Gotta agree. I used to hook-up with this awesome girl back in college and for awhile after we graduated, who happened to be a little bigger in size. This girl was a catch, funny, smart, caring, kind. I could go on all day about her qualities. For some reason this girl really liked me. Like the a-hole I was back then…

Thank you! The newborn stage sucks. Little Bald Job is 4 months old, am I'm finally starting to SORT OF enjoy it (although I love the fella).

Semantics. Tour vs concert dates.

I will cosign this. My almost-2-year-old is hilarious and a joy, and even when he's being difficult, it does't last more than a few minutes and he's on to the next thing. He's active and energetic so it takes energy to keep up with him but a lot of the parenting has become hands-off and so much less of that…

Thanks for this!

It doesn't have to be a snowman.

As a mother I agree. When Lil Potter was born I thought, "You're so pretty! It's amazing you're not an ugly newborn!" Now I look back at all her pictures and think "man you looked weird." She looked a lot like my bald father.

Just to add some squee to this already super squee story, perhaps they will sleep LIKE DEEEEZZ !!!!!!!! <3 <3

Do you want to build a snowman?

YAY FOR LINGUISTICS! I only took one linguistics class in college, but I was fascinated by the misconceptions that were elucidated to me about language. Pretty much everyone criticizes the language of others and feels their own use of language is superior. But what linguists will tell you is that language just is, and…

I would bet money those are stock photos. I'm sure the moms saying those things wouldn't want identifiers

Not a parent here. I do think there might be people who love their kids and hate parenthood - important distinction. Especially in the US, for women, with the mommy wars/"you're doing it wrong"/you're a bad mom if you work or stay at home/"why can't you keep your kid quiet in the restaurant?" stuff, ugh. We sure heap…

they are heartbreaking. i agree that an internet outlet isn't the same as real support but i think even anonymous venting can help relieve the pressure and desperation some of these women must feel. and it's not like mothers will be feeling very comfortable about admitting these feelings any time soon. i'm sure many…

It's a choice.. and it isn't. You can think it's going to be a wonderful, life-changing, love-filled experience, and then— you have your baby and realize you're not good at this at all. You realize you're not as generous as you thought you would be. The fun moments are very rare sprinklings amidst a seemingly…

There is nothing sexual about any of those swimsuits. They are swimsuits. On little girls.

I give a strong cosign to jada pinkett

Right on. The patriarchy hurts everyone. We can start by giving mothers and fathers in this country a proper maternity/paternity leave system so they can bond and work together as a family, establishing that everyone has a part in raising a child, not just a mother. Or, start by setting an example for our children at…

And realistically, neglectful babysitter is way more likely to happen than pedophile babysitter. And both genders can be jerks that give the kid some Benadryl and don't give a fuck.

I can flatter a girl's world by playing prince/princess or entertain a little boy by wrestling for hours.
