Iman Shumpert says he'd rather date a woman who has a close male friend
"What if your young lady was friends with another dude? You cool? Yeah. She going to understand me way better"
"When you dealing with a woman that don't got no male friends, she trying to keep it super strict for you. Do you know how much delusion you finna deal with on your phone?"
"Other friend ain't got no man. She giving all the advice. With no man"
"You got a best buddy that he's a dude. He got a job. He take care of his own kids and he pick up the phone for you. He give you advice. Oh yeah. Sign me up"
I sometimes feel as if I’m being hard on Marlo when I make him accomplish small tasks on his own. When he starts to get frustrated, I remind him, “You are capable. You don’t always need me.” I feel as if I’m being too harsh sometimes, but this video validates exactly why I do it.
In a new video, Jo Frost, aka Supernanny, warns that some modern parents are hindering their kids’ independence by choosing short-term convenience over teaching basic life skills.
The Instagram post featuring the video is filled with comments from teachers agreeing with her that it’s a growing concern.

My boss's boss is like 42, never married, no kids. Earns $275-300K per year. Goes on a minimum of two international vacations a year w/ his girlfriend. 10+ days, all out.
Eats the best food, stays in top notch accomodations. Excursions, tours, nicest beaches, etc.
Great guy, I'm happy for him.
But what I've realized is that without kids, you end up chasing a lifestyle that has to continually be topped in order for you to be satisfied and find happiness.
What he and others like him don't understand is that when you have children, seeing THEM experience life's most basic things and watching their eyes light up at all the "firsts", brings greater pleasure and joy than any vacation or travel experience ever could.
Seeing THEM try blueberries for the first time is greater than dining at the best 5 star restaurant in Europe.
Seeing THEM learn how to walk is greater than walking the Great Wall of China or strolling along the most picturesque beach.
Watching THEM giggle uncontrollably at "peek-a-boo" tops any A-list comedian act.
Seeing THEIR excitement when building a fort out of cardboard boxes and making a door big enough for daddy is superior to staying at 5-star resorts.
Flying kites with THEM far outweighs excursions like parasailing or helicopter rides.
Seeing THEM perform a recital on stage for the first time is more rewarding than watching a Broadway show or top notch symphony orchestra.
-----------------
When you have children, all of a sudden you realize that life's greatest joys are not in the pursuit of things or pleasure or travel, but rather in the LOVE and bond you share with your very own image bearers.
Seeing the beauty and magnificence and wonder of life all over again for the first time through THEIR eyes and expressions gives you something the world simply cannot offer, nor even come close.
This is like when we had new downstairs neighbors in our old apartment building. One Saturday morning the guy came up to our door and asked that we “try” to keep our son quiet and still. My husband stared at him and just said “He’s 3.”
@2ndtetrisblock Silent sex? Like silent on purpose or just silent all the time? If it’s the latter, are you even enjoying it? I’m seriously confused. No shade.
