Sad when a grown man has to rely on his elementary school age daughter for relationship advice.

Well, when you put it like that…

Out of the mouths of babes, talking about other babes…

And there you have it, relationships are easy when you take the hormones out of the mix. But then….

Look at it this way, Mike: You didn’t get stuck with a loser kid like Jeff.

When I met my wife I was sure to not dally. She said yes on our two month anniversary.

she’s talking like the kardahsians

Well can’t say Alex is wrong.

she’s not wrong…

I wonder if Kim let him kiss her sweet spot ? That should get things started , it should at least , I think .

She sounds exactly like my daughter when she was that age; I alternately found it incredibly annoying and amazingly hysterical. I loved that… once.

Didn’t the kid with all the advice intercept the emails from Paris and prevent her dad from getting the straight scoop. Now, she’s giving advice.

Hey kid, don’t you have some homework? Oh yeah, he is your home work. …carry on.

Even sadder when a grown man gives his daughter unfettered access to his personal email account(s).

Harsh, maybe, but spot on. The sad part is I’m so invested in a storyline from another era, like I don’t know already how this ends…

Without the word like, some people would be speechless.

Somebody spends a lot of time watching Dr. Phil.

I’d grab a beer (or even better, a whisky) if I were you, “Dadster”!

“Relationships For Dummies”. She’s like a great book to put on your reading list.

Kim probably jumped on t he next plane after Mike.She’ll walk in any minute.

SPOILER ALER!!………………..Kim…………….naah.

reading this, I’m all like: dude…

One of the great things about having your young children around is that they see things that you are uncoscious of

You’re like, she’s like, you’re like – nothing to like about that!

And I’m like, just like, over the overuse of ‘like’.

I always hate that it’s up to HIM to do it. So she wants to go or she wants to stay with him? Was it wrong of him to let her chose? She could’ve said that she wanted to stay and get married, would he like to do so? If not leave for Paris. She also did not move a finger to stay/save the relationship but …. he is the dummy.

It’s like, you know?

She’s not wrong…

Alex is summarizing Kim’s point of view. Mike should listen.

Sounds like someone needs reminding she pulled the switch on the train tracks. Sure, he’s a doofus, but she sealed the deal. Hopefully Kim is smarter than either of them (likely) and comes back on the scene to help smarten them both up. (I like her as a character.)

He just tuned out after the first “like”. Smart dad!

Happens more than you know.

I’m confused as to exactly when the daydream (Sept. 4) transitioned to reality.
