Moses in a basket. I teach and we have drama on a daily basis that all started by kids making stupid, unkind posts or sending outrageously cruel IMs and texts after school hours. How could this mother POSSIBLY allow her daughter to say such vicious, cruel things about adults? Does she not believe in teaching her to respect ALL adults?
AAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH

Some of the insults weren't very nice ("cottage cheese butt"), but they were picking on children, and I think the girl was pointing out that the moms aren't perfect, so they should stfu and stop picking on little girls.
I dunno, I found myself getting more angry over the grown women insulting a 10 year old than I did about a 13 year old defending her sister.

Comparatively, at least the other daughter was sticking up for her sister even in a flame warry fashion.

I'm dealing with a little gem in one of my classes right now. It is clear this girl never had boundaries or rules. She absolutely refuses to follow any rule if it isn't what she wants to do. She speaks horribly about others - both students and teachers. I simply asked her to stop talking today when I had started to teach and her response was *eyeroll* "Bitch".
Mom says she hasn't been able to control her since she was 2. She's started 3 fights in the past month through her obnoxious texts which are designed to bring on the drama. Mom still refuses to take her cell or limit her computer time. I found out today that mom now has a civil suit pending against her for libel or something similar - she hacked another mother's MySpace page and, when caught, fully admitted to it with a "So what?" thrown in to boot.
I just hate to see parents setting poor examples or encouraging the type of behavior pictured in this clip.

I especially don't like it that it always seems like people want GIRLS to be nice all the time. I am sorry, in something like the above situation I dont have a problem at all with calling it like you see it.
03/26/09
Oh this is just all sorts of NO.
03/26/09
That is horrible. What a little brat...and she seems hopeless if her mom is glaringly immature herself...I mean, stop being a "bff" and start being a parent. Real classy family you have on your hands, sorry you have to deal with that.
*weeping for society*

That said, two wrongs don't make a right and all that, so I wouldn't have allowed my daughter to say that stuff either.

@Gretchen (hates insurance adjusters and will get new timpani, doggone it): My mom's a teacher & she often deals with crap like this and, except in extreme or unusual circumstances (ie. medical disorder) it's totally the parent's fault & their responsibility, but a lot seem to give up around age 2 when things get tough. Sigh.

There really is no upside here. The parent should never have shared the site with her daughters, and if she absolutely MUST read it, then just store that information away and don't act on it.
I can't imagine going through school with the sort of social networking and instant communication now available. Nightmare.

Things aren't tough at two. Things are easy at two. Granted, they are more obnoxious at two than at 1. But they are still controllable. Sure, honey, have skittles for dinner (it'll shut her up and I don't have to deal with her whining and crying and carrying on). The problem is, the kid, and the rest of society, get to pay for a parent's lack of spine and gumption. I was wrassling my two year old into time out, holding her there, and counting down with the timer. Sucked. But it worked. God, I am so sick of people putting it on the KID at 2 years old. What a crock. The KID was uncontrollable? No, the kid was perfectly controllable. The parent just didn't want to BOTHER making the effort. God I'm glad it's friday. Humanity has just been pissing me off all week.

-that if I feel like he's full of shit and red flags are waiving he IS an emotional conquistador like the LAST one that made me feel the same way.
-if he has mommy issues you should dump him
-drinking on an almost empty stomach will ALWAYS make me puke
-being single and not living with a boyfriend is WAY more fun than the alternative
-My friends in NYC are the real deal and will always be [too bad I'm in LA]
-30 is fucking great
-a guy you are with for 3 months can make you miserable for almost a year after...
2008 was a lot of crap.
I got my heart annihilated by a douchebag, learned some valuable career lessons, got the best roommate I've ever had [she's #15!], turned 30, called in sick with a hangover for the first time ever, fell in love with Mad Men, and realized I'd rather hang out with my dog than any lame douchey guy.
Bring on 2009, can't wait!!!

He went to film school at NYU. I should have known. What the fuck is wrong with that place, anyway?
12/27/08
Seriously, they're monsters.
12/27/08
It's strange how if one listened to the tales of my dating life one would assume I had no self-respect whatsoever. I have dated three separate NYU film students, and I should definitely have known better after about five minutes with the first.

as for emotional trust and seeing other people, it is your business, but not the way you asked. you didn't even ask. it felt accusatory, and i didn't appreciate it. i would've responded differently had it been framed differently. you might as well have said, i don't even know if you're fucking other people. are you fucking other people? are you sucking other cocks? i mean, is that the way you'd like me to bring up wondering if you're seeing other people? of course not. it was abrasive from you, and i was abrasive in return. also, on emotional trust, you still don't know much about me. you haven't seen my freaking apartment, for christ's sake. i know i haven't invited you out a lot, but when i did i got the sense it was a big deal for you. and somehow i just can't imagine you taking the train to come over here. i just feel you'd be ill at ease somehow at my place. it's hard to explain. anyway, you're probably thinking i should've invited you out here more, and i'm thinking you should've suggested it more. you've made me feel bad for being indecisive in the past, but i can't help how i am. i don't like having to make plans and suggest things all the time. sure, you ask me when i'm free, but that's about it. i think we both have a strange sense that we're doing all the work.
Ah, CEFAD, if only these emails did not require so much context to print I would send them to you.

As it turned out, he was a consummate douchebag who did, in fact, just have too many feelings.

The douches with mommy issues always reel me in before I realized the shitpile I'm in for. Bonus if I can make them cry!
