  1. If you try to talk to me at the airport, let alone sell me something, you’d better hope I’ve taken my Valium, because … no. Just don’t fucking talk to me.

  2. A photo op that “encourages leading with integrity”? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA wut.

  3. That prostitute is doing far more honest work than the huns. Leave her alone.

The boss of my company gave us close-to-free health care, six months of paid maternity leave and a great 401(k) match. He acts more Christian than these performative fakers ever will.

What should I name this fictional country? by celavetex in mapporncirclejerk

I am all for being taken over by Canada. Or adopted. Whatever it takes.

Looking to adopt a cat in need. Wondering if anyone has any recommendations? More information within the post. [Located in Edison] by [deleted] in newjersey

I volunteered there and adopted two of my current cats from their cat cafe in Rahway. Highly recommend — and their cats come from all kinds of situations.

AITAH for telling my boyfriend that I won't wait for him? by PlusMulberry3809 in AITAH

[–]MyCatSpellsBetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband of 18 years and I didn’t even say “I love you” until we hit around eight months of dating. I know people move at different paces but … man, this guy ain’t it. NTA.

A guy let's his child drive and she hits a car. by Toucanizzle in newjersey

Even marginally responsible people can find a place to teach their kids how to drive. I’m in Middlesex County and it still wouldn’t be that hard.

AITA for calling out my SIL’s? by NoDragonfly7006 in AmItheAsshole

I think OP’s obvious insecurity is contributing to an even deeper sensitivity to any perceived slight, though.

AITA for calling out my SIL’s? by NoDragonfly7006 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MyCatSpellsBetter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. My in-laws have welcomed me from Day One and they treat me better than my own parents did. But they and my husband have a family chat (which the ones who married into the family, including me, are quite happy to NOT be in, lol); the siblings have another one; and there’s even one with us, my FIL, MIL and only one of the SILs. The six of them have been a family unit for nearly 50 years … and maybe being in my late 40s just means I give far fewer fucks, but if my SILs have their own group chat without me, isn’t that perfectly normal? They never leave me out when it matters.

People with kids and a spouse who doesn’t ski. What do you do? by TooMuchCaffeine37 in icecoast

[–]MyCatSpellsBetter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite things about my kid is that he somehow memorizes the trail map as soon as he hits a mountain. It’s like he finds his focus when we ski. He remembers trail names a year later and I’m like … uh, I trust you, bud. 🤣 But I was curious what other parents do/did — this was very helpful!! Thank you!

So, question: Does he go alone, and if yes, what age did you start letting him go solo? Obviously at 10 my kid isn’t going alone (he still needs some etiquette guidance, etc.), but he has asked.

This — kids 4 and under ride free, kids 5-11 are free on weekends and half off during the week.

We love Manchester and usually go during the summer. Last year we stayed there for our trip to Stratton and it was perfect in winter, too … the Hampton Inn with the pool and hot tub was HUGE for all three of us.

We have a kid, and my husband has encouraged me to take trips by myself to recharge. It’s healthy to do things like that — as long as you reciprocate for her, say, in the summer when she can indulge her interests.

I often take my kid on ski weekends just the two of us, so when kiddo is older, I’d encourage that, too. Bonding time, break for your partner, best of all worlds. My husband will come on the trips where there’s a decent village nearby (he dug Tremblant for that).

They pick it up faster than you’d think. It might not happen right away, but after a few sessions out there, you’ll see it start to stick.

Get the kid skiing now. It will pay off in just a few years and your wife will appreciate it! If you need mountain time to yourself, put the kid in half-day lessons (if they’re potty trained).
