YES PLEASE. I love pho, bahn mi sandwiches, guac, everything and just...every time I say no cilantro it is ignored. And then I spend half an hour picking it out because I can taste a tiny leaf in a bite if I chew it. If I just swallow it without chewing like soup broth, it is lessened but never gone. To me it tastes…

Oh hey are you me? Literally starving my kid because I wasn’t making ANY and he was just crying every hour until I finally broke and was like ok we try the sample ready made formula and then he was cool cause turns out being hungry is bad! And then I felt like shit and cried every day and pumped every 2 hours to…

Just as an aside, you START feeding “solids” (purees mostly) at 6 months. No baby is “eating solid foods” by then and yes they are still getting all their nutrition from a bottle or breast typically for year. It starts winding down towards the end months but doesn’t even start til 6 months.

Yeah thank you, I am both disabled AND my son is off the charts in height. He’s also prone to just running off down the street because he’s a toddler and excitable, and I am physically unable to run after him. He goes straight from the car to the cart with me. If that wasn’t an option, then I can no longer shop at…

Dunno who you asked in MA but where I am, you can just buy this in stores, and have been able to for as long as I can remember.

We always got rolls when we got Chinese takeout from our place (Polynesian fusion) but it’s since gone out of business. Didn’t realize it was a weird thing until now.

I went into the hospital before it went into place and so was off my parents insurance. Guess how much I wracked up in ONE DAY? Over 100k. Now tell me again how I am better off paying that off on a credit card.

Waiting for the hammer to hit home when they realize that every single person seeking IVF now will be considered a murderer. Or that they’ll have to implant every single egg regardless of viability... 

One of the very few fortunate things to come from having a baby in the pandemic (not having people touch me while pregnant was excellent, as was working from home for basically ever) was the fact that my husband was out of work until just recently so for the first 7 months of our baby’s life he’s been home to also…

I’m so glad I am not the only person who thinks he’s a jerk. I have never met him, have no reason to think this, just... I have an intense dislike of the man, like he kicked my puppy or something. And I have no idea why.

Currently living in a New England house with horsehair walls. Not haunted though, but even if it was, it’s a family home so I’d know all of them anyway. Planning on ripping the worst of them down and hanging new sheetrock so I can finally get rid of hideous wallpaper in the last bedroom.

Necco wafers. A true New England terror, I still remember people somehow getting these and absolutely ruining my Halloween haul with them.

Having played and beat the game... honestly I think the warning is appropriate? Also, lots of spoilers ahead-

I had a former coworker go on vacation five separate times during quarantine. Each time, she’d post pictures eating in restaurants, going to places with no mask mandates, basically living the same as before. She got covid (mild, no hospital) and still can’t taste or smell. I’m having a hard time finding sympathy for…

Literally living for these wrap ups. I’m 8 months pregnant and petty bachelor drama and this article series are the only things keeping me going right now.

Same. And especially after 2 rounds of IVF after which I was supposed to what, keep those multiple fertilized but abnormal eggs to...do what with, exactly?

Can confirm. I knew I was going to marry my husband when he (visiting as my boyfriend) read a birthday card to my cat. My cat is an old grump and doesn’t love anyone but me but he likes the husband well enough. The husband actually has to move the cat gently off the bed when he goes to bed because the cat sleeps with…

They haven’t seen actual boobs either because having played it, the sliders are...just wrong. And at the highest levels they’re just mounds attached to the collarbone. None of it works.

Does this make me guilty of manslaughter in Alabama since the 5 day old fertilized egg that was implanted in me and DESPERATELY wanted never implanted. Fuck you Alabama. Fuck you so much.

I feel for your sister. I’m in the same boat but supposedly my insurance pays for the PGD. Except I’ve been fighting them for months to reimburse me for it. Fun times. It ALL sucks.
