I mean, if you degrade someone, you isolate them, you control them, you call them names, you demean them. That's a horrible existence for people.

It's better to be healthy alone than sick with someone else.

I mean, look, teachers don't do their job for the money, obviously, because we pay them ridiculously little amounts for what they put in. Most of them come out of their own pocket for materials and things to help the children and all that.

A lot of people do have tragic childhoods. But you know what? Get over it.

My dad used to say that the holidays are when you get a whole bunch of people that really aren't that close and don't know each other that well and overcrowd them into a small room for an extended period of time so they can make each other miserable.

It's great if the in-laws themselves put up boundaries. But if they won't; it's up to their grown kids to do it and enforce them.
