Speaking of disproportionate rage, I like how “Olive Garden” has its own tag, so I can reread anti-OG vitriol at the click of a button.

Actually, Jeremy has been slowly progressing through high school since the strip started with him as a 15-year-old freshman. He’s moved through being a sophomore and getting his license and is now apparently a junior.

Bill - there was a relatively recent story arc with Jeremy dealing with college admissions, so he’s perpetually 17, not 16.

But in reality, Molly, as a parent, you probably know that isn’t the way it works.

If I thought I was buying dinner for the family and it turned out, without notice, that I was buying dinner for the family and three of my son’s friends….well, I’d at least want some advance notice.

I’ll join the club in support of Connie. The one that lately has me wrinkling my brow over what seems like excessive unappreciated martyrdom is The Pajama Diaries.

Yes, Connie is a child psychologist and aspiring author. She used to work part-time, but currently seems to only work on the book (”Coping Effectively with your Teen”).

Connie is a child psychologist? When did that happen? I can’t say I ever saw her hold a job. The mom in “Edge City” is a psychologist and is truly clueless.

Olive Garden? Just send the kids and take the husband to someplace nice.

In classic comic strip clueless parent tradition, Connie is a child psychologist. This adds that extra level of hilarity to the miscommunication and complete inability to understand that her unvarying single-track approach creates.
