This is one of the reasons that I told my barely 16 year-old baby-sitter who's boyfriend is almost 18, that if she ever needed anything, she could come to me. I would buy her condoms, or drive her to the nearest Planned Parenthood in a town 20 minutes away, and we'd just tell her mom she was baby-sitting. No judgement…

Hearted because this is awesome!

My husband and I only lived together for a month before getting married, but we got engaged in college, and I can't remember more than a week or two that I stayed at my uncle's to watch my cousin while they were on vacation, that we didn't spend at least 2-3 nights(usually every)together in one of our singles(dorm) or…

When I was pregnant with both of my children, an OB did the early transvag ultrasound, but a tech did the later abdominal ones.

My 8 year-old son just asked me the other day of our local high school had any male cheerleaders. I'll have to keep this in mind if he decides to go out for the squad later.

My son's list involved hand sanitizer, ziploc bags, kleenex, paper towels, wet wipes, plus all the usual stuff like pencils and markers. When he was in Kindergarten, they requested 24 glue sticks! Who needs 24 glue sticks in 9 months. I think it was to cover for all the low-income kids who came with little to no…

But, what about the chocolate Lucky Charms I found a couple years ago? Best cereal EVER!

For some reason I don't like chocolate fudge. I love maple fudge, but, chocolate fudge is just meh. There's something about eating Count Chocula, or Chocolate Lucky Charms(I can't find these anymore) that makes me feel like a kid.

Try pairing it with a tart fruit like raspberries, then it's not bitter, just sweet without overpowering the berry.

Not when it's Godiva dark chocolate that is drizzled over raspberries in a dark chocolate dessert cup.

My dad's colon cancer was missed at a routine colonoscopy, so he didn't have another one until he started having symptoms almost 4 years later. By then it had spread to his bones and lung. You shouldn't forgive that doctor, EVER! I know I won't forgive this one, and I tell everyone I know to never go to him for…

My biggest stumbling block is limited funds, and so few in my area take the state plan. I also have private insurance through work, but therapy requires a $50 copay. I just can't afford that, and my area is very religious, and I'm also afraid that with my very public job, my career could be in jeopardy if it gets out…

I need to find a therapist, but in the rural area I live, you have now just scared me. I think I have mild ADHD, I'm pretty sure I'm depressed(although I'm not sure if its clinical or post-partum) and I think I have PTSD from my horrible experience with my first pregnancy and delivery that didn't rear its ugly head…

Someone who has left their small children with a teenage baby-sitter, and needs to be reachable if the sitter needs her.

If it weren't for the fact that we adore the rest of hubby's family, we probably would stop seeing her. The irony is that if it wasn't for me early in our marriage, Neither of my husbands parents would have ever seen the kids. Now I realize how crazy she is. I should've listened to him. My family was just so stinking…

Get a new cell phone and don't give them your new phone number, block them on Facebook, and send all their emails directly to your Spam folder. It's worked for me for 3 years now. BTW BIL and SIL are sane and know how to reach us in an emergency.

I really feel for you. My MIL is just as bad if not worse. She's an evangelical Christian who never had to share her kids with their dad's side of the family at holidays. My hubby is an atheist, and I am an agnostic who is very close to the edge of being an atheist. He was an atheist before I even met him, but she…

Yeah, Malformed hands, feet, and spine should have been caught in a routine anatomy scan sono. I had to go in for a 2nd anatomy scan with my daughter because she kept hiding one of her feet and they couldn't get a clear picture.

I live in rural Illinois. I have to drive at least an hour and a half to get to a bigger mall that might have Sephora.

I don't have Sephora by me. I have a small Bergner's and I think they only have Clinique.
