Awkward:
Awkward: tuning into a lunchroom conversation just in time to hear something that convinces you that an otherwise likable coworker is a crappy parent.
Honestly. I'll never be able to look at this woman again without part of me thinking, RESPONSIBLE PARENTING FAIL.
Does that make me Judgey McJudgerson? Maybe. I don't care. As an adult you're free to make bad choices and screw up your own life all you want, as long as you don't expect me to pay for it/subsidize it/bail your ass out, whatever. But I have very little tolerance for people who screw up (or potentially screw up) their kids' lives. You'd think more people in education would get that.
