@dissproportion Disagree…my mom is 90…Mother’s Day is all about her…everyone else takes a back seat!

Hot take: grandmas shouldn’t expect anything on Mother’s Day. They have their own day now and they had Mother’s Day when they had little kids, they shouldn’t horn in on a second dedicated day when they can sleep in everyday.

@mattvanswol Your image is 💯 false!!!

When I was in school, a "B+" was a 92 and an "A-" was a 93-95. What was considered an A when you were in school?

@DeAngelisCorey The Duggars?…

Homeschoolers get to avoid a lot of negative socialization: • Fights • Gangs • Drugs • Bullying • Crime • Abuse • Obedience training • Teen pregnancy

@mattvanswol So when they pull their kid out of school for a week for a family vacation and teacher is expected to catch them up….

🚨HOLY CRAP!!! A teacher at the "Kids Over Corporations" NC rally IMPLODES when asked: Reporter: "What would you say to parents who had to make last minute adjustments to get their kids taken care of today?" Teacher: "I understand that can be somewhat, off-putting..." ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!!!!! SOMEWHAT OFF-PUTTING?!!!! YOU LITERALLY SHUT DOWN SCHOOL FOR OVER A HALF A MILLION CHILDREN INCLUDING MY SON AND YOU THINK IT IS JUST MILDLY OFF-PUTTING????!!!!! IT'S ABSOLUTE INSANITY IS WHAT IT IS!!!!! SOME OF THESE KIDS ONLY GET A SOLID MEAL... AT SCHOOL!!!!!! PARENTS COULDN'T GO TO WORK YESTERDAY!!!! DID YOU GIVE A CRAP ABOUT THEM AT ALL???!!!! I AM SO SICK OF THIS!!!!! STOP USING OUR KIDS FOR YOUR POLITICAL AGENDA, I AM OVER IT!!!!!!!!!

@omgsidewalks Tired!

WHAT IS IT CALLED WHEN YOU DON’T FEEL DEPRESSED BUT ALL YOU WANNA DO IS BE IN YOUR BED ??

@courtneyknill It’s weird that you do…it’s called trust and communication not tracking

tbh I think it’s weird that some couples don’t share location with one another

@Bennieeexyz Stop blaming Covid…parents have changed…

I have been a teacher for 29 years. During that time, I have had good classes of students and not-so-good classes of students. NEVER in my life have I experienced the level of frustration that I am experiencing with this year's 9th graders. Don't get me wrong, there are some great kids in my classes, but on the whole, the level of disrespect and inability to stay focused on their tasks is off the chart. My patience is at an end..... This might be the year that I am done .

@RealSpitfire As a Catholic…he’s definitely mine

The current Pope is a political hack. I say this as a Catholic. Not my Pope.

@Eman_8282 A

My daughter asked me to wear green for her wedding 💚… which one wins 👀

@james_xond 42 last week and going strong

My parents have been together for 38 years. Anyone else here been with the same person for 30+ years?

@HamptonAc_ $1200 for DoorDash that’s preposterous

My boy just bagged a corporate job and called me hyped. "Ac, I'm set for life" $140K/year. Benefits. 401k match. Corner office. I congratulated him but I had to show him the math. $140K salary = $8,750/month after tax $2,800 rent $650 car payment (Audi A4) $280 insurance $180 gas $1,200 DoorDash $400 eating out $200 gym $120 subscriptions $1,500 bottle service $900 barber (2x a week) $500 going out $200 random expenses He's left with $820. Daycare? $2,000/month. Now he's -$1,180 every month. $140K/year is survival, bro. how about you setup a store

@Farha0__ Yeah that’s the parents job

@ronrule Good public schools raise your property value…

If you homeschool your kids, you should be exempt from the portion of your property taxes that goes to the local schools.

@NinaPanickssery Because we are still working!!!!

Genuinely curious—why don’t more people use their own parents/kid’s grandparents for childcare as opposed to daycare/preschool/nannies (which seem more common)? Is it common for boomer grandparents to show disinterest in their grandchildren?

@StuffWorthSee We did and still do

Why didn't our teachers make it this easy?

@NancyH_60 As long as you don’t expect the teacher to be a personal tutor upon your return…go for it.

Unpopular parenting opinion: I'm fine with my kids missing school for travel. Before anyone panics-yes, we absolutely try to travel during school breaks. But real life doesn't always line up perfectly... and I'm not skipping meaningful family experiences just to keep an attendance record spotless. These trips have given us connection, perspective, and memories we still talk about years later. I'll take that trade every time. I’d love to hear your opinion on taking kids out of school for vacation. I personally do not have a problem with it.

@Ben_Yoel Looks awkward; almost forced

Brandon Nimmo and Pete Alonso back together.

@TheFIRESatoshis @TheMattViera It’s not free healthcare…have to serve 25 years for a discounted rate

@TheMattViera The "teachers don't make money" narrative needs to die. Pension + healthcare for life is a comp package most startup employees would cry over.

When my friend started teaching she made $54k. Today she makes $117k. In her final year she'll make $150k+. When she retires she'll have: • A full pension • ~$1M invested • Health coverage for life All from a public school teaching career. With summers off.

@jim_desmond If I sell there is nowhere affordable to go in my area.

Seniors are sitting in 4-bedroom homes their kids grew up in — not because they want to, but because selling means getting crushed by capital gains taxes. Eliminate that tax. Put money back in their pockets. Give them a reason to downsize. That opens up family-sized homes for the next generation — without building a single new unit. Then pair it with down payment assistance so young families can actually afford to buy. It's that simple: Help seniors move. Help families move in. Put money back in people's pockets instead of taking more out.

@LizWolfeReason So very sorry for your loss. Will be praying for him and your family

King Solomon died yesterday at two and a half months old. We loved him really well, and we don't have any regrets. We got nine days at home with him after 61 days in the NICU. Nine will never feel like enough, but we must accept what is given to us––we were never in control. Let's take stock of all God's mercies, how He worked through people: My OB, who heard my conviction about carrying Sol to term even with his disabilities, and supported it fully, with empathy and respect; the nurses in the Lenox Hill NICU, where he spent the majority of his time, who loved him so tenderly, like he was their own; his physical therapist, who saw extreme hope for him despite his disabilities, and tried to make it so; my mom, who put her own life on hold to come live in New York with us for the whole winter, to watch Zev and keep our household running; Zev, who wanted to wear matching pajamas with his brother each night he was home (and some of the nights Sol was in the NICU), who was eager to come to the hospital with us to play in the lobby even though he wasn't often allowed in the NICU, who chose not to be afraid of hospitals or tubes but to touch and kiss and snuggle his brother whenever he was able; @nwilliams030 and @rSanti97, who camped out at the hospital during Sol's final days so we would never feel alone, who watched Zev whenever our family had to dip back down to Texas; the people who covered us in prayer all over the country. Perhaps most of all, I'm grateful for my husband: He wasn't Catholic or pro-life when we met, but life experience has brought him to these beliefs. They ground us now; his faith is steadfast. He didn't leave Sol's side during those final, hardest days. He doesn't falter. Something tragic happened to our family, but we won't become permanently sad or dark; we really believe in God's promises. We're called to hope, no matter what, and the best we can do is serve our children with everything we've got. That's what we did, and in the process we got to glimpse the goodness of the Lord over and over again.
