We've always used the proper terms with our kiddo (I'm a biologist, I'm not going to call it a wee-wee or a hoo-haa or whatever). She was then told by other kids she was saying "bad words." Her teacher started to tell her not to say those and she proudly said "My mommy says those are the right words and not to use

The first rule of Pie Club is you do not talk about Pie Club. The second rule of Pie Club is we tend to be good on fruit, so maybe consider bringing a nice coconut cream or Pecan next time.

I have enough income to support two people. What I don't have is the ability to relate to a man who doesn't feel a drive, a passion, a determination. I married a man who attracted me because he's intelligent, organized and focused. The same characteristics that I find attractive about him have made him successful

I am successful and career-oriented, and I do have the income to support myself. I even had enough to buy out my ex's share of the house 4 years ago when we divorced, to make the mortgage payments on my own for the last 4 years, and to have a second child via sperm donor this year (and make the child care payments

Well I mean we'd have to find a way to scrounge up the money, first. But eventually we'd find enough pop cans to turn in for deposit to get the $100 or so together. He just better not commit any felonies.

No one's going to rush to pay my bail if I ever get arrested.

Also, though, even if I won the lottery, I'd want to be with someone who was engaged with life. That doesn't have to mean a demanding career, but it does mean something other than shuffling through life playing Xbox. And I find this unattractive in women, too. There are moms at my kids' school whose days consist of

Totally agreed, and thank you for adding another layer of experience onto my thoughts. I'm in my late 20s and single and am still at the foundational stages of trying to build an adult partnership—all of that vast unknown of actually living a life as a wife and a mother seems like it will be SO MUCH HARDER if I'm

I will never date a guy who doesn't have a job, yet is able to have one. For example, if he's a student or he's somehow too ill to hold a job, those are exceptions. But if he doesn't have a job and doesn't plan to, I won't date him. For whatever reason people think I'm superficial for saying that and I'm not sure why.

I do have the kind of money to support two people on and have no interest in adding a baby, and I still don't want to date an unemployed layabout. The emphasis here is on layabout, though. I am comfortable dating low-earning or unemployed men, but I think it's reasonable to expect them to cultivate some domestic and

I'm the same. I'm a really independent person from a low middle class family (my parents said i would have to be because they can't help me) and i moved out right after graduating high school, worked constantly, paid my own way through undergrad and grad school and work hard at my career. I don't give a shit if a guy

THANK you. I'm not looking to be taken care of, but just once I'd like to not have to pick up the entire check. Just once.

Agreed. Wanting to marry an investment banker isn't the same thing as wanting to marry someone who pulls their own goddamned weight. Yes, I'm successful and career-oriented, but I don't have the kind of income by myself on which one could support two people and a baby. Which means my partner needs to work. Not work so

I LOVE IT. Has this one been posted yet? :D

SHERRY BROWN DRESS

Nobody puts Baby on the floor.

I think her friends are genuine, but I don't think I would like it either. I am mortified by anyone pitying me. I would feel so bad that people were feeling sorry for me.

I don't care about cultural appropriation one way or another, but baby hairs? Jesus, I'm white as they come and I have baby hairs.

I was with her for the "Who the hell is Ariana Grande" thing. But hating on Frozen?

I've started to notice the people that say "Don't tell me how to raise my kids!" are the exact people that need to be told how to raise their kids.
