Mrs. Hanson

And leaving her kid for a few weeks to go get boned. In the interest of gender fairness, I judge the men just as harshly for leaving their little ones to get boned overseas, too. Lord forgive me but please let it be that and Paul: TAKE IT AS A SIGN!!!! Go home to the USA, leave Brazil behind as a distant memory.

As someone who just completed two years teaching in middle schools, where I (and other staff) heard "THAT'S NOT FAIR!" so often I wanted to trade in my salary for, like, a dollar every time I heard that phrase. I would have tripled my salary on the spot. It is not like they applied to be together under one set of rules then the gov't changed them to keep them apart. They knew full well that Rachel had a child that she shred custody with, he knew full well he had a record (not sure how much she knew) so no, I don't feel for them at all. Jesse makes me VERY uncomfortable. Like I would want to strap packing tape over his mouth, and I am a pretty chill person!!!!

We can only dream of that scene from the Notebook. Per the Jon/Rachel/Lucy: Yes she bugs me more and more each week: "It's not fair we are kept apart!!" Well go find a dude in New Mexico, Arizona, Texas or Southern California if this bemoans you so much. Social media is famous for ass kissing. Look at Nicole! I do not see what anyone sees in Jon either but then again Rachel is kinda dowdy for such a young woman. I am 53, was totally into my kids when they were babies/toddlers/little kids, now they are college age - I am in no rush for grandkids. Like a week from never sounds good right now. But damn!!! THAT LUCY! Please may I have her??? She is beyond cute. I do think that Rachel would leave her daughter here in the US with her Dad if she could and not be judged too harshly. For a criminal overseas......yeah, no.

I agree with this - she has watched "The Notebook" once too often. "That is what we do!! We fight and we make up!" (Not that I have seen it a few times, lol. But I know it is a piece of FICTION.) When Darcy was doing the arms crossing/I love you signage it reminded me of prisoners who "sign" that to their loved ones across the prison yard. Kinda fitting as these two are prisoners of their own hell. Mu hubby watched that scene with me and was like....no way are they gonna stay together. She is way too needy and he is just too weird.

I agree!! "I will" sounds like, "Well. if I have to, I guess I will....." I mean, say it like you mean it!!! "I DO!!"

OMG I laugh at this. My hub and I kicked it old school: To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, etc....." None of this: "I promise to be the wind beneath your cloud, to listen with all my heart, to be there for you in the worst of storms." Yeah.....shut it. Remember the bride who said "I promise to support all your ideas, even when they are going to fail?" or something like that? Way to support there, missy. And I made sure to write: "Do you take this man?" so I could say "I DO!" because I like "I do"more than "I will." Just a preference.

I have a relative who did the following: Her daughter got pregnant at 18, my cousin (who adopted daughter as a five yr old and as a single parent) adopted the baby (her grandson.) Daughter got pregnant AGAIN about five years later and my cousin sat her down and said "Here are your options cause I am nearing 60 and can't do this again. I won't." Daughter placed baby #2 with an adoptive family as she is broke and probably always will be, to be blunt. (There is a hint to her status, lol) Sadly, my cousin passed unexpectedly a year ago and her grandson/son is with another cousin, a younger married couple with two of their own and he is adjusting well!! Loves his new siblings! Misses his mom/grandma but is doing okay. These folks can take a clue!!!! As the mother of two boys who HAD that procedure, I can tell my sons it was the worst part of labor. Truly, I had an 11 pound baby and the novacane to stitch me up HURT!!!

I saw about thirty seconds of Lily's channel. All I can say is wow is she ever dull and likes to point out obvious stuff. "If you wait too long to nurse your milk can dry up." Really? WOW!

I think they are told by many people it does not look good, perhaps see it themselves in a mirror but.....nope. Gotta have the sleeveless.

Not to go off topic, but that family has been in show business for 50 plus years, all successful, and they all still talk to each other!!! Not bad!!! But enough with the Nutri System, Marie. Plus I have heard in real life Marie tells jokes that would make a sailor blush....so props for that, lolol!!!

I like the Osmonds, I do. Wonderful family, great entertainers. But Marie - ask Nutrisysytem to get a new ad campaign!!!! "BYE BYE BELLY FAT!!!" It is ALWAYS on, too!!!

Is your husband my dad, lol? My dad threatened the same thing and I listened. I knew he meant business and never slammed a door since. Like never, lol.

I hate that concept too: My family ATE! Wow - let's hold a parade. Frozen pizza, alone, is nothing to brag about. And the other woman bragging she is wearing a sock that had spilled milk on it....gross. I bet it has all kinds of smells. Flo Jamie from Progressive: muting. ASPCA: muting Marie Osmond for Nutri Systems? MUTING!!!!

God's Divine Nine? Think much of yourself??

