This stuff is so important to see. My body is in okay shape after two kids, and I'm really trying to love and accept my body as it is, but it's hard. My already very large breasts are hanging down towards my belly button and I'm 28. My body feels a lot older than I feel like I am. No matter how fit I am, I have…

Is that happening right now? Because it's still light outside here... If that's going on now, I'll hop on BART in my jammies so my 6 year old can see it before bedtime. Awesome.

I'm a Troop leader for my daughter's troop of 1st and 2nd graders. It is really hard to find volunteers, which really sucks. I have 11 girls and it's super hard to get parent or community participation. I like that we're moving away from the outdoorsy stuff, because it's expensive and time consuming. This year the…

Internet high five

Yes! Exactly!

Excellent article!

I was naked when my hubs proposed! I would take a bath after work and he would sit next to me and we would talk about our days almost every night. That night he had this weird, terrified look on his face I'd never seen before. I thought he was going to break up with me because he was staring at me, totally silent,…

I just read them all. Thanks!

Addy was my favorite too <3

When I saw your picture at the top, I gasped a little and thought you were the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. The article was also fantastic :)

I just got Essie's tarte deco. It's a coral that's so spring/ summery and makes me look tan even though I'm white as a sheet right now.

I'm a SAHM, and I work my ass off. Volunteering at my older child's school several times a week, leading the local Girl Scout troop, taking care of my 2 year old, managing our household, filling a PTA position and coordinating school fundraisers to fill gaps in our school funding... I work. I just don't get a paycheck…

Let me counter that, then. I've taken Prozac with great success when I was in high school. I'm taking celexa now for PTSD. They both saved my life. When you get stuck in a depression hole that you can't pull yourself out of, talk to your doctor about medication. They will find something that can really help you get…

I'm lady number two, so raise my hand for that ad role. I'd be hella convincing.

It's a myth, but most women avoid it in the first trimester. My midwife said the chemical smell was probably the only real issue, but also because women miscarry most often in the first trimester and even though hair dye wouldn't have anything to do with it she figured it was one less thing the lady could feel she…

I'm a feminist housewife. I'd probably like working outside the home better, but my husband has a career that makes good money and I don't. My last job was as a barista, because my parents didn't raise me in a feminist home and didn't encourage me or support me in higher education. I found feminism after becoming a…

I'm white, middle class, and definitely know what kind of person becomes a cop. My dad beat me in the suburbs. The cops that came always told me to " pray about it, because if I was rebellious I deserved it" and that if they took a report and I went into foster care I would never see my brother again and would…

I wonder if there were other factors involved that lead to that " fast" behavior and would have caused poor grades anyway. Purely anecdotal, but I was a " fast girl" and that was because I was routinely sexually and physically abused by my father. I was also raised in a weird fundie home where it was not expected that…

I'm in that club :/ but add a husband that never flushes his pee to that mix. My daughter leaves poop for me, I'm still dealing with my toddler's diapers, and a grown man's pee. Too much shit in my life right now.

The same thing happened to me. He still doesn't understand that what he did was wrong.
