Ghosting after 7 months? WTF. That’s something that is only acceptable if you’ve had less than 3 dates. I’m really sorry that happened to you. Also, I am betting they’ll contact you again in a month or two ( cynical me thinks after Valentine’s).

I’m sorry for your loss, too. Internet hug in sadness solidarity.

I know this will probably stay in the greys but, well, December 2016 was the worst time of my life. On December 18th my pregnant friend texted asking if my husband and I could come over to watch her daughter because something wasn’t right with the baby ( she was due in 6 weeks) and she ended up with an emergency…

My MIL got my baby a dog toy Mr. Carrot from France. She came back and gave it to me and I was paused “Wait...isn’t this a dog toy?” She replied, “Yes, but it’s so cute! I thought he would like it.” And, well he totally does. All of the babies at his daycare also love it ( I did not tell them that it is a dog toy,…

My company did a white elephant this year. I chose a gift (brown wrapped gift with a heart drawn on it) it was a box of Magnum condoms, cigarettes and gum with “Date Night Starter Kit” written on a piece of paper. I’m bummed bc one year we did secret santa and I got a flask of Jack Daniels and fireworks...

I will say after the first miscarriage ( a MMC), I immediately was like “MUST TRY AGAIN ASAP” and ended up pregnant like 2 1/2 weeks after my D & C. That one also resulted in a miscarriage. I’ve read a few places that after you get pregnant you are more fertile, for around 3 months, so we waited 2 months before trying…

I am so so sorry you went through that. Waiting to try again is so aggravating. I would highly recommend doing what I did ( planning a weekend wine trip or just a trip to drink) during the time to make it seem like you have something else to focus on. I am really sorry for your loss and for having to explain your loss…

We didn’t. And quite frankly, after my first miscarriage I found out that so many of my friends ( with kids) had them and it made me feel a lot less hopeless. I’ve got a ten month old son now (he was born 5 days before the anniversary of finding out about my miscarriage) and I feel like I appreciate everything so much…

I’m really sorry. Hugs from a fellow miscarrier. Be kind to yourself.

NO! Say it ain’t so! Look at me is fake? 

Oh man. Yeah, the whole discussion on what labor feels like is so sanitized. After my 22 hours of labor and c-section ( cord was wrapped around his neck but they didn’t know that until they pulled him out) I can say that one thing I really am annoyed with is the whole pain management section of birthing classes.

I bought two pairs of Icon panties *they are the people who do pee panties instead of period panties* just in case and they came in super handy with pregnancy so I’m sure they would be really useful after you give birth. I ended up with a C-section so I can’t comment on Tucks pads or their effectiveness. But I can…

Oh man, I just did the Stallone route..aka OVER THE TOP with the underwear. 

If the cousin, aka potential liar, is the executor...you should consider hiring your own attorney. If you hire someone to send them a letter detailing out who is in the will/trust normally most people are afraid to receive such a legal letter and will act accordingly.

I’m so so sorry. Sending you love from an internet away.

Within the first week of owning our place; after calling Roto Rooter ($$$$$$) to fix an emergency toilet/tub overflow, the guy handling the giant rooter machine wasn’t paying attention and managed to pop off the sewage cap and spray shit literally across the side of the building. The next day a guy in a Hazmat suit…

Do you already exercise? I started adding an extra 1/2-1 mile to my daily run and the biggest weight loss factor was when I stopped eating processed sugar. I substituted fruit for my normal daily baked good and suddenly started losing weight and my skin cleared up. Then I started eating donuts again and cupcakes…

I cosign this! I think it is definitely possible to have this baby and also leave if you feel like things aren’t what you want from a marriage. I will also say, I know hormones ARE insane while pregnant so there is also a chance that your feelings toward your husband are magnified into the negative extreme. I think…

I agree, I think if some asshole wants to say “Cover the baby with a light blanket, it will protect modesty but won’t affect feeding.” They should be forced to eat a month’s worth of meals under a blanket, then we can talk. 

Well, yeah, it’s definitely weird! I accept your analysis.
