I mentioned above that I really have a strong distaste for anyone who pressures another to have or parent a child. Children deserve parents who are fully invested in the idea of parenting. The idea that someone who is even ambivalent about having kids should just do so is not setting up that person for parenthood and…

And even those of us that do want that experience want to have many, many fewer children so we can have quality relationships with them and provide a better life. 

I fucking hate people who pressure others who don’t want children or are ambivalent about them to procreate. It’s really shitty for children to grow up in homes where their parents are at best conflicted about their existence. Kids deserve to grow up in families where they are desperately wanted and loved. People who…

I feel like I’m a goddamn parent right now and I will wear whatever is comfortable and doesn’t look like crap. Normally leggings, a long top and hooded sweatshirt or a cardigan. Jeans of any sort is putting in effort. My body is different from these young folks as I have birthed a child and I’m about to birth another…

What’s interesting is that there are two parts to conservatorship. One is over your person, your personal decisions and the other is over your finances. So, it’s very likely that Britney is prone to having people take financial advantage of her, but wouldn’t it get to a point where you would want her to have rights…

I listened to a This American Life podcast called “Bad Baby” that has haunted me to this day. The oldest son he was eight I think? Was attempting to kill his younger brother constantly and had done some abusive things to his baby sister. The mom had no help. He was a clear danger to his younger siblings, himself and…

I would say that as a society we are in general very biased in the other direction. Mothers don’t abuse their children! Mothers have a natural ability to parent because they are women! When you accuse a mother of abuse you are accusing her of failing as a woman which makes it even more difficult for people to see the…

It’s possible that her husband set her financially up with some sort of fashion line. That would be the most likely bet. 

Is it extreme though? With everything we know about Kellyanne Conway, this seems totally in line with everything we have seen from her. I know mothers who came across as the long suffering type with their daughters but really behind closed doors were monsters with daughters who they were jealous of and hated for not…

That house is just begging for a redo with a Mexican or Southwest lodge feel, am I right? White walls, rustic wood and leather furniture, indigenous artwork, Mexican tile. You know where I’m going with this.

Oh, you aren’t familiar with California property tax laws are you? If she bought it for $190,000 it’s likely she’s still paying property taxes on that home price. There might have been some nominal increases if she expanded but not much. California property tax law is dumb. 

My pediatrician/family doctor who is awesome and at least has humor and practical parenting advice had a baby right before my child hit his four month sleep regression and went on maternity leave. I was told to sleep when the baby sleeps by the replacement doctor who also IN THE SAME CHECKUP told me that I should be…

But people are suuuuuper desperate for sleep with an infant and basically all medical professionals are entirely unhelpful in conquering this. I can only hope that the research showing the extremely strong correlation between lack of parental sleep and post partum depression/psychosis aids in more research on infant…

It’s because women like to hover over the toilet and then won’t clean a public toilet after. Put your ass on the seat or clean that shit you dainty Debbie!

You are lucky. I have clogged a toilet a time or two or 50. BUT, I’m not embarrassed at all to ask for a plunger. 

You know that there’s really been no research done on breastfeeding right? No one really knows what they’re doing in regard to breastfeeding. The best research comes from the dairy industry. They’re not even really sure how breastfeeding works because there has been very little medical research on it.

My favorite is when I called out a doctor who in the same check up told me to “sleep when the baby sleeps” and “excercise when the baby sleeps.” I was like, which is it and when am I supposed to bathe?”

I used a nipple shield because my kid had issues initially finding my nipple. The lactation consultant said if I didn’t stop using them by a certain time, he would never latch without them. That was a lie. Also, hospital grade pumps are bullshit torture devices. 

It seems like both she and her mother have already had brushes with the law that lead to arrests which is saying something for reasonably attractive women of financial means. You’ve got to REALLY piss a cop off for that.

God just by looking at the man in his pic I would have pegged him for at least ten years older. But I guess he’s a year younger than my husband? Gosh being a miserable asshole ages you.
