Push present... sounds like something a rich man came up with so that his wife would forgive him for cheating on her with the secretary, the intern and the dog walker while wife was pregnant.
In my humble opinion, it is ridiculous.
This is so spot on I couldn't not post it here!

How could you be pro-choice and Vegan? - Bonny22Pye
Woot! I made it to the board!!
Well, Bonny, it's an excellent question. The answer must be fascinating!
He couldn't really answer it. He said based upon true vegan all living things have a right to live that he should be pro-life, but he thinks a woman's right to choose trumps that. It was an awkward conversation because he had no real belief system.

Well, this woman chooses to eat meat!

So your parents gave you a shot of jack with a lemonade chaser?
I wish. No, they'd heat up the glass of lemonade and pour the JD into it.
I find this funny that FWM, as a kid, was wishing for and knew about a shot and chaser.
No...It wasn't me! It was FNW!

I was raised on JD. My parents used to give it to me when I had a cold. A shot in warm lemonade. I hated it, and used to ask to drink each one separately.

Yes Carolyn is ridiculous. Her parents are the "bad guys" for paying her way? Wow. Let's encourage her to be entitled and selfish instead. Yes, there are ALWAYS strings attached in life if someone else is paying your way. In my opinion, you are not an adult UNTIL you pay your own way in this world.
How about this? ""Dear 21. Your parents have been extremely generous is paying your way through college. No doubt, they have worked hard all of their adult lives to make it possible to finance your college tuition. They have probably skimped, saved and have foregone many of their own interests to make this possible for you. Now, they ask one thing. That you finish your senior year without living with your BF which they have moral concerns about. Maybe you don't think it is wrong, but they do and they do not think it in your best interest. So, are you really going to say, that you cannot just finish out your final year in school without living with your BF ? Your life will develop and happen in time. Listen to your parents. Focus on your final year of school and doing well. When you start earning your own money, then you can make your own choices in life whether your parents approve or not.
Beautifully said.

We also have unreasonable expectations of girls' teams vs boys' teams. On boys' teams, crap like this happens all of the time and no one bats an eye. But we expect everything on girls' teams to be sunshine and rainbows and unicorn farts and for the girls to be "sisters for life". That's unrealistic. The only thing they need to be able to do is play the game on the field. Off the field, the don't have to be BFF's, they don't have to be "sisters for life", they don't even HAVE to be friendly. We don't expect it from boys' teams - we just expect them to get the job done - and we shouldn't expect it from girls' teams.
Soon, hopefully the LW will put on her Birkenstocks and traipse off to Berkeley, become a follower of Ching Hai, and slap a "gender is dead" bumper sticker on her Prius.
NJN on the Bernie thread ... "I thought this was going to be about him throwing his back out. Didn't know he could throw much of anything else."
Yeah! You love me. You really really love me!

It is very discombobulating to me that every time I look at the thread it says, Let's Eat. Quickly followed by RIP Fluffy.
