You know, some of us LIKE dressing uneventfully.

Ugh, I’m sorry you have to deal with that! It’s maddening, isn’t it?

As far as I know sperm or egg donors who go through agencies do not pay support, because they have legal paperwork done to specifically state that this was a transactional thing. I have heard that when some people tried to do a donation outside of an agency without paperwork they can be on the hook because at that…

Parted ways even sounds too mutual for that. He bailed after begging me to continue the pregnancy, doing whatever he could to avoid paying child support.

They took his passport and license years ago and he has to work under the table jobs. I think if they could pin him down he would be looking at jail time in CA, but he’s elusive.

I don’t mean I got sperm donated by a donor. I mean a guy that knocked me up, begged me not to abort his “child” and then bailed before she was even born. I don’t know what else to call him, since he’s not her father in any way but biologically. My husband adopted her and they look alike, so sometimes I even forget…

I would be thrilled if we could also have custody and support papers sent this way. My daughter’s sperm donor went out of his way to hide out from child support orders for years. He would refuse to sign for served papers or claim not to be himself to the process server. Basically anything he could do to get out of…

Exactly.

I recognize this. She is trying to hard to slow down her speech. Can you tell? Her body movements are jerky, which is pretty obvious, but the way she is timing her words is so telling to me. signed, former adderall/ coke addict.

I was hella addicted to Adderall in high school. I’m sad for her because I remember how gross I felt, but also I was thin and that’s all that matters of course. /s

High five for being healthy! And not depressed!

I know :( I’ve browsed those kits at the craft store since they came out. All those tiny trees and stuff? How could they take that away from me, er, my kid! ;)

I can’t imagine why on earth anyone would think that of him.

I admire that he wants to stay in a position to help his constituents, and I do think he would be in for the same racist bullshit the Obamas have had to contend with. I’m still hoping that yeah, maybe in 8 years I get to vote for him.

Anza?

But you’re not allowed to use the kits! My daughter is going into third grade and I asked a friends with a fourth grader about it. Apparently the teachers were so annoyed with the parents obviously putting the kits together that they changed it to a written report instead. Maybe I’ll make a mission on my own ;(

Plus, there’s an Ikea.

I’m from Temecula, so I know about those assholes you speak of. I had them, too, but with less natural beauty and more heat. I live in SF now and it’s the home I feel like I always belonged in. I have to go visit this Summer and my plan is to enjoy the beach in La Jolla and then fly home. As little interaction with…

I’m still holding out hope for Warren. Or Booker. Or both of them together, which is my ultimate political fantasy football team.

Mine is totally not a winner, but it still makes me laugh.
