I'm mystified by people who are just BAFFLED that we primates get excited about our offspring and/or want to procreate. It's cool if they don't want the same things, but come on, we're talking about a fucking biological impulse here. Of course we think our babies are awesome and interesting. It's how our particular…

This is an excellent point about any and all pictures. I rarely post more than three photos or so of one particular place in time, and that's if it's really noteworthy to me (say, a large family gathering). I don't understand 500 pictures of the same fucking people over and over.

*screams* I totally have one friend like that. She's a big fan of run-on sentences that can only be read in monotone when I read them aloud, and invariably there is at least one post every other day about potty training and the travails therein. SHUT UP, LADY. I have a nearly 6-month-old baby, and I've never once even…

I did that! I just wanted people to know how much my son appreciated their gifts (well, and me too). From what I heard, it made people feel good, but I guess someone else likely got their knickers in a knot.

Yes, thank you. I post pictures for the same reason. And when I fail to post, I get a half dozen messages from my mother's various friends, complaining that I never post pictures anymore (if like two weeks have gone by). Scroll on by, bitches, just like I scroll on by your 1000000th picture of a margarita in a…

Yeah, I was gonna say, "Sure, they're exactly the same, except for how one tastes considerably more delicious than the other."

Yeah. I had a bunch of ultrasounds because they were convinced my baby was going to be fat because I'm fat and have PCOS. Never mind that I was taking my meds every day, my blood sugar numbers were fine, and I passed the GD tests THREE TIMES. I still had GD just 'cause, which meant five zillion ultrasounds to make…

A vaginal birth ALONE costs about 10k, depending on where you live. A c-section is 30k. My prenatal visits to the midwifery clinic (over a dozen for me) were like $400+ each. Then add to that cost tests for things like gestational diabetes and group B strep (and the whole STD/HIV panel) and wowww. Oh, and I forgot…

Quite.

Yeah. I've seen this Gabby Douglas hair thing all over the place...and every time I see a picture of her and the supposed bad hair, I can't see a thing wrong with it, not even when I try to nitpick. Wtf.

Yeah, whether or not they are exceptions (personally I do not think they're exceptional as they need to be), those midwives are not accountable for shit. Most states don't have any licensing for them, so there's nothing to be revoked, and they can't be sued because they carry no insurance.

My parents called it "birthday cereal". Every kid in the family, on the eve of his or her birthday, go to go to the grocery store with dad and pick out a box of whatever chocolate-frosted sugarbombs we desired, then eat them for breakfast on the big day. We pretty much never got anything but plain Cheerios or corn…

SNORT.

You entertained me! Though I can't picture the Greybeards tutoring you in that particular thu'um. Who knows - maybe those dudes are freaky-deaky under the big dark robes.

And how many users have gender-neutral pictures/names and are women? Probably a whole fuckton.

OMG I wish I knew how to make mods now. :( Best stress relief ever. I FUS RO DAHed the FUCK out of that smarmy Thalmor dude at the College of Winterhold and it felt sooo good. There are quite a lot of smarmy fucks I'd like to shout down in pixel form...

Except for, you know, grandmothers and grandfathers and maybe aunties and uncles and godfathers/mothers. Shit, when I stopped posting as frequently about my son, I got private messages about the lack of baby-related posts/pictures. Just scroll on by.

I like the incredibly classy "Final Destination" joke about one of the Aurora massacre's victims.

I don't really think breastfeeding is nasty ever, although I admit that I would be a little squicked at anyone over the age of three nursing in public. However, I do appreciate your point that there are lots of ways to have physical affection with your kid that isn't breastfeeding.
