Snarky in the Suburbs

Not one, not two, but three Dear Snarky letters that deal with everything from wedding trauma to a woman who is done, I’m talking DONE, with her in-laws. My Rant is about a trend called Registry Raffles (sigh) and I go off on “suggested dress attire.” The Snarky confession ties the whole pod together when I admit I was once a really bad wedding guest. Not the stuff of Dear Snarky letters bad or at...

Oh my, you have a stepmother of the groom who got disrespected at one of her stepson’s weddings and she’s afraid it’s going to happen again because another stepson is getting married next week. My advice might not be what the stepmom wants to hear. My Rant is exciting because I will unveil three aging superpowers and they’re all amazing. The Observation is why women aren’t getting remarried. Here’...

This Dear Snarky letter is the worst. It deals with the ultimate dirtbag husband. Then I segue to a rant that’s still male focused and it deals with why do we make so many excuses for men. Seriously – why? My Observation is an ode that I’m calling “In Praise of the Pessimist.” Next up I call some B.S. on two recent surveys about airline travel and Halloween candy. They couldn’t be more wrong. We f...

Buckle up for a Rant Palooza! Seven rants that range from Christmas to idiots online. But never fear the Dear Snarky letter is still here. This one deals with squatting and not the kind you do at the gym. I’ve also got some Halloween goodies for you that I’m sure you’ll find delicious.    If you want more Snarky goodness (and let’s be honest you do) check out my five fun and fab fall reads 🍁 by c...

Beware of family because as loads of Dear Snarky letters have shown many are not to be trusted and I have a letter that proves this point. Yikes! Then I’ve got a rant about shame and fear – have they disappeared? Next up is a new addition to the Snarky line up and it’s called “the dumbest thing I’ve been told this week.” Trust me it’s dumb, really dumb.  My observation is about birth order and per...

We’ve got a Dear Snarky letter about new moms that aren’t messing around with their baby dos and don’ts. I’m talking Google docs and hidden cameras. The next Dear Snarky is from a woman who wants to cancel her extended family vacation and is looking for input. Spoiler - yes, she needs to cancel. My Rant is about loser comments and the Observation is also about the L word. As in how to know if you’...

The Dear Snarky letters today range from a hostess with the mostess throwing an engagement party that escalated into a family feud to a marital separation that gave me the icks. My Rant is about macabre Halloween decorations. When is enough, enough? The Observation deals with money and manners – two great things that go great together. The Snarky Confessional is about how I’m actively disliking pe...

⚔️ It’s a Special Edition Snarky! I’m going deep on my Traitors journey and I’m thrilled you’re coming along with me.

It’s another fab day in Snarky Land and the fun starts with two Dear Snarky letters my friends. One is a truly horrific tale of a vacation disaster, and the other one is about a mother who sounds truly terrible. The Rant is all about me going off on a mansplainer manspreading loser. Good times. My Observation proves that my fear of rollercoasters was indeed warranted. Then in the Snarky Confession...

Who doesn’t love a Dear Snarky letter about fancy private school drama? No one – that’s the short answer and this letter delivers. Then we have an update from the woman who wrote us the letter about her joy that her marriage is now romance free. She’s kind of ticked off at us. My rant is about A.I. and my observation deals with job interview etiquette. Do you really need to bring in your venti ice...

The letter palooza continues with loads more Dear Snarky letters. We’ve got tons of drama baby! In my Observation there’s more treachery in the great outdoors and I’m freaking out. My Snarky Confession is certified fresh and took place in the Halloween candy aisle. 🎃 🍫👻 If you want more Snarky goodness and five fun and fab fall reads 🍁 then love bugs run don’t walk to buy all my super fab book...

It’s an Historic Snarky Podcast! We have three Dear Snarky letters. All of them are jaw droppers. They range from toxic in-laws to a daughter that needs to be rescued from a horrific marriage. My Observation is all about my Traitors Watch Party which was so much fun and the Rant is about air travel. Y’all it just keeps on getting worse.  If you want more Snarky goodness and five fun and fab Septem...

Stop the Presses – I’ve gotten a Dear Snarky letter with a topic I’ve never addressed before. It’s interesting – I’ll give it that. My Rant is the ongoing saga of the medical community hurting my feelings. It has to stop people. In the Observation department so many things are rattling around in my brain from thinking I saw my mom’s doppelganger in the grocery store parking lot to deadly grandmas....

