Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #109: Daddy's Girls
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
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #108: One Sad Mama
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
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #107: Cosplaying Sister-in-Law
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 you
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #106: Old Fashioned?
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
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #105: Was I Wrong?
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
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #104: Old Lady Alert!
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 be
Snarky in the Suburbs #103: Jealous Shrews
Do we all need to take friendship course? Because based on the number of Dear Snarky letters I get about crappy friends I’m starting to think so. The letter today shows how a group of friends are being jealous shrews about how a 60 something woman chooses to spend the holidays. My rant is embarrassing because I had an epiphany this past weekend at the Apple Store that perhaps I’m as stupid as I’ve
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #102: Special Delivery
Just WTH on mothers-in-law wanting to be an eyewitness to the birth of their grandchildren? That’s our Dear Snarky letter and we’ve got an upset mother-in-law writing in. Next, and I’m very excited about this, we have an update from the woman whose relatives were “vultures” after the death of her mother. It’s juicy. My rant is all about wedding trends and most of them are downright ridiculous. Th
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #101 Dead Wrong
I’ve got a Dear Snarky that will make you say, “Are you kidding me?” I’m calling it Dead Wrong and it deals with the passing of a family member and the eruption of not grief but greed. My rant is about dorm living and why do some moms stay in their daughter’s dorm. Like WTH? In the Observation department filed under “chronically online” I’m sharing a prenup we all need to tell our daughters and gi
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #100: Freaky
It’s the 100th Snarky in the Suburbs podcast! So, of course we have to celebrate with a freaky Dear Snarky letter that left me feeling very uneasy. As a palate cleanser we giddy up on over to a couple of juicy rants and then in the Observations I ask the question can you have an expectation of privacy in a marriage? The Snarky Confession proves I’m a liar because I said I wouldn’t tell any more st
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #99: Whatever
Yay! We have two Dear Snarky letter updates and they’re both kind of juicy. I love that for us. Then after that fun I go on a rant about shopping. It’s mercifully short so don’t worry. Next up in the “I’m Chronically On-line” series I have a list of passive aggressive sayings that are big no-nos. Have I said all of them? Why, yes I have. We wrap things up with the Snarky Confession and it’s dorm
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #98: Generational Talent?
We’re starting off with the Dear Snarky letter that I’m so in love with. It’s as if I’m talking to my mother. The letter even has the word uncouth in it which is one of my mom’s favorite words. Next up is a random selection of rants that just feels good to get off my chest. Then I move on to talking about “generational talents.” Spoiler: I'm not one of them. Finally, I close out with the Snark
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #97: Death March
The Dear Snarky letter is a tear-jerker. A woman’s husband dies and his sisters who ghosted him during his illness are now contesting the will. Then we embark on a hike of doom and go even deeper on the Alpine Divorce. 😱 My rant is about freaking appliances. Why don’t they last longer??? I keep that mercifully short so we can quickly go to the Snarky Confession. It’s about the true-life tale of a
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #96: Cake in the Face
Get excited the Dear Snarky Grab Bag is back! We’ve got four mini Dear Snarky letters to discuss and they’re a tad juicy. Then it’s a rant palooza about why in the hell are there still “cake smashes” at weddings? Make it make sense. My Observation is can you be overly friendly and polite to the point of rudeness? Then just for funsies I share my Pilates near death experience. Finally, the Snarky C
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #95: Life, Liberty & The Pursuit of Crazy
It’s a Snarky Special Edition – In honor of the Fourth of July please join me for “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Crazy.” 🇺🇸 The pod special starts out with a Dear Snarky letter from a woman who’s organized the perfect July 4th family reunion beach photos and then a brand-new sister-in-law butts in. Uh-oh. Next up I go off on Independence Day bike parades where you’ll get to meet “Daddy Hurt Fee
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #94: Lap It Up
We’re starting off with a Dear Snarky letter from a woman who calls her man “perfect.” So, why is she writing me a Dear Snarky Letter? 🤔 Next up is something called a wedding “personal attendant.” Say hello to being a bride’s bitch with none of the fun of being a bridesmaid. Then thank God for the internet because I went down the rabbit hole of interior designer vs decorator. The comment section
Snarky in the Suburbs #93: Top Down
Get ready for a Dear Snarky Grab Bag. In this pod I’m sharing a couple of letters that will make you shake your head while muttering WTH. Then I’ve got a “True Life Tale” of how I was threatened by a septuagenarian gang and I’m not exaggerating when I tell you things got intense. To give you time to recover from that I switch gears to a new dating trend called “goblintimacy.” It’s hysterical and I
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #92: Double Wedding
Who wants a double wedding? Not the woman who wrote me this Dear Snarky letter and I don’t blame her for wanting to take a hard pass. Next up I’ve got a rant about my response to the question of what’s the best advice I’ve ever received. Let’s just say my answer wasn’t well received. The observation is about “prom maxxing” and it explains so much about current wedding culture. The Snarky Confessio
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #91: Tracked
This rarely happens but I have a Dear Snarky letter that has left me totally confused. I not only don’t have an answer for this letter but it made me do one of my least favorite things – self-reflection. My Peeves are people who refuse to accept that it’s okay to be old and tan maxxing. Stop the madness! Then in my Observation I get mad when someone tells me I’m old. But rest assured I have my rea
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #90: Giddy Up!
Giddy up, I’ve got a Dear Snarky letter round up that’s delish. Most especially, an update on the weird doctor letter from last week.

