I am so so sorry. There is no trauma like hair trauma.

Since I left TN, I've stopped following our wingnuts. However, she is consistently just a delight. And I mean that in the most sarcastic way possible.

Currently sliding from plus size to straight sized after slooooowlllyyy losing the baby weight and the shopping is also a bitch. Plus size 12s are too big in the back and waist, and I am still feeling uncomfortable in my straight sized pre-baby clothes. I have a bought a ton of shit from onestopplus.com because I'm…

We've been working on yes maam no ma'am and please and thank you with juuuuuust turned two TTB. First off, it never hurts to be polite. Second, it is adorable inhis gorgeous little voice. Third, he's really grasping thank you when he feels gratitude- no prompting. the sir and ma'am are taking a bit of reminding, but…

Navy or navy and white spectator pumps. I have a real issue with matching or coordinating my suit, shoes, and purse, though. For my husband, I bought a deep chocolate brown pair for his navy suits. It looks great. Better than a medium brown but not so irritating to the eye as the black navy combo.

Every time I get on a plane, I know that, at the least, my MIL and SILs are judging me. I leave my husband with TTB, and go sleep in a hotel room for 3 days, and they think its awful. NM that my position resulted in that house where y'all come vacation a few minutes from the beach, right? I busted my ass to get this…

So, I've been drinking. If this was humor and I missed the joke, forgive me. But what the fuck?

Based on recent trends, it won't be replaced by a good show. It will be replaced by a shit-storm reality show about rich men looking for a good looking wife. It will suck on all levels, employ far less people, and perpetuate the same stereotypes we all try buck regularly.

This is a wonderful point. When they laugh at your joke or aside, they must see themselves in you, and it takes the enjoyment of your femininity away and replaces it with a flawed, normal human. You have power over their perception.

Fair enough. I'm probably especially sensitive due to the amount of time I spend in airports and hotels while MrBuckeye and ToddlerTarheelBuckeye hang out together. I'm still not 100% secure that I'm not scarring either of them deeply.

Wait...why are dads bad, moms good? I read your comment 2x and I'm still confused why you were banned from dad-managed homes?

It's an ongoing fight, right? I buy from onestopplus for some of my clothes, but no one does one season tees like Old Navy.

I met an ex in an elevator. He was a surgical resident, I was a sales rep, and we started talking. Then he found me on FB and we dated for 5 or 6 months. Then he went back to China for a funeral, and I met MrBuckeye, so when he came back, I cut him loose. Looking back, that was kind of a dick move.

Not to mention, there are ATMs everywhere but finding the exact mix of items in my bag would require multiple stores. When I need to put my face on I don't have that kind of time. I rarely touch up-one of those pricy benefits is how well they wear-so I stopped carrying anything except a powder brush and lip balm.

My bad, I missed your comment about lack of space. Is there room for those little 3 drawer stackers? They aren't the most stylish option but you could lay it out by functionality and at least protect your stuff. I hate pulling out a personal item with hairspray or powder buildup.

MrBuckeye saw me facing a similar dilemma and set up a vanity, complete with lighted reversible mirror and a fan to keep cool while getting ready. The space he used is where a normal woman would hang dresses in our closet, but since I own very few and they hang out in our guest closets, it would have been wasted…

I watched it because I despise the reality shit that is shoveled at women and I wanted to support Whitney CumminGs. And I admit- I saw pieces of myself in Whitney- change is hard, family screws you up, crudeness, farting, and burping are ok, not all women are begging for a white picket fence, etc. Almost every episode…

Thank you- it's terrifying right? They bill it as freedom, but it's ultimately about relinquishing any control over your life. It always seemed a bit lazy and simple-minded to me.

The Fuck? Not saying anything about your family, as I don't know them, but As a very liberal, very bad, inclusionist Christian, I've paid a lot of attention to this idea of giving up your agency, and I have reaches a conclusion that many women are brainwashed into thinking that its easier not to carry responsibility…

It's a huge cultural issue. We start sexualizing kids relationships when they are toddlers and just beginning to express affection. I have shut that shit down so many times with ToddlerTarheelBuckeye. If he hugs or kisses a little girl, some dumbass on either side of our family or friends will make a joke about him…