This my friends is a super fun podcast. First, we’ve got a juicy letter about a “infidelity intervention” and a pastor uncle who goes rogue on the pulpit. Be still my heart. My Rant is yummy and multifaceted and involves a mother-of-the-groom who says the bride and mother-of-the bride subjected her to a “humiliation ritual.” OMG! My Observation is random and involves silver, as in the silver you g...

It’s a Two Snarky Letter Day! We start out with a letter about creating one big happy family and the other one is what I’m going to call Mother-of the-Bride wedding woes. My Rant is about Debbie Downers and Gloomy Guses. Ugh. The Observation deals with the current state of air travel. So, it’s come to this - duct taping passengers to their seat. What’s happened to the friendly skies? The Snarky Co...

Just OMG on the Dear Snarky letter! It proves to me that maybe it’s a whole lot better staying single. My rant is about killer otters and bears that have no F’s to give. The Observation is all about perhaps one of the world’s worst mothers-in-law. I can’t stop thinking about this lady. Finally, in the Snarky Confession I share how my life is about to change.   If you want more Snarky goodness and...

A woman called off her wedding three weeks before the big day and her grief isn’t just about a broken heart it’s about getting the groom and his “toxic” parents to pony up some cash. My Rant is about waving. Are we a nation that no longer waves? Am I a crazy waver? So many questions. The Observation is another discussion about kindergarten readiness. We’ve got problems people. We finish the pod wi...

We’re starting off with a Dear Snarky letter that gave me the biggest icks. In my Rant I go off on the medical establishment - as in get better testing for your “elderly” patients. The Observation is where I ask the question how many bridal and baby showers or too many showers? And fresh from the Snarky Confessional it’s all about the merch.    If you want more Snarky goodness and five great late...

Buckle up there’s a lot going on in this podcast. We start off with a Dear Snarky letter that as a parent I would be freaking out over. Then we already have an update from the mom that wrote us last week about how her grown daughters are shunning her because she’s divorcing their dad. The Rant and Observation are all about back-to-school. I go off on lunch shaming, mom shaming and how some schools...

Y’all this Dear Snarky letter proves being a mother can be a thankless job. Perhaps the most thankless. In the WTH? department I’m confused about the potty-training journey. It’s taken a detour to team diapers – for a very long time. My observation is about the royal family. Harry and Meghan are going back to England. The holidays are going to be very awkward. Do you think I’ll get a Dear Snarky l...

We’ve got a Dear Snarky letter that is sad, but I think the topic is something a lot of us can relate to. Then I have an update that is good and yet also a cautionary tale about dirt bag family members. For the rant I share when I thought I was dying. (#hypochondriacal) My observation is about wedding dress codes. (Yes, I’m talking about that again.) And in the Snarky Confession I’m questioning my...

We’re mixing this up today and starting off with the Snarky Confession. 😉  It’s a good one. Then we get to the Dear Snarky letter and just wow! What would you do if your sister-in-law was cosplaying being you? My Rant is about how green gingham pants and a blue gingham shirt launched hundreds of outraged comments. In the Observation are mega expensive dorm rooms losing their luster? Oh my!   If y...

Welcome Snarky Squad! Today a letter writer is reaching out to all of us for advice about visiting a mother who she says is actively mean to her and has been most of her life. Yikes! My rant is about school supplies and people’s very raw emotions about the school supplies they buy going into the school supply closet and not being only for their child. I don’t get it. Isn’t sharing caring? My Obser...

Would you abandon a friend that was going through a very difficult time? We’ve got a Dear Snarky letter that examines that issue. Then brace yourself because I’m admitting that I might have given the wrong advice for three freaking years. Three years people! Of course it concerns weddings. Sigh. Next, my rant is about people who can’t get out of their own way when dealing with another person’s emo...

We’ve got a lot to talk about and it starts with the Dear Snarky letter.  A little meeting at an attorney’s office to go over a will results in a mom getting some harsh words from her children. Justified or good intentions gone a little rouge? Then I share two letters from people who are doing a “top this” with their take on some recent Dear Snarky letters. One, you mark my words, is destined to b...
