“No Gift” party invitations: Bring something if you want just don’t get all mad if your inability to read makes your family social pariahs.

Birthday invites and siblings: Bring siblings if you want just don’t get all mad if your inability to read makes your family social pariahs.

Janney PTA contribution: It’s your money you don’t have to spend it if you don’t want to just don’t get all mad if your frugality makes your family social pariahs.

Visiting in-laws: It’s your house you don’t have to host anybody coming to town if you don’t want to just don’t get all mad if your insistence that they get a hotel room makes your family social pariahs.

True, but you still need to (1) Nip this in the bud, (2) Set some boundaries, and moving quickly to (3) Cut her off.

But , how do you keep your thing clean?

This too, shall pass.

Only you are responsible for your reactions (may extend to therapy).

Other people are different than you (this includes parenting, thoughts, actions, how chosen act, etc.)

It’s not always about you. In fact, it’s probably rarely about you.

NO BLACKFACE. EVER. EVERRRR.

Yes, even brown face makeup on a white person will be considered blackface by many.

Don’t do it. This means you, Karen.

Unless your Lt. Governor is a rapist. Then you can get away with it because there's no one to replace you with.

Well, yeah. That goes without saying.

Y’all missed the revelation this week about the governor of Alabama in blackface. I think she’s probably going to get away with it too.

You’re right. I hadn’t heard of this.

Your HHI is apparently $300K. You’re really going to agonize over $5 worth of chicken/eggs/ takeout?

Two days before a major holiday is not the time to decide to teach your u grateful kid a lesson by making them volunteer for the holiday. These organizations exist, and need help, 356 days a year. Most actually need your help move on a random Tuesday in February, than they do on Thanksgiving. Stop using poverty as a lesson, and start actually helping.
