Because someone, somewhere, thinks that your parenting sucks. Might as well celebrate it.
The story playing out on my TV is a gruesome, albeit familiar, one, something probably even ripped from the headline of a news story I read last year. A baby has disappeared, a young mother is distraught, but not as distraught as a gravel-voiced investigator thinks she should be and a mother-in-law seems shady. By [...]
Posted by Anonymous. We started out as friends, talking for hours on the phone, until the sun came up – countless times. You would stumble home from the bar, and speed dial me, realizing the cruelty of 20-something girls in university, and falling in love with the voice on the other end of the line [...]
What I’m about to tell you may shock and horrify you. I don’t floss. Like, ever. It doesn’t even cross my mind. Why? I don’t know… because I’m busy? Seriously, I’m not lying about this. I don’t floss. Oh, I brush. I brush like nobody’s business. Like three times a day. But flossing? Not so [...]
Posted by Anonymous. I’m so sorry, but I’m utterly miserable here. We never touch each other anymore, despite my advances. I asked you if you were seeing someone else and you blew me off. Is she at least prettier than I? I am pretty sure you’re seeing someone else. You come home from a 4-hour [...]
Posted by Anonymous. Since you were four months pregnant, your husband has been cheating on you, with me. He told me he loved me, that I was the love of his life. We spent almost every evening together, in the park, by the library, up the hill, anywhere you can think of in the San [...]
Posted by Anonymous. I’m so confused! I want someone I can’t have. I know I can’t have him because he is too good. If I did have him I’d then feel bad…. feel at fault… even though he can make his own choices. He won’t choose me. … but the yearning is so strong. I’m [...]
You know what’s amazing? When you put a story out there, and more stories come back. It’s like that old saying, ‘if you love something, set it free…’ except that in this case, it would be ‘if something is eating at you, write about it on the Internet; if it comes back to you with [...]
Excerpted from a post at AOL’s Lemondrop. I called it “Got MIL?” and in hindsight, posting it was not my most prudent move. It was an essay that discussed, at some discomfiting length, my relationship with my mother-in-law. It was not an essay that was particularly flattering to my mother-in-law, because she was — is [...]
Kids fashion is admittedly tricky these days. Back in my parent’s day, kids didn’t really have ‘fashion’ as so much as they had ‘functional fabric coverings’ to keep their bodies modestly covered and insulated against the elements. Kids wore whatever the hell was on the racks that year and the term ‘fashion’ barely entered the [...]
Posted by Connie. To Me, present and future… I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to write this blog, but I can’t figure it out, so if it sounds more like a rant and less like well-composed intelligent thought, that’s why. In my life, I have always had a problem. What is that [...]
Posted by Anonymous. I’m blowing it. My life. I’m blowing my life. It’s always was been about being comfortable. Well, I’m not comfortable anymore. I am exhausted. He is exhausting. When I get home from a long day of work, he wants me to unpack or clean up or hang things. I want to lay [...]
Posted by Anonymous. Growing up, success came fairly easily. Mostly ‘A’ report cards, co-Captain of the Pom Squad, Scholarship to college. Even college continued mostly along that line — even the bumps in the road could be overcome with a little extra work. But ever since then it’s been downhill… Continue reading this post at [...]
Posted by Anonymous. The past week really has been a hell of sorts. It hasn’t been terrible, but once again I feel – I have no better word – haunted. It’s not anything supernatural or spiritual in the sense of the undead hanging out with me at random times. It’s more of a heart-haunt and [...]
Posted by Anonymous. About a month ago, my husband told me that he felt like I had emotionally pulled away from him. He felt like I didn’t try to connect with him anymore, and that I spent most of my time just trying to sleep. The fact that I would never initiate sex with him [...]
