There's a lot of social pressure, and I would never hear the end of it from my mother-in-law if we decided not to have them. I'm only 27 and only about a year into my career, so maybe in a few years, I'll feel a little more settled and ready to have a baby. Right now, I feel like I finally finished building this Jenga…

I also think that children need to see parents who know *HOW* to be happy, and that means selfcare and agency. They need to see moms who can take time for themselves.

I felt so sorry for her boobs

"DAT ASS"

Look up the Etsy seller EidelPrecious. Her stuff is GORGEOUS.

Exactly! And I can't fathom how people argue that some hypothetical happiness/regret outweighs actual lived happiness. I might regret not having a child someday, but I'm going to Tibet this year and I'll for sure have one of the most amazing experiences of my life—and I am able to take trips like that because I am…

I'd rather take the off-change that I'll regret not having them down the road ...than regret ever having them and be in an irreparable situation.

That's a really important point. I don't want children and neither does my husband, but I know that I'd love a child I made with him more than I can possibly understand. There's no one in the world I'd rather have children with than him. But I don't want children. It's a nuanced thing, for sure, despite how it's…

Well, the other thing no one says is that just because you regret not having children doesn't mean you should have had children. I am ambivalent about having children and people who (for some reason) want me to have them always threaten me with "regret." I'm always asked, "What if you regret not having them?" The…

If you ever need a replacement there are some SUPER gorgeous peachy pink/champagne sapphires out there. I have a sapphire, which is hard, but for the reasons you listed I don't really wear it in the house at all.

This was a great comment! But also, I have the compulsive need to tell you that I reread the first two paragraphs and, in my head, replaced the words "diamonds," "jewelry," and "stones" with the word "boners." Then I giggled for a really long time.

THIS LOOKS LIKE PART OF A ROBOT. I approve.

Oh how I love this comment. Enough to ask it to marry me, if marriage wasn't totally a patriarchical and heteronormative fascist institution that oppresses womyn.

Jane Austin's novels primarily concern plucky young women having to choose between dashing alt-country singers and earnest Java developers all the while set in the glamorous backdrop of a three hour line-up for BBQ.

Hawke hit the nail on the head when he articulated the sadness that other people couldn't make Williams happy - even though he made the people around him happy. This has been bothering me but I didn't know how to express it.

Is the fuss about vaginal orgasm + mangasm? Because really, clit orgasm + mangasm is kind of fairly manageable, isn't it? Vagigasm + mangasm at the same time, as someone mentioned, is cute but totally not necessary imo. Although once I've had my o, I'm kind of done mentally (where dafuk is that second o?? I've never,…

I keep on hearing people talk about wanting a Pam and Eric spinoff. Yeah, that'd be great, but I need more Lafayette. WHERE THE HELL WAS HE IN THE FINALE?

Kristin Bauer van Straten is queen! Her name alone seems like one of a queen, right?
