I thought they were owned by brothers, but not the same company.

It smells like buttered popcorn, yogurt, or slightly spoiled milk. But nothing like adult poop. Once they start eating solids, that’s when it starts to stink.

Of course I use a wet bag. Anything else is disgusting. Also, excrement should technically go in the toilet. Read the box of diapers, it says as much

Or even earlier. My sister-in-law weaned both her sons at 3 months because it was just too hard to pump at work for her. I’m lucky to have an office and a good response to the pump, but I’m counting down the 4.5 months I have left till my little one turns one year.

You should see my first pump in the morning. I’m not nearly as fortunate with any subsequent pumps, but damn, I can get a lot of watery, slightly blue tinged, milk at 6AM.

37 years ago, while pregnant with me, my mother legally changed her last name so that she could convince her school system that she’d gotten married and keep her job. It breaks my heart to think that women might be forced to do that again.

You should come work for my company, we aren’t religious but we take Good Friday off because it’s well placed between new year’s and memorial day. (I’m an environmental engineer too.)

I want an option to get rid of any multi-level marketing scheme. No, I don’t want to buy any Jamberry, Pampered Chef, or anything else that requires you to have a downline to make money.

This exactly. It seems to have gotten exponentially worse in the last week for me. Every other item in my newsfeed is a stranger.

I don’t know if my plan is grandfathered or what, but I’m still paying for my pills. It was $50 when I first started using them earlier this year (I’ve been either pregnant or trying to get pregnant since the ACA went into effect.) I complained to my doctor and they just handed me a few months of samples. I complained…

We always do it in Vegas. Twenty dollars folded between the credit card and drivers license. Usually a room upgrade but once they comped the resort fee.

I came to say the same thing! I love it, but my husband has a very long torso so the Ergo doesn’t work as well on him.

I didn’t get an IUD but I’m definitely still having painful intercourse seven months post-partum. It’s probably a combination of hormonal imbalance (breastfeeding and the pill) and scar tissue on my perineum that are making it difficult. I had some granulation tissue removed at three months post-partum (ow, ow, ow)…

Jolie, we have a front loader that has an Express cycle for washing. The cycle only lasts about 25 minutes, in comparison to the hour-long normal cycle. It seems to get the work done but I can’t convince my husband to use it. What do you think?

We took out a 401k loan too, but it was to bump up our down payment and avoid PMI all together. We bought a little higher than we’d originally planned but we got a brand new house and we paid off the 401k loan within a year. And it has appreciated over 30% in four years. Worth the hassle and the price.

I would have liked to burn my placenta or beat it like a pinata. The stupid thing wouldn’t detach and my doctor left claw marks on my stomach from trying to wrench it out in chunks. Then my uterus took forever to firm up and I was stuck in labor and delivery for hours. I bled SO much they had to change my gown and the…

Always makes a version too and they were awesome post partum. And I still had to add a pad but I could get through a night without soaking everything.

I had a roommate that was a stripper and it was great. She never brought guys home and worked nights so we never fought for bathroom time in the morning.

I use that exact “awry” example all the time! I was also in college before I figured out how to pronounce “banal”.

I tried to tip the grocery bagger that helped me load up my car when I had my newborn with me but he refused the money. I don’t think they are allowed to accept tips.
