Yep. The students were great outside of occasionally being hit on by the Senior boys. But it was nothing I couldn’t handle.

The first time I ever took my own actual class out of the building for an outdoor class, in a school where that was totally acceptable, I was screamed at for skipping. I remember screaming, “NO, I’M THE TEACHER,” at my huge scary coach-type colleague. And I had taken a looong time in college and didn’t have a proper…

I always assumed that Mango Mussolini associates great tans with men like Cary Grant and Frank Sinatra and similar—either extremely handsome men or real players, of which he is neither—and wants to emulate them. Of course, Humpty Drumpfty can’t do anything right and ends up looking like an anemic Oompa Loompa. 

I say all the time that the key to a blissful marriage is in marrying the right person. It’s such a simple concept and so, so difficult to do.

I found out in private, from my daughter’s birth mother, at the earliest possible test. I am so, so glad that I didn’t share the news that we were expecting for 12 weeks, and isn’t share the baby’s sex until the 8th month. I needed that time, in private, to process and plan.

Yes! It was the gleefully shitting on people that I couldn’t stand then and just can’t tolerate now.

I’m not going to watch. If I wanted to watch a total bitch be inconsiderate and hateful, I could just go home to my mother, not watch Hildy or Doug do a damn thing.

How come nobody is talking about the REALLY important thing in KC’s video: her hot pink satin mule wedge bedroom slippers? I NEED those in my life.

Yes! In real life, by ALL reports, he’s a hell of a guy!

It will.

Oh, fuck you. My husband made piles and piles of money when we planned our family, but lost that job—at a company he had been with for nearly 20 years—while our baby was already in the works. We could have afforded six children, but our circumstances changed drastically. We’re back on our feet, but the time we spent…

There is a play place in my city that will take opened packages for their diaper donation. It was great for the couple of times I had something that my baby couldn’t use.

Listen to Terpsy. They are smart. It WILL be okay. My daughter’s arrival coincided with the hardest financial patch we my husband and I have ever gone through together. We made it. Do you know how to coupon? I don’t, but a friend can do the thing and constantly had a supply of all kinds of baby supplies, usually…

My baby took Target formula but the Target diapers would not work for her no matter how hard I tried. We went to Huggies. If we bought them at Costco I could get them down to ¢18 apiece.

Diana herself said more than once that Charles was a good, loving, attentive father.

Marriage is SO for me, now that I’m doing it with the proper partner!

One lady and four gentlemen have pursued my hand in marriage. I refused the first two based on age and logistics. Accepted the third time, but called off the engagement. Accepted the fourth time and was briefly married to a sweet but ill-suited man. Accepted the fifth time and am very happily married.

I’ve been proposed to five times, engaged three, and married twice. I have never given back a piece of jewelry in my life.

If MM’s first husband did cheat, then I don’t think she was savage enough. I don’t care about sexual fidelity very much, but if I was treated poorly enough abruptly to end my marriage, everything is mine.

This is awful. I was a professional nanny for a long time, and I can tell you that the agency and the other nannies I knew—though admittedly there were only a few—did not approve of au pairs. We had ALL heard horror stories that involved overwork and hound-dog dads who clearly wanted to bang the girl. Nannies, even…
