Did anyone else used to take to their face with St. Ives Apricot Scrub, dreaming it was curing their hideous complexion when it actually made it feel like you'd rolled crushed glass and sludge all over your skin?

Having a big dick is nice, but if the only thing women compliment is your size, you probably need to go back to Fucking 101 and pick up some other skills.

They are also overlooking that it is great positioning to become the 2nd or 3rd wife of a wealthy banker. A lot of women got started that way.

As my reaction to this article was along the lines of: Dear god, what is wrong with these people...

"...and since yogurt is the number one thing ladies like"

I love this look. Cold enough that I need a sweater, not cold enough to bother with pants...

Thanks for clarifying. I thought it was the "cherry picking" that bothered you. Point taken.

Since when did Miss Havisham ever leave her house?

He should have simply hired Helena Bonham Carter to show all the dresses.

Very valid point. Where are the ads that should what happens to your liver, skin and brain from drinking too much?

The first six weeks suck wads. My sister calls newborns "maintenance wads," 'cause that's what they are. I referred to my first that way because he was such a PITA as an infant - never slept, cried all the time, hard to calm, etc. My second was better because I was calmer. (I also threatened her in utero - she had…

Exactly. And also the parents who cannot admit to being overwhelmed and frustrated because they think it makes them bad parents. Those people scare me because sometimes you need a little help. I was a single dad for a few years when my daughter was an infant and sometimes I would call my awesome next door neighbor to…

I hope you know this feeling is totally normal (well in as much as I felt the same way!) When I saw the first ultrasound I was like hmmm...well that's interesting. Let's see what it looks like in a few months when it makes its appearance. The ultrasound tech (or whatever they are called) was definitely looking for…

You're fine! I think that feeling is more common than we think because as you said, if a mom expresses anything less than super-devotion, she is labeled a "bad mom." But it's normal to have "WTF" feelings about what's happening in there. The idea that you are growing a person in your body is really trippy, you know?

It took me a while to *love* my baby. Mostly I was just very concerned with keeping her alive those first few days. I think that many moms (and dads), once they feel the overwhelming love for their babies forget there was a time they didn't feel that way.

first, congratulations. second, yes, exactly, what you said: it doesn't help that no one else *seems* to feel that way. but i PROMISE you that other women have felt that way and that they went on to adore their kids. PROM. ISE.

For women, I think there is also this additional pressure to feel something right away for their unborn child and if not, BAD MOM. At our first ultrasound, my husband cried, and I...thought it looked like a blob. Hearing the heartbeat was neat I guess, but I can barely associate those things with me. I know I'm…

what bublé said about his baby is great — i wish more moms/dads who had that experience would share it. the whole "as soon as i looked into my baby's eyes, it was the most overwhelming love i've ever felt/the whole world made sense/nothing else mattered" narrative is quaint and all, but it isn't the experience…

Shopping for gender neutral baby clothes? I hope you like ducks!
