This just makes me sick, I am so heartbroken for all of these poor children. I hope EVERY SINGLE PERSON involved is brought to justice. I hope they all burn in hell.

Super cute. She has her sassafras face on. Watch out, because I do believe she's plotting.

Since he lives at home, it's not unreasonable to know where he is and what time he'll be back. That's common courtesy. The attitude is typical of his age.
eta- FWIW I think you are being pretty lax. I am also like that with my older teens. Being super strict at that age doesn't help anything.
eta - I will revoke the car privilege if I don't feel like adequate appreciation for it's use is on display. Driving MY car is not a right.

I don’t really know why I’m posting this. Commiseration maybe? I think I generally have a decent attitude toward dating — I figure if you meet someone for a drink, have a decent conversation, and nothing else happens, it was another person met and probably a few things learned and life goes on. I don’t get attached to people quickly (so it’s not like every man I meet is “the one”). I have high-ish expectations and feel like I vet men well enough, so I’ve yet to have a crappy or horrible experience. I don’t demand expensive dinners out and gifts and such, as I’ve heard from most men is quite common. I have found over the past nine months or so that almost everyone is just looking for “friends with benefits” which I have NO problem with in theory, and have enjoyed these kinds of relationships in the past. However, there’s no actual friendship to be had. It’s essentially code for guilt-free booty calls with absolutely zero investment. One guy I was seeing for a while didn’t even have alcohol to offer me (he had his own which I didn’t drink and he knew). All these guys are in board for sex when they need it, but ask them to go see a movie with you, and you’d think the end times were upon us. I headed into summer feeling positive and optimistic about having some fun. I bought lots of tickets to concerts for the season and into the fall, and arranged some free weekends without kids, expecting I could find someone who’d be willing to see a concert or maybe take an overnight road trip somewhere. Well, this has not been the case. My free weekends have been spent alone and my extra concert tickets have been given to strangers. Between my ex-boyfriend soliciting unattached sex from me and creeping me out in other ways, and that one other guy who I was interested in who’s taking care of his ill ex-wife telling me he can’t see me because he’s trying not to fall in love with me... and the guys online who say they don’t date women with children but we could fuck if I was down with that (I wasn’t).... I don’t know. I’m just feeling like life is kinda an asshole. That sucks. I'm sorry.

The year before I was PTO President, the then President did a LOT of schlepping stuff for various PTO events. I always volunteered, but there was one event that was, seemingly, remarkable for its lack of participation. When I took the seat, I said up front that I was not taking on the stuff that the Past President had done with regard to this particular event -- and if there wasn't sufficient other participation then it wouldn't be held. It wasn't held. I don't know what happened the year after - that was my kid's Sr. Year and we were "outta there". The point is sometimes events become entrenched beyond their time. Not suggesting that OP's events of uniform fitting or otherwise fall into that criterion. But possibly some of the other stuff does. And it will be "on those who come behind" to make that decision. This actually brings up another issue that I feel might fit your criteria. In 2018 we had a full pitch in mealfor the end of year awards banquet. It was RIDICULOYS how long this thing went and how late we were there washing dishes after. And I barely got any food. I felt like just give the kids their awards, cut out the food so we can get home. My kid was up until 1 am trying to do her homework. So this year it was a dessert only banquet and the director made a big speech about someone complaining last year (and it quite possibly could have been me!) and he felt like that was so rude so this year we were being punished with the dessert only since someone was so ungrateful. It really rubbed me the wrong way and I think I’m pretty over the band. I’m limiting my volunteering this year because I’m tired or trying to be a good helper and my attitude stinks. Last fall we had our mum sale. I was there with the select few for about 12 hours in 100+ heat. I’m not doing that again. I think at some point it would be prudent to appoint people to help out but I’m not in charge. So all I can do is just worry about myself. I would LOVE a dessert only banquet. GENIUS!!

This stuff just passes me right by...it's just a bunch of garbled nonsense to me. He is saying don't wait to be happy. Don't wait for a, b or c to happen first. Find joy in the journey - the process. While I agree with him, I think people are intrinsically optimistic or pessimistic.

And people wonder why victims don't report..... Surely, if she was actually raped she would have reported it. Why didn't she report it when it happened? Motherfuckers

Anyone caught up in this should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I don't care who it is. "Caught up" as far as being serviced by a young girl in a sex slave ring? Sure! But I hold the ones who CREATED this sex ring, who paid for and threatened young women to go out and FIND these girls and lure them into this, MUCH more accountable, guilty and evil, IMO!!! THAT is what I'm focused on. The rest could follow. Everyone's accountable and guilty. without the customers there would be no market for this shit.

I have very little interest to see it. If I do, it will be on ABC sometime in the future. The Disney movies I loved are cartoons and I loved the music. That amount of music/singing in a love action film makes it less for me. I love Mulin, but I won't be watching this one. I also have no interest in a love action Aladdin and I only want to see the Lion King for Jon Oliver. Love action?

It's hard to be proud when we are incarcerating young children, babies and innocent men and women seeking asylum in substandard, inhumane conditions. eta - and just so we are clear, the young children and babies are being separated from the family that they came with. Many "unaccompanied" minors came with family members like aunts/uncles and adult siblings. The US government does not legally consider them guardians, and then separates them and deems them "unaccompanied". Our government is creating this mess. 70% of the kids in these camps have a family member here in the US who could care for them.

Grotesque and unamerican. There are also reports that they will move some of the migrants, including children down to GITMO. When I was watching the news last night, there were over 100 people in some cells that were meant for 35 people. Only one toilet and sink and no room to sit down. Inhumane conditions, no doubt. There is also rampant sickness: measles, flu, lice and other outbreaks. Seeking asylum is not illegal.
