show up tonight with the incredible meal we had catered from the delicious Turkish place and pay to supply for all 20 family members to have a nice Christmas eve dinner. I guess I'll just take my book and sit on the corner of the couch and get drunk and read. Because I haven't heard from her since.

I (finally) told her so. And a couple other long-term thorns in my side as well. My husband will never tell her how it hurts me to be overlooked every year as she hands me my Starbucks gift card and goes back to ignoring me, the fucking creator of their bountiful vegetarian and vegan feast and

When other kids met my kids in school for the first time, they thought they were either "fancy" or "foreign" because of how they spoke. LOL job well done, I say. Chips off the nerdy, verbal blocks. Huzzah to you!

She's used to our travels always being like explorer/anthropologist field trips where our agenda always includes: local art, bookshops, pastries, outdoor adventures, and either antiques, cemeteries, or a tour of the weirdest thing the place has to offer.

Wish I could relay how my first few kids were in the gifted program and had ridiculous test scores but were so burnt out & depressed by college & it was terrifying & awful, while the last one, who we were too tired to focus that smart/stress energy on anymore turned out just as smart, & HAPPY.

Thank you. I just... I'm so mad and sad that some asshole felt entitled to her body, but also that he affected her mentally and emotionally. It's awful.

My 21 yr old daughter and I are taking a day to vintage/antique and bookstore shop and sit at various cafés and take reading breaks in the vibes. The boys can go play in the swamp. She would super dig the creepy old-timey pharmaceuticals as well!

The kissing babyheads are so tacky, all painfully forced up under her chin like that. And her hair looks terrible. That's brushing your teeth hair. What, has she got a chip clip holding it up in the back?

Because we've gotten to the point where people's rights, humanity, and lives are at stake. These are the final positions. There is no compromise or "learning from" those who would rationalize or even delight in cruelty and violence towards other human beings. BOO Jennifer.
