My stepdaughter (13) never seems to be able to get ready on time for anything. Dentist appointment at 10:00? She’ll just be getting out of the shower at 9:55. Staying in a hotel and the check out time is at 11:00? She’ll still be in her pajamas and not packed at 10:50. She was also… Read More »

I have a neighbor, we’ll call her K, who has 3 daughters (~8, 5, 3?).

It just boils my blood because it’s an addiction. I’ve seen how people get when they don’t have one twitchy and annoyed yes I know. But it seems people are more worried about themselves and making fun of the smoker, they pretend to care about cancer and whatnot but just want a quick punchline for… Read More »

At my first shitty retail job, I knew corporate was coming to visit. I also knew that my usually chill boss became really shitty trying to suck his boss’s dick. So what I ended up doing was deciding to do the ol’ fake stomach illness. There was a stomach bug around so it wasn’t too unbelievable. The… Read More »

I am a single mom. It is the best sleep we both get. she has her own bed. She knows that’s her bed, but I don’t push it. I’ll ask her once in a while if she wants to sleep in her bed, she generally says no. But sometimes she’ll lay in it first for… Read More »
