We are pregnancy twins! Newest born almost two weeks ago.

And if you look up listeria outbreaks in the US it’s always shit like spinach. Am I going to not eat the whole time? No.

I kept eating most of these things- maybe my poorly healing c section wound is what happens. Sushi/caffeine/ham, whateva. Please don’t make me hear the words “open and pack” about a long-ass incision ever again.

Thank you, dress up! Exactly how I was feeling but couldn’t pin down.

We did that with our Disney trip, kind of. Lots of anticipation for the big trip vs. presents that year.

I ask for tickets to events, or activities we can do together. Zoo/museum yearly passes. Whatever.

I have a tiny tiny house, and my mother buys my daughter crap constantly. I’m talking 5$ multi-piece sets of junk. It KILLS me. I texted her the other day that my daughter would rather go out to hot chocolate with her or something, and to return the latest purchase. It didn’t go over well.

That’s a great rule, I am going to try to remember it. This is the my daughters last year as an only child, so we went a little nuts-o. Baby due 12/20. Next year is going to be waaaaaaaaaaay different.

I totally agree.

Our kids love the same shit. Roar plays in my nightmares now.

YES, watching Kristen Bell do it made me cry, I didn’t know she did the kid voice and the adult voice.

I actually stopped having panic attacks daily without meds, so I am ok with her.

We are in the same boat of delusion. I had siblings, one is mentally ill and I can’t even, and the other is too busy doing their own thing...but God forbid I leave my daughter alone! #2 a month away. Sigh.

A reason to go to Disneyland.

I’m due with my second in about a month, and my 5 year old seemed so excited... Deep down I knew. But this article and comment really made me feel it. Fucked.

A career in health care teaches me that bad things happen to the NICEST people,. Sometimes it feels like it is ONLY the nicest people. Ugh.

I was really into my therapist, helped a lot with anxiety—-I liked when she got more... witch-doctor-y and would tell me to be open to what the universe was allowing to happen for me. My last session she recommended The Secret and I was like :|

Your last line is how I feel about my mom forever and ever. I want to just cut her off but can’t. Or can I? Can I do that if she never beat me or did anything other than hurt my feelings and be self centered?? /random mom issues on a Jez article.

depends on your child’s weight.

Amen fellow Oregonian. But aren’t you legally obligated to own a Subaru as a resident of our fair state? /Sarcasm from Portland Subaru owner.
