I only drink it when pregnant because I try to cut my caffeine intake way down.

Yeupppppppppppppp. I picked my ring out, but ran the styles by my husband for his approval. “Yup, looks good. In the budget? Huzzah.” I’m really picky about my jewelry and if left to his own devices I’m sure he would have picked out something really nice and fitting since he knows me well, but since this is a piece of…

Seriously. My ring was a little over 4K which was pretty middle of the road for our social circle at the time. That’s not even a down payment on a car.

I’ve seen some anti k-cup posts, because they’re terrible for the environment, but didn’t think there was nearly as much ire for the Nespresso pods since they’re made of aluminum and Nespresso has a nice recycling program going.

I’m not doubting there’s some advertising stuff going on in the background, but I remember…

I feel bad enough as a SAHM of one (with another on the way) who moves a lot. So we don’t have a ton of friends in the new town and as soon as we do make them we’re usually slated to move again for my husband’s job.

My 2 year old seems fine so far, but he probably doesn’t get all the social interaction he would if we…

Congrats, your special award is in the mail.

I love how the “I could never do that” is glossed over as some kind of technicality thing, like “OH no, you totally could, with the right books and courses and class sharing community.”

No lady, I think you’re missing the point. Most moms I know (me included!) could not just be like “Welp time to spend literally every…

You know what the biggest bullshit is?

“Oh you’re so lucky you’re pregnant - no periods!”

First off, I had intermittent bleeding with my son throughout the pregnancy. So far nothing with #2, but knock on wood. Second off, after the FUN that is labor and birth, I then bled for 8 fucking weeks straight. So...considering…

Having one on one income isn’t THAT hard (depending on the job and housing markets where you live, obviously.)

We’re working on #2 on one income right now, with the possibility of #3 in the future, after which we’re definitely closing up shop because we don’t want anymore...but we don’t scrimp or save and we do just…

My favorite is when they stare you down while you wipe, carefully considering the differences between mommies and daddies. NOT CREEPY AT ALL.

After a bit it’s not such a huge deal, but when my son started trying to reach over to help me wipe I was like “NOPE, GOT IT THX”

Yes. My son wasn’t too bad about it when he was a baby, as long as he was in a safe area (behind a baby gate, in a pack n play) I could leave him to do my business without much fuss, even after he was mobile.

But now that he’s 2 he gets upset if you don’t let him in to join you, so we just let him because whatever…

Similar. Babymused is 2, and will be 2.5 when Babydeux is finished baking...and that was as close as we were willing to cut it. As is I had JUST FINALLY lost all the baby weight from #1...the month I got knocked up again. Sigh. There’s no way I wanted to have another baby before at least losing the weight from my son…

Mine will be 2.5 years apart if all goes well with the one currently baking, and I literally finally lost all the remaining baby weight the month I got knocked up again. It took me that long to fully get back to “myself” just to start things over again. I can’t imagine having babies super close in age...I know it…

My nightmare is twins or higher multiples. I had my son, and love him to bits, and he was an EASY ASS BABY..but I cannot imagine taking care of more than one baby, at the same age, at the same time.

I just got knocked up with #2 and we were holding our breath as my OB said “One healthy baby...let me just double check…

I never spent any appreciable time away from my son until he was nearly 2 years old, since we live so far away from family. But as luck would have it my MIL was flying in for a week right when one of our buddies was getting married out of state, so she offered to watch him so we could go.

So my husband and I hosted…

Seriously. I love how everyone was jumping on this as proof the bride was a bitch.

Sounds like this fucko was probably going to (and still might) do exactly that.

Also “You can go ahead and smoke just don’t make it obvious to grandma” is totally fucking reasonable as well. My dude of honor and some of his friends smoked…

Like I said. Good luck, fucko. Enjoy eating all dat crow in October.

And maybe after October, you’ll realize what a huge pain in the ass it is to drag your kid to someone else’s house between feeding/napping/bedtime schedules (so you can actually talk to your friends for five whole seconds between the 24/7 care of a child.) Maybe you’ll realize that staying home for BBQ is wayyyyyy the…

Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis.

Same with pregnancy. Everyone’s always like “OMG FUCKING PREGNANT BITCHES NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT BEING PREGNANT PUT A CORK IN IT” but as soon as you announce a pregnancy, suddenly that’s all anyone else ever asks you about. And the questions can get…

And that’s perfectly fine, as long as you aren’t a total judgey McDickface to Nap Nazis...which going by the super clever nickname you gave them...yeah probably not.

I’m a proud nap nazi. Some kids and parents thrive on structure, some thrive on spontaneity. Whatever the hell makes your family the least crazy is what…
