Was it the snoring, because it was probably the snoring.

I’m confused; I don’t know if I should be hungry or horny

“In which hip-hop has largely displaced traditional pop and rock.”

My husband and I still argue over whether MC5 was punk or metal, and nobody here will know what that means.

“She was a punk”

Avril died in 2003

I’m just so disappointed that this article didn’t begin “Avril Lavigne isn’t dead--she’s born again.” It was RIGHT THERE! 

oh good lord... not a born again... those are the worst

Sounds like smoking! I’m an avid non-smoker who spent a week in London with a friend who smoked and it was super eye-opening for me. Getting on a plane? Better find the smoking lounge right before boarding and pray the flight isn’t delayed. Get up in the morning, go outside and have a cigarette. Eat breakfast, have a…

Yes but surely you see the difference between that scenario and the one described in the article. My grandmother lived through the depression, dropped out of school for a bit to help her brothers run moonshine to support the family, had amazing adventures as a child doing this work. It was a character building…

Oh, man, I’m a little over a year after I finished breastfeeding and I only recently FINALLY feel like I’m more or less me again. Boobs aren’t too full or quite so floppy, stomach is similarly shaped to before, can work out without strange parts hurting...

Forget the college fund, it’s going towards therapy for that oral fixation.

I know what you mean. I’ve had my garden variety body issues as a woman living in America, but after my son was born, I really felt like I didn’t recognize myself. It felt like I no longer had ownership over my own body, and I had just started to feel like I did in the few years before I got pregnant. I went from…

Christmas Kitties indeed.

My grandmother was 8 years old when she a refugee during WW2. She recalls living in a bombed out train station with about a dozen other people, all women and children, no adult men. Her mother was pregnant when they fled and gave birth in the station. Everyone was starving and my great-grandmother could not produce…

At least TWO films she does some weird breastfeeding scenes... Hmmmm.....

My wife also felt the sad, especially after our 2nd and last, but she knew it was best for them both and endured it.

The idea of being “too much of a mom” is really interesting to me. I think it shows itself in so many ways, the judgment against extended breastfeeding, the judgment against homeschooling, the idea that being wrapped up in your child makes you some sort of weirdo. It’s the other end of the coin from the judgment…

“He would even unclip my nursing bra for me and say, ‘Thank you, mommy,’ afterward.”

I feel that anticipatory horror entirely. We have a friend whose son nursed until like...3, I think, and she had to wean him because she wanted to get pregnant again. In contrast, both of my kids kind of weaned themselves around 14-16 months, and it honestly made me a little sad, because I lost not only that special…
