Well, 4% custody means she had the kid for 14.6 days out of the year. Or roughly 1.2 days per month. Which begs the question of what they were doing in that 1.2 days to spend $8,000?

The fascinator is coming back!

Heh. I think they only make plain - it's all I've been able to find anyway. Which is kinda too bad, but it's SO GOOD.

Dear Jezebel,

I want Janelle Monae to have a collection. Because I fucking LOVE her look. And I feel that if I bought something from her collection I'd be marginally cool. (I wouldn't, but humor me).

This. I posted on an earlier comment criticizing her for focusing on "unimportant" details that I actually love the comment about everything being "stripped" from you because it's an apt description of that feeling of utter helplessness; of having no agency over even the smallest, most basic details; and, ultimately,…

I have never been pregnant but I want to smack every person who is like " birth is natural , your body knows what to do" Like really my body thinks I need to die if I come in contact with shrimp so I'm not trusting it with all my health decisions. Also my mom and I would both be dead if she trusted her body to "do…

You are lucky, I swear I have PTSD from the hospital stay rather than the actual birth. My nurses were horrid and pain relief? Ha, after being cut open I got one dose of codeine and that was it.

I had a somewhat traumatic birth experience and I was really impressed with how my midwives handled it. Every day on their rounds, they came to visit me (even though they didn't have to—I'd switched over to OB care because of my c-section) and invited me to talk about the experience and ask any questions I might have…

Thank you for telling your story.

I love your usage of 'shenanigans'! I too had childbirth-related shenanigans and a newborn in NICU (fortunately just five days for jaundice), and looking back I'm sure I also had PPD, possibly in part to due to aforementioned shenanigans. I later had an email conversation with my childbirth instructor in which I…

While we are wishing for a therapist, and i totally agree on that, let's also wish for a lactation nurse consult, and post natal check ups that focus on mom's mental and physical health as well as that of the baby.

I embrace you all, and I am happy that your birthings didn't kill you. Preeclampsia with HELLP, everyone! Woohoo!

I totally, totally agree. Thanks for putting it so well!

Might answer some of your questions:

Isn't there a scene where he'll be tied to a chair? That'll help him get his father's attention at least.

I was hot when I was younger. I married the love of my life who wasn't a good looking guy because I found the good looking dudes untrusting, narcissistic and players! He was a very tall, skinny, gangly younger guy with helmet head hair, lol, who was kind, loved me unconditionally. 15 years later I suffered from an…

Why did you feel that a "nerdy smile" and "sweet personality" should earn you a "beautiful girl?" Why would it not be a 1:1 ratio, where those qualities would logically attract a girl with similar sweet and nerdy qualities? It seems like that statement doesn't make sense, as your stated qualities and the qualities…

Why do you think you're owed a beautiful woman when you are yourself not beautiful?
