Agreed. I’m from upstate but currently live in Brooklyn, and I’ve never heard “melk” in any part of NY.

Goop, honey, it’s okay. You don’t have to put out a fake user name. We know it’s you and you’re still pretty. Don’t try to overtake NPH, it’s okay.

You know, I take serious issue with the fact we are calling this idiotic. The jokes he wrote weren’t funny, and they were definitely antisemitic and weirdly misogynistic for literally no reason. It didn’t even improve the stupid, shitty jokes. Had he been, say, a Republican staffer who was making inappropriate…

Thank you so much for telling me what you thought of it, I might keep going just to get to the music scene of it all WHICH is kind of why I picked it up in the first place.

Thank you, I also hope it goes away in second trimester.

baby stuff is so fucking ugly!! i’ve made great pains to get less-ugly products, but then people love to give us their old ugly crap. “baby so and so loved this!” that’s nice, i don’t like it and my little guy won’t know what he’s missing. he enjoys Scandinavian and mid-century modern products.

It’s cool, you can join our group. We’re the World’s Okayest Moms- and we’ve got the mugs to prove it. (sorry that the picture is giant and fuzzy) Here’s your welcome bouquet.

I was totally an accident. My mom was in the process of divorcing from an unhappy marriage when she was pregnant with me—I mean, she fled while pregnant with me. My biodad wouldn’t acknowledge that I was his child. I think she even thought about terminating the pregnancy.

Seriously. We got some matronly-ass people up in this comment section. No one is saying you MUST buy someone a wedding gift. But, if you're going to a wedding and can afford to do so, you should probably give people a gift. Weddings are a cultural gift-giving holiday, in this culture and many others. Hell, I'd much…

I, too, imitated an egg.

Without reading ANY comments (yet)...

An easy child is NO practice for a difficult one.

Well, the expectation that the person who stays home also does the majority of the chores is fair, but I'd like to point out that staying at home with kids (when they are really little anyway) is exhausting and sometimes isolating. So the expectation that you come home to a spotless house and a hot homecooked dinner…

Yup. I work for several families as a nanny/babysitter, and in every last one, no matter how great and involved dad is, whenever there's an issue it's mom's schedule or job that takes a hit. If I'm sick or having car troubles and can't make it? Dad goes about his business and mom has to scramble to find a replacement…

At one point, she asked if he would consider quitting his job to be a stay-at-home father given how much he wanted a baby. "That just wasn't the plan he had in mind," she said.

i have to say, as a non American I find it really odd that the "she chose to get pregnant" bit gets thrown around so much in a country that fails to provide safe, affordable access to abortion or birth control.

If you really believe that women should plan their pregnancies around work projects, you should rethink your priorities. That's just wrong.

I hear that that must have been a frustrating experience for you, but it sounds very much like not the pregnant woman's fault - it's the fault of a company that thought in that situation they should give one guy two full time jobs instead of hiring a competent replacement during the maternity leave that it sounds like…

In Massachusetts, we spend a long time on our history too. But that's because we basically invented America. *flips hair*

Why are the most common concerns being voiced here that she won't get to see her grandkids?

Christ here comes the guilt again of not even WANTING to have kids in general and having that choice be the end of the world for my mother. She won't see grandkids cause I'm not going to HAVE them. I'd like to think people…
