to Hawaii. It was OK going there with the expected amount of boredom and a bit of loudness, but they were generally polite and did puzzles on the iPad. On the way back, though, I knew we were in trouble when the plane started down the runway and my 2 year old…

IT MADE SENSE AT THE TIME! I did hair from 1996-2006. I did the Rachel a lot, but people would ask specifically for me not to give them the Rachel. They just wanted side bangs, lots of face framing layers, a little volume at the crown, and for their hair to flip at the shoulder.

wow, that first paragraph is hard proof they’ll hire anyone to write anything these days WAMP WAMP

My mom is a spitfire. She’s a tiny, fierce, mean, Irish lady. She had 6 kids in 6 1/2 years. I have a ton of great stories about her, like the time she bought a huge crystal chandelier at an estate sale several hours from our home. Lacking anything to wrap it in for the ride home, she stripped down to bra and panties,…

Someone please “curate a line” that is inspired by my daughter’s insane pattern mixing.

Me! I'm very attracted to twinkly-eyed human smirks!!!!

Andre came into my old job to talk with a photographer a couple years ago, I didn’t really know/care who he was because I was so disillusioned with that hellhole of a job by that point. However, in walks this giant 6’7” man in a cape, who, yes, talks exactly like he does in all these interviews. He was kind of…
