What's a false tabloid?. Cause I don't understand at all.
HA! I've been going on about that all afternoon.
Saffron: I'll die. Mal: Well, as a courtesy, you might start getting busy on that, 'cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just don't get where the automatic assumption that honesty, even about difficult issues, equals deliberately humiliating your children
How do you feel about it in this instance? I think, as a kid (pre-18 or so), I'd have been mortally embarassed at the level of detail, which is completely separate from the disquiet at learning that my mother has ranked her love in public, and I lose. She's posted elsewhere that she'd make one of her kids take a bullet to save her husband's life, and I can say that's the sort of public honesty I'd find mortifying for a host of reasons.

I love the PS...That's the best part, Kristen.

It is! And they'd be my favorite too if they paid me $2M for photos of my "faux" wedding.

ita, I think Waldman's kids should be as bitter about this:
Frankly, at this stage they are far more interested in Gaia online and Muffin Films Web sites, but there will surely come a day when they will Google themselves, find my blog and both be furious with me for having stolen their lives and humiliated at the extent to which I have laid open my own. I told the New York Times reporter that blogging was "payback for driving back and forth to gymnastics all week long," but I don't really believe that.

I guess I'm less appalled by the CultOfMommydom being upset and more weirded out at what Betsy said. Too much info and not locked down enough.

Dirty laundry, and not even hers. I find her PoV thought-provoking, but am not comfortable with the urgency with which she reveals what she admits are fleeting thoughts and half-truths to the world, including her kids. The only thing fleet about her thoughts once they hit the internet is the wildfire-way they spread. That shit will linger.

Really? It would be both depressing and poetic if she hired someone to do it.
You do know that my post was in reference to Britney, yes?

Kristen, where do you get your car washed?
