February Full Bonus Episode -- Video

My daughter absolutely loathes pickles and always has. I LOVE them. To each their own!

Bri Winans

To be fair I will literally eat anything except pickles I think they are so gross

Lucia Rosace

What if you thought broccoli was cute and you really love broccoli and don’t want to eat broccoli because morally you don’t want to kill broccoli because you think it’s cute and you love it… then someone tricks you into eating broccoli and then you have massive gas and bloating because you never eat broccoli (broccoli kills my stomach) It’s a two way street!! Tricking someone into eating something they don’t want to is wrong. No matter what. Even by omission.

Sara

I would absolutely send that kid away! Absolutely!! Sorry I’m with Morgan on this one. No way could I go on raising or even looking at that kid!

Sara

I’m watching this late so it’s hilarious to watch you guys feel offended by crotch goblin bc it’s just a term that got popular on tiktok used for babies . Moms use it and non moms ofc in a joking way .

Aliciana Osoria

whenever I used to do interviews I was told it was a big HR nono to ask an applicant if they had kids due to discrimination laws. If an applicant offers that information you can discuss with limitations but you aren't allowed to outright ask at least at the company I was with. You also aren't supposed to use the information of the applicant having kids or wanting future kids in your decision because discrimination. So he may have just had that reaction due to knowing info like that or even possible discrimination at other jobs.

She has to go to a psychiatrist. Doesn't matter who it is. That's psychiatrist has to diagnose her with something. Then social security comes in and they pay you. Anytime this girl loses her Marbles Police. The more Police reports the better your case. You can always put her in a cycle for 72 You can always put her in a cycle for 72 hours. But then you would have to take her home or leave her to The Streets. The more police reports you get, and the more times that she's put in a psych Hold. The better your chances that you're going to get hurt in a facility permanently. If not you will at least get Therapy paid for and money from her from social security Coma to possibly get her her own apartment and let her live by herself. She has a diagnosis they just can't say it yet. Her diagnosis is definitely bipolar , Intermittent explosive disorder

Mental health This country is god awful. That is why . There's nowhere to go In New York And my brother could never get any help that he needed. Either it cost too much, it wasn't covered , my , my brother didn't like the psychiatrist. Which is normal. But he has a very long existing now because no 1 helped him. Understandably he could have tried to help him himself. He never did that either

Stacy Wells

My brother was diagnosed with intermittent explosive disorder. Personally I think it was made-up. I am a nurse. So I've seen a lot. But my but my brother is just weird. He function like he's normal but then he just rages. He is destroyed my mother's house he has abused my .mothe r. He was on depakote and that seemed to work. He is now 44 years old but lives with my mother and has no life whatsoever

Stacy Wells

And another thing, don't ask a person if they have more than 1 child such as twins or triplets , if they're natural... It is rude. Is like me asking could you have sex Doggy style To get a girl ? Don't ask me question It's none of your business

Stacy Wells

The problem also becomes many residential treatment centers run on average 15 to 30k PER MONTH!!!!! and so if insurance won’t cover (which often / most of the time they don’t) there is literally no financial ability to help their child

Ian’s Flaps

Also as the commenter said…it is so much more complicated to get mental health help because of insurance, diagnosis requirements, and other nuances and complexities and you truly do not know until you go through it. Very similar experience with my sibling who had mental health issues (nonviolent) and we could not get her help because there are many hoops you have to jump through

Ian’s Flaps

In therapist school: your personality is not even “fully formed” until around 12 and even then with therapy certain harmful patterns of behavior can be unlearned. That is why they do not give minors personality disorder diagnosis of any type. There are separate categories of diagnosis for children that are developmentally appropriate

Ian’s Flaps

Thank you Lauren!<3 Morgan; disappointed that you judge veganism

Rebecca Markussen

Veganism is usually a morality thing, vegetables are not. The tought of eating body parts makes me feel sick on such a fucked psychological level

Rebecca Markussen

I feel for Lauren on the job interview question ! The knee jerk reaction from the applicant may have been because he didn’t want to answer due to a possible bias against hiring someone w/ kids due to needing more time off, unable to work late etc. it can be a conscious or subconscious bias so I understand why this person may have been concerned. Especially if they have been looking for work for a while it’s tough out there!

Cilla

For the sperms donation one. I donated eggs. I had to sign a form stating that whether I like it or not, the possible kids that come from my donation are allowed and WILL have access to me if they so choose when they turn 18. The parents in the situation also have access to me in case of a possible health issue. No one's ever reached out. But I did have to sign all this and undergo counciling because of all this. I jumped through hoops. It was awful but worth the money.

Sarah B

For the 10 year old story, what if she is okay with her mom not giving her attention now as long as her mom can’t give that attention to another child that isn’t her… in a if it can’t be me it won’t be anyone mentality.

