... during the holidays?
I'm an avid reader of advice columns, and this time of year it's all about, "Is it OK if I treat my sister badly this Thanksgiving because she has treated me bad in the past?" Or, "Can I bring my own stuffing because I don't like my Mother-in-law's?" ... It's nothing but drama. Now my wife is starting to bug out for no apparent reason. What is so hard about visiting with family and friends?
I realize that women have been trained since birth to be acutely aware of social position and perceived slights. I am also aware that it is in their evolutionary DNA to identify and neutralize perceived threats in order to maintain their position, but can't we just turn down the sensitivity button, so the rest of us can have a good time? 11/23/2010 5:25:51 PM |

If you are seeking advice as to why women get so wigged out during the holidays, perhaps you should try writing an advice columnist. 11/23/2010 5:38:35 PM |

lol, i'm doing the same thing. not with a mother-in-law but another family member's sig other.
i think people in general, some more than others, function best with order and consistency. holidays involve a lot of people being in the same (often tight) space and knocking our lives out of balance for a period of time. keeping things somewhat in order helps to maintain some sense of sanity, for me anyway. i wouldn't say i wig out over it, but i definitely try to set plans in place to prevent too much deviation from previous thanksgivings. christmas is much more relaxed for us because we have less people around.

for the record, it's called "filling" not "stuffing"
and don't even try to call it "dressing" 11/23/2010 5:50:43 PM |

I'm not on speaking terms with one of my uncles, after an incident several years ago. We all commit certain acts in our lives of an unsavory nature. Some bad, some worse, some unspeakable. Sometimes we suffer in silence, sometimes we seek redemption. He's got what he wanted, but in attaining salvation there's a price that must be paid. One must give up a bit of one's self. The road, or the end of the road as it is, may not quite what you expect. The glowing light at the end of the tunnel may not be the beacon of righteousness that you envisioned. It may be some horribly disfigured funhouse reflection of your own inner dreams. 11/23/2010 6:01:32 PM |

but really, if you regularly read advice columns, you should know that they are routinely full of bitches wigging out 11/23/2010 7:21:29 PM |

So I didn't punch my cousin debbie in the face but I should have...
She showed up strung out on something...brought her 2 kids but didn't bother to bring a bottle or diapers or anything for the 10 month old
The 5 year old stayed in a bedroom by herself and said she was scared for all the people there...
I'm thinking something fucked up has happened to that kid because she used to be very outgoing and loving 11/25/2010 10:17:29 PM |

Those are far from the most valid reasons the kids should be taken away
