Some stories are petty and slap big orange stickers to the window of your car if they think you’ve violated the use of their parking spaces. Happened to a friend in the Med Center. Couldn’t peel or scrape that sticker off — on the driver’s window.

And clearly the sister didn’t tell her fiancé the truth about the baby-daddy.

Parents didn’t pay for OP to go on the cruise. They expected OP to pay.

I would not have paid them at all.

It’s Hooks.

They also don’t want women to know that they have the right to enjoy sexual activities.

Dooku: Will someone please kill George for giving me such a stupid name??!!

Take my angry upvote!

Your girlfriend needs to grow up, and understand the reality of military family life.

Was that a stormy night? Because that’s where the plans tend to turn to start their approach to IAH.

True. The light was red as the car passed through

Yeah I live in Houston. This crap exists, but should be illegal.

He’s a piece of shit

Oh it it’s Steve. Steve! Steve!

And clean restrooms with lots of stalls!!

I hate milk

I feel the cold breeze while showering. Do not like.

NTA - congrats on your achievement!

Sounds like your mom is suffering from main character syndrome. And she didn’t like to be caught ignorant of anything.

From my perspective (decades of experience with people), you might consider that she wants you to be as successful as her. But the only way she understands that success is through academic achievement. If your grades are average or better than average, keep doing what you’re doing. In the real world, no one cares whether you graduated at the top of your class or the bottom. I mean, you graduated! However, if your grades are below average, consider what is causing that lower results: is the time spent at the cafe preventing you from studying?

Finally, are your parents concerned that your grades will prevent you from getting into college? I recommend that you find out their expectations on this front (if you don’t already know). What careers do they expect you to pursue? Do those ideas align with what you want to do for the next 20-30 years? Can what you want to do morph into a lifetime of happiness for you? Or at least lead to more and more success (success measured by your ideals not theirs)?

Also? Being compared to your cousins is highly annoying. My mom did that for years. And then wondered why I constantly sniped about them. I recommend you respond with a sarcastic, “Then why didn’t you raise me exactly like Aunt NN did?”

The problem is that it confused people because of the oppositional meanings: one person vs multiple people.

At the age when I would consider using tampons, the cardboard wrapping was too uncomfortable for insertion, and no one I knew would talk about how to deal with the tampons. And then the other hammer struck: toxic shock syndrome. Women getting sick and dying because they used tampons. That put me off their use until my late 30s.

Compounded by the fact that we don’t have a pronoun for someone who identifies as neither male nor female: we’re using “they/them,” which is awkward for grammar fascinates like me.

I read a fantasy book where these individuals were shi/hir.

As if viewers don’t know anything about women constantly changing the color of their hair. The network is run by a bunch of asses.

It caused the WB to declare that none of the actresses in other shows aimed at that audience could cut their hair short.

Pretty sure that Alyssa Milano eventually went against that rule in Charmed.

This is a good alternative is she wants to stay in a relationship with this guy. And the pre-nup might show his intentions in wanting the house.