Then I move on to Friendship Red Flags and the Snarky Confession is all about when you’re finally honest in your marriage. If you want more Snarky goodness run don’t walk
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #89: The Big Lie

One involves a fellow plane passenger who needed an etiquette lesson in disembarking. Next up we’re going to discuss being alone and not lonely and I’ve got some advice for the “dump your bucket” friend. I finish up w
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #88: Bestie Breakup
We’re starting out with a Dear Snarky letter about a friendship breakup. Ouch, that always hurts but is the letter writer as innocent as she sounds? In not so breaking news, I have another rant about weddings. Sorry but it needed to be done. The Snarky Confessional has been busy with a true-life story of me being thwarted by summer water fun – yet again. If you want more Snarky goodness run don’t

Yippee, I’ve got two good stories for you. The first one is a true-life story (not mine) about a cheating spouse, a best friend turned mistress and some serious baby shower revenge. The second one is the Snarky Confession about a summer reading list. Yes, I know it sounds like a snoozer but trust me it’s not. I also go off on youth sports and have a moment of reflection about something that bring
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #86: Pool Float Trauma
Well, we have a doozy of a Dear Snarky letter to kick off the pod with. You know it’s going to be good when the signature on the letter is “I’ve seen evil.” My rant is what some people would call champagne problems, but I call it this vacay kind of sucks. In the Observation department more about the Met Gala and the challenges of heeding the call of nature in a ginormous dress. The Snarky Confessi

Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #82: Love Bombed
Is there an epidemic of love bombing grifters? I think the answer is yes because the letters just keep on coming. This podcast the Peeve and Observations have been combined into a Peevservation. Y’all it’s one woman’s tale of spending a Saturday shopping. Let’s just say retail was not kind to me. The Snarky Confession is all about when I kind of, sort of, very briefly did what I’m going to call th
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #81: My Brain is Busy
Enjoy this trip inside my brain where I dump out some stuff that’s been rattling around in there. Before that hot mess starts, we have two Dear Snarky updates that I love so much.

Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #80: Biblical
Do I complain too much? The answer to that is never or at least that’s what I’m hoping with this podcast. We open with a Dear Snarky letter from a mom who is freaking out over the man her daughter just got engaged to and she’s got every right to be freaking.

Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #69: The Sleep Divorce

In the Peeve department I examine why more and more women are very happily choosing to staysingle. That’s not my peeve. My peeve is why is society surprised by this. My observations are a little odd. I go off on “hair training” and power washers. And in the Sna
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #41: "Money Bags"
I’m back from vacation and I’ve got to stories to tell. The DearSnarky letter is about a woman who wants to leave her fortune to charity and a big old goose egg to her heirs. In the Peeve arena it’s me. I’m the peeve. I’ve got a really messy Observation and in the Snarky Confessional it’s all about waterparks.

Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #40: "Beached Whale"
Yippee it’s Snarky time! I’ve got a Dear Snarky letter from awoman who was pressured to get on a dating site by her daughter and now her daughter doesn’t like the outcome. In the Peeve department I go off on people blaming “participation trophies” for all of the world’s problems. Sigh. Next up I share my observations on Fall Fashions. Spoiler alert – I’m not impressed. Finally, in the Snarky Confe
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #39: Road Trip
We’re starting off with two mini Dear Snarkies that ponder the questions of why am I thirty and sleeping in a bunk bed and who let the dog out? In the Peeve it’s a two-fer that focuses on “comment phonies” and the “good old day” bandwagon. The observation is a little random but a tad juicy and it’s about HGTV. The Snarky Confession is a wild ride in a 1990 GMC Conversion van. So, you know it’s goi
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #38: "Press the Reset Button"
Buckle up because this is a rollicking podcast. I’m starting out with three mini Dear Snarkies and we have so much to discuss. So much!

And just OMG with the Snarky Confession - you may dislike me after you hear it but I’m going to take my chances
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #37 "I Protest"
I’m starting off the pod with three mini–Dear Snarkies. Onefeatures a deathbed confession. OMG. Then I zoom off to my Peeves. I’m sharing three phrases you should never, as in never ever, say. My Observation deals with a new micro trend in the bridal industry – no bridesmaids. Is it because no one wants to go broke being one? Finally, we’re all going to do a little bitof time traveling with the Sn
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #36: "You've Been Paused"
Welcome back my love bugs! This podcast is packed with deep thoughts. The Dear Snarky letter asks the question when is okay to put your mom on “pause?” In the Peeve y’all I’m over “forced fun.” When do you age out of it? Like shouldn’t it happen sooner than later? The observation is what gets the better outcome: honey vs vinegar? I’m in favor of the combo platter. In the Snarky Confessional brace
Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #35: "I Have Issues"
OMG it’s almost an entire episode about my “issues.” Thankfully, there’s three mini-Dear Snarky letters that are not about me. We’ve got problems with friend break-ups, dumpsters and siblings in a wedding. Things start to go off the rails in the Peeve where my daughter shares a hard truth about me and in the Observation department I think I’m cursed with making things weird. The Snarky Confession

Yippee it’s Snarky Time! This podcast is coming in piping hot with a Dear Snarky letter about a boyfriend wanting to “test” his girlfriend’s relationship suitability with, wait for it, a camping trip.

Snarky in the Suburbs Episode #32: Isn't it Romantic???
Oh, my goodness, I'm clutching my pearls because the Dear Snarky letter asks the question should a 61-year-old-woman settle for a man that’s not exactly gifted in the romance department? In the peeve department I'm tired of people telling me what to do? Just stop – okay?Next up, I have an observation about how luxury handbag dupes are better than ever. This brings me joy as a label hater.
