Gail walked off "Princess" when the show tried to force her to give everyone $5,000 whether they made progress, or not. She wasn't about to give payouts to lazy women who refused to follow the rules and make the necessary changes, so she shut down production (it was her show, her brainchild), and she said she'd never to such a show again, nor would she have anything to do with tv.

[@Wyledgirl30]

I agree that no one can pour from an empty cup, but using “I deserve it” as an excuse to overspend when you don’t have it is too much of an overcorrect. It’s like she’s saying “I’ve had to help everyone else swim, now I’m going to leap over Niagara Falls.”

Shout out to the introvert teachers. I completely understand what Kirsten is saying: she doesn't see it working for her. Teaching isn't for everyone, introvert or extrovert, but if it's right for you, it works.

Since her severance was 6 months, she probably wasn't working as an executive assistant for 15 years at the same job. She probably started working at 15 and had to help the family with the money she earned, maybe paying for stuff for her siblings. Just my guess. 🤷‍♀️

[@katemiller7874]

I hate when parents are so lazy to make the older one watch the younger ones. You had the kids

[@janisdrew-cross4417]

[@SuzanneU]

The parents are probably both working their butts off to put a roof over everybody's head and food in everybody's bellies. Don't assume that mommy is lying on the couch watching soapies! They may not have a spare adult family member with the time and money to watch the kids. The task of keeping an eye on younger siblings isn't slave labour and it gets handed on as older kids grow up and move out. I was the oldest and I did watch my sibs while my mother was at work full time. It didn't kill me. I was fed, clothes, educated, saw the doctor, saw the dentist, got new glasses as my myopia progressed...

If you’re going to wear a dress to an interview-type setting, always make sure it’s no shorter than just above the knee so it doesn’t ride up when sitting, it has a medium neckline to reduce cleavage, and always wear sleeves, whether they’re on the dress or a blazer or cardigan. Tights or stockings also add a professional feel to a skirt or dress. That’s not sexist, that’s just professional. Personally I’m heavily tattooed so I always follow these rules out of necessity, but it’s always a good look.
