Yes, I went back to work after 3 months with my first, and I pumped. I’m lucky that I work from home. I could turn on the TV, pump for 10-15 minutes, put the milk in my fridge, and wash the pump parts. She never had any problem taking the bottle from the sitter and nursing from me. Looking back on it now, I probably…

Older kids are worse, at least for me. I let me daughter start sleeping in my bed when she was 3, which was when her father and I divorced. She pretty much stayed in the nest of pillows I built to separate her from me when she was little. She’s 8 now and she still asks occasionally to sleep with me. I usually only let…

I was also weird about 100% breast with my firstborn. I had a really bad UTI right after she was born and I ended up dehydrated. We had to supplement with formula for a few weeks. I had a total meltdown about two weeks in when she wanted the bottle instead of nursing. I got a lactation consultant and it worked out…

My mother has a bidet in her master bathroom. It's not heated, and that water is COLD, even in Southern California. I tried it once and that was it.

If someone wants to use their money on things they enjoy, and they know that means getting out of debt,

My mother had really heavy bleeding and frequent periods. She’d bleed through a tampon and a pad at night. She was finally diagnosed with fribroids and she had a hysterectomy a while back, maybe 10 years ago?

My 8 year old will still misspell a word on her homework when IT’S RIGHT THERE ON THE DAMN PAGE! Use your references, young lady.

Both my mother and stepmother have given me shit for making Kraft mac n cheese from the box instead of buying the microwaveable kind. I can take 12 minutes to boil water and cook noodles.

Also recommending ebags. I found a rolling leather laptop bag that I love but I thankfully haven't had to use too much anymore.

I waited until I was 28 and I met (the now Ex) Mr. Doo. I think at that point I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about. He was the right first for me, because he didn’t pressure me at all and he went at my pace. I had my first orgasm with him (NOT through penetration, and not the first few months we were…

I want to spend a month or so in Australia and New Zealand when I retire. 21 years to go!

I saw the trailer for this sequel and it was awful. It wasn’t funny and I have no desire to see this movie. I didn’t think the first movie was funny either. But I didn’t think the first Ghostbusters trailer was funny, and I’m still planning on seeing it when it opens.

My son was diagnosed with acid reflux at around two months old. He slept in a rock n play until around six months, and then I had his crib inclined from six months until a few weeks ago. He will turn 2 next month. Some people warn about children developing a flat spot on the back of their heads from the rock n play,…

C’mon Kara, you missed the low hanging fruit. Susan Sarandon is Berning Up.

I was surprised there was enough light for him to read by. All of the venues I’ve been to (which admittedly is not many in the past decade) have been too dark to read anything.

From what other people said, the Formation video is not officially available, which is why I couldn’t find it right after the SuperBowl aired.

Thank you, I watched it last night after the kids went to bed, along with the SuperBowl performance. I thought the SuperBowl performance was amazing. I had restricted content on the YouTube app to prevent my daughter from watching anything inappropriate, so I had to turn the restrictions off.

Mother of a daughter here. I’ve never been on Tinder because it’s mostly for hookups and that’s not my thing. I got plenty of messages on OKC from guys half my age looking for hookups, which is eventually what led to me deleting my profile. I kept pictures of my daughter off of my profile because I didn’t want to…

There is a dating website for people with herpes. I think it is called positive singles?

Help an Old out. I tried Googling Beyonce’s Formation video after the SuperBowl, which I didn’t watch, and all I found were videos talking about it, or showing the lyrics, but not the actual video. Has the official video been released or should I just look for the SuperBowl performance on YouTube?