Mariah Dowell

For the story of the woman who doesn’t want kids: i understand that you can get criticized for both wanting/having kids and not wanting/not having kids. My sister for example doesn’t want kids, and she’s been clear about this due to the fact she had a big hand in raising me, my cousin and some of our friends, she feels like she already had children and doesn’t want more. I completely understand that and understand she doesn’t want kids, and I get annoyed when people make snide comments about it to her because I know people should mind their business and not having kids is her decision. However I have always wanted kids. It’s been my dream since I was a little girl to find love and have lots of children, and if I’m fortunate enough to adopt some as well. I’ve worked as a nanny and worked at a day care and babysat since I was a tween. My sister doesn’t understand that this is what I want, or that this is my dream, and it does hurt when she makes comments about it. When I was 18 almost 19 I was going through a vicious break up from a four year relationship, and my sister made a comment and has made similar since in the past year (I’m 20 now) that “she’s glad I haven’t found the love of my life/someone who truly loves me because i’m to young for marriage or children, and she doesn’t understand why I would ever want that.” Which i understand 20 is young, but it still hurts every time she says that, as it feels like salt in the wounds. So I can understand how those people would be uncomfortable with someone being so nasty about children, and I could understand how it would hurt if people invalidate you for not wanting them.

Casey Kaplan

Obsessed with this Cyrus talk

Tayler Hammond

I can’t get through my day without saying trash

Tayler Hammond

Omg! When I was pregnant with my daughter I would gag/throw up in my mouth when I brushed my teeth. My daughter is now 6 years old and I STILL do this sometimes. 🫠

Kaitlyn Simeona

i’m a psychology student and regarding the crazy child story: children can’t be diagnosed with personality disorders because they’re still in development. the frontal cortex is only fully matured after adolescence, and from the psychoanalytical point of view, children are born with no moral judgment whatsoever. they do not understand that other people have feelings and needs just like them. therefore, although children should know better at 10, she may have a developmental issue that causes her to not have this moral sense of what’s right and what’s wrong. giving the story, i do not think it’s the case, but that’s the reason why she can not be diagnosed until she’s out of her teens. hope this clears things up! (sorry for my shit grammar, english is not my first language)

Exactly what I was thinking! It gave me SUCH an ick with the "skinnier" part. OP assumed that his partner was unhealthy because of his weight. I'm fat, and I've come to be okay with that, but not everyone is. There's nothing wrong with being fat- unlike OP is suggesting- as fat doesn't necessarily mean that you're unhealthy. I'm in excellent health as it pertains to my weight, as the health issues I had existed long before I put on weight. I couldn't get over the attitude of the OP, especially since there was no mention of a doctor stating that their husband was unhealthy; that would've been something else entirely if there had been genuine medical backing. It just seems like OP was veiling his anti-fat sentiments behind "health". I also HATE tomatoes as well, so I understand entirely!! I've had similar situations and reactions, because I don't mind pizza or ketchup, but dislike raw tomatoes and prefer alfredo over pasta sauce. So I totally get it!!

Bee

Regarding the lasagna story: did anyone miss the "skinnier" part? Basically being sneaky about something because you want your partner "skinnier." And hide it behind, "AND healthy." That's just gross... Also, I HATE tomatoes, the amount of people and times people try to convince me that I CAN like tomatoes if I just try. I love pasta sauce and ketchup, but they taste nothing like raw tomatoes, let's be real. And people will add tomatoes to things and be like, see you like tomatoes! And it's icky, because it's like they're trying to one up me on something and convince me of something that regards MY food preferences. Leave what people want and want not to eat alone. Stop omitting things and stop being sneaky. I agree with the post vote that everyone sucks. You can't dictate what's worse to sneakily feed someone, meat or veggie. It's just wrong.

Stephanie B

see i dont think it was intentional. his husband never said is this vegan and he answered no. he just served it to him, he never lied to him.

Mary Hallaren

The vegan lasagna story - i completely agree that a vegan being fed meat w/o consent is totally objectively worse than the other way around. BUT i will say personally i have a sensitive stomach and certain veggies and/or meat substitutes can really mess with me and give me the shits :/ and this sounds crazy but like my brother feels depressed when he eats legumes/lentils and beans , so i def think it’s wrong to feed someone something w/o their consent! No judgment at all just a diff perspective :)

Brittany George

Lawyer checking in for the self defense with a child You can kill a child in self defense and have it be “legal” but it’s a lot harder to make that claim The elements of reasonableness and imminent threat are lowered when it’s a child, obviously the force needed to stop a child vs an adult will be lower so it shouldn’t get to the point of death The goal regardless of age should be incapacity and not death so it’s a lot harder to say that it was necessary to kill a child

Hadiya

I gag at the smell of pickles and will not eat them. However I love cucumbers and pickled onions. I don’t understand it but something about pickles is gross to me. 😂

Maria Martinez

imagine looking at medical paperwork and in the notes it just says "sociopath?" -- that gave me the chuckle I needed after that story

Mac

The vegan lasagna story: I’m fairly a picky eater, and it actually pisses me off when people try to get me to eat something that I have already said no thank you to. There are some foods I genuinely don’t like and make me gag, and then some I just don’t enjoy much, so I don’t want to eat them. With the story, no he didn’t trick him into ingesting poison or something he was morally opposed to, but he still tricked him into eating something after he already told him he doesn’t want to eat vegan food. That’s my main issue with the story, sometimes you just need to accept no as the answer and not manipulate a situation

Nate King

For the guy that was donating his sperm, I would be more upset that he didn't tell me. However, I would have to explain to him that those are not his children and this was in fact our first child.

Paige Martonhegyi

The second story: Morgan I’m in the same boat as you. My bio father signed his rights over to my dad who adopted me at 4. I literally call my bio father my sperm donor, because he isn’t in my life.