I would not want him nor allow him in my house either. I am kinda mean, but I thought it was kinda funny how, when they were discussing the baby shower he was over in the chair, away from everyone. It was not too big of a deal but I would have put him on the deck and locked him out. If they are 60,61 they will never have any empty nest. What the heck does MaKayla care? She has gramma and grandpa there to support her so she can spit them out at fast succession!! I agree with poster than Gramma is such a mousy person we can't remember her name. And kudos to the person who said, "Where are the kids whose parents set limits and were firm?" Someone said those kids are on Top Chef Junior, Project Runway Jr, etc. Bravo and so true!! Being I never spell McKayla's name right, I am going to call her McBabyMaker from now on.

Without going too off track: I have a family member (a nephew) who struggled, and still struggles with staying sober from drinking. My mom (his grandma) had a very weird connection with him (she has since passed) and kinda favored him. She would overrule EVERYONE, even when it was indirectly harming him, both to be the "hero" and to kinda "stick it" to my sister (his mom) to show everyone who was really the boss. Super unhealthy, I know, but my point is: there are a lot of family dynamics here that we don't see, although we certainly get hints of it. You are only as strong as the weakest link, and she was the weak link here. Loved her, but man this was a rough flaw. Bolding mine: that is the word for it!!!

Yes and I want to be clear: I never wanted to nor intended to hurt my kid's feelings, nor do I believe I ever did. But discomfort? Agitation? Sore feelings over being told no? Yep. Not all the times as I gotta say, kids were pretty chill. (Thank you Jesus.) Once (and only once) my older one (who is THE most mellow dude, ever) got a little lippy. He was 5 or 6? I warned him once, he did it again, and then I followed through on the threat: No bedding on the bed that night, only a bare mattress. He lived. And the lipping off stopped. And he had to make the bed the next day when I gave him his bedding back.

Me too, my mom passed a few years ago and I still shudder at the thought of even raising my voice to her. My dad? Oh hell no. Like no way, ever. How do kids get away with swearing at their parents, too??

I am 53 and my parents were kind, loving people who never laid a hand on me in terms of corporal punishment but THEY RAN THE SHOW, especially my dad. You are upset? Go cry. You want ice cream for dinner? Try again. You WILL tow the line, it is OUR HOUSE and OUR MORTGAGE, thanks for asking. If I (or my sibs) were upset, they sat in the backyard, having a cigarette (it WAS the 70's) and a cocktail and really were not bothered by their youngest having angst. Chloe bugs me the most - her crying is just......just buck it up, girl. You don't know what you are doing, just admit it. No, most 16 yr old kids are respectful of adults, are working hard at grades, sports and other activities. It has nothing to do with public schools, it has everything to with parenting. Like I have said before, parents need to be PLUGGED INTO THE KID'S LIVES. You can be 2000 miles away and be present. The 80's to me, became VERY child-centric and it went too far and stayed there. Upset kid? Let's talk it out, let's interface a solution. No, let's go back to 1974 when you got punished, lol. Not with force but you felt it.

Shannon, your dad has no trouble with employment, run ins with the law nor social situations with alcohol. He is not an alcoholic by that definition. He can have three beers at the end of the day and as long as he gets up in the morning to function and not drive, he is good. Shut yourself up. Per the housing: If I were the mom of a teen mom (God help me) I would find a place that I CAN AFFORD BY MYSELF and move in. I would ask teen mom/daughter if she wants to move in but again, I CAN AFFORD IT ALONE. Teen daughter/mom would have to pitch in for, you know, LIFE as that is what grown ups do. Macayla needs to learn to pay bills on time and be a grown up as she wants to be an adult. Time adult AND get a Depro Shot or whatever they are called. Tubal ligation? I had one.....they work great!!! LOL!

I am one of the few teachers who still loves (LOVES!) parent teacher conferences. The apple rarely falls from the tree. Weird parents make weird kids, bully parents make bully kids, etc. There are a few exceptions to the rule but.....yeah. Happily, most well adjusted, well meaning parents make great kids!!! And not to get too off topic: I had a GREAT phone call today with a parent who TOTALLY had her kid's number, saying "Oh hell no, he is NOT going to act a fool in school - we are partners, Mrs. Hanson!" YAY!!! Being a role model is hard, which as parents we all are whether you like it or not. This summer my almost 20 yr old son and a former neighbor boy (age 14) were working in the yard for me. Went to a Home Depot, got supplies and left. Next to my car was a potted plant/tree someone had left - my first thought was to take it!!! LOL! But no, gotta be a role model, even for older kids. (Oh who are we fooling, I would have brought it into the store regardless.)

I would have asked for that in writing.

Yes thank you for noticing that. I don't want to see your tongue, your 'fish lips" are anything else remotely close!!

Girl loves her filters!!!!

I watched a few minutes of Chloe on youtube. She is even more dull by herself. Yes, The University of Mars sounds like a great choice. All the Instagrams make me ill: "You guys are the cutest couple, EVAH! Like, ignore the haters!!" No wonder they are all so enabled.
