I agree. I think having all smart and well behaved people is better than having dumb, rude, loud or violent people for diversity.

He screamed the F word

My son was standing in a cart
I said sit down or it will tip
He did not sit down
It tipped
I did not help him up
(A woman literally ran over and said what is wrong with you, I said, "guess he won't stand up again")
I picked up the cart and the food that fell out and walked away and my son just walked behind me.
We never spoke of it, no punishment, no told you so... just continued on.

I have many more.

Why did you format this like it's the "First the Nazis came for the Jews and I did not say anything because I was not a Jew" poem lmfao.

First they came for the DCUM posters who were chubby
And I did not speak out
Because I was not chubby
Then they came from the DCUM posters who weren't married to Big Law partners
And I did not speak out
Because I was married to a Big Law partner
Then they came for the DCUM posters who let their kid scream in Target
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

Does she commute from your house? Is she on a full-tuition scholarship? Is she at a community college? Does she have a full-time job?

Not sure how that’s possible otherwise unless you’re understating what you mean when you say “we fund some expenses.”

It is called been working and saving since 11. College is four hours away at a state Uni. Tuition almost laid for but not room and board. We give 200 a month for gas and pay car insurance. Books are on her too.

We buy some groceries but she pays for hello fresh, her apartment, electric, rental insurance. She won't be able to work full time going forward for next two years so it is college loans.

She paid cash for her used car.

What does an 11 year old do for work?

And are you low-income? If not, why would you put her in this position?

Kids can ref soccer as an AR starting at 11. Lifeguarding and more.

We didn't "put" her in any position. We paid for our college and paid off our loans in less than 10 years.

We did

It is your responsibility to pay for your child’s university education; that is why the FAFSA asks about & bases EFC on parental assets.

No worries, your daughter has leverage here to restrict your access to your future grandkids.

So says the anonymous Chairborne Ranger.

You mean the PP who thinks it’s a badge of honor to neglect her daughter?

Oh sure not paying for college for your kid is obvious neglect. What a moron!

In 2023, yes it is, if you want in the slightest for your child to be competitive in life & in the workplace.

Wrongo.

Thousands are entering trade schools and paying for it themselves. Going on believing your brand of BS.

So true!

Also brother is a Harvard MBA

This is not a knock against Katie, but her appearance is just everything I imagine DCUM's to approve of. Not overweight, very fit (obviously). Simple haircut. Clean look. Her style seems to be preppy, modest (but not weird), muted, classic, simple. Makeup, but very natural look. No visible logos. Straight teeth. Simple jewelry.

Family lives in Bethesda. House is spacious, but not gaudy. Brick colonial. (My parents live a few blocks away, don't judge.) I'm sure it is very classy and clean on the inside.

Even her and her brother's names exemplify the DCUM dream: Katie and Michael. Simple. "Classic."

She's an ug-o

Thumbs down

How many Olympic medals do you have?

That's not the burn you think it is

I wish I had your self esteem.

I hope you get it soon, because you cannot imagine how enjoyable life becomes once you have it!

With each passing year I’m getting there. About to hit 40 this may be the decade I just do whatever I want!

I mean.. we like and appreciate good food, spend time making it, eating it and talking about it to each other. I don’t think we are smug or obnoxious but it seems like DCUM would think we are anyway.
