I have heard some terrifying stories about attachment disorders. Before we decided to start the application process I went online and read a lot of foster/adoption forums. I wanted to know what the worst case scenarios looked like. I plan on waiting til my kids are high school aged, which is what my husband's family…

My SIL just came from a bday party for a five year old that featured actresses hired to play to role of Disney princesses and probably cost more than my wedding.

six months before I decided to have a baby I swore I never would. I'm about 30 weeks pregnant with my second, and I've never had "baby fever", either. I'd never held a newborn before my son was born, and usually declined offers to hold someone's baby.

cheers! I'm jealous, I wish I had time/money for therapy. My insurance only covers with a diagnosis, and I "just" have family issues I need to hash out.

Yes! I'm 31 and about to have my second child. I have no idea what I'm going to wear when I finally get out of maternity fashion hell. I don't work in an office, I chase toddlers all day.

Reading this seriously warmed my heart.

I had to read this twice to make sense of the microwave being mentioned.

that's kind of what I was thinking- wasn't digging the ring out of her poop the plan all along?

I am terrified of snakes. I am a grown woman and I realize that it's a completely stupid thing to be afraid of. I live in Western Oregon, and we don't even have poisonous snakes here, but snakes of all kinds terrify me equally. I don't care if it's a garden snake or a rattlesnake. I scream like a child every time I…

I have never been to one of those places, but my ex-coworker told me that being a bikini barista means you get steam burns in awful places. Like side boob steam burns that make wearing a bra hurt, so you are kinda stuck wearing a bikini top.

we have bikini coffee stands in my city, and they are tiny little carts. I'm trying to imagine how you can feature pole-dancing in a drive thru coffee shop?

This is an excellent point to bring up. Thank you.

I un-friended someone for posting some ignorant crap about not feeling sorry for poor people (he was referring to families, specifically) who can't make ends meet because he's been really poor his whole life and doesn't find it difficult at all.

I already got to recommend this product once last night, but get yourself some menstrual cramp bark cream. It's expensive, but it lasts forever and it's good for cramps or muscle aches. A temporary fix, but it works when you need relief.

I used to live in an apartment building where all the units were on the ground floor and faced into the courtyard. My husband and I used to just sit on our couch and stare out the window, watching our neighbors and discussing them.

My husband bought me an incubator for Mother's Day and I'm incubating my first batch of quail eggs. I've spent a lot of time reading about incubation and I've followed all the directions, but I'm still kinda freaked out that I've done something wrong and my eggs aren't going to hatch.

have you tried cramp bark cream? It's amazing for cramps. Like menthol magic. On amazon

Slow blink is the best! I've raised feral kittens for a couple years and it works really well with even the most messed up kitties.

I've only felt that way about one man, ever in my life. I was very striking in my younger days and attracted plenty of attention from men, but there was just this ONE guy who was different.

I've heard, but have no experience with using a bottled pheromone spray for cats to help them calm down. I had it recommended to me when I was raising a feral kitten.
