Thank you :)

My mom will be 70 in two weeks and is in the very early stages of dementia. Reading stuff like this terrifies me about what’s to come.

That truly just made me so sad. Shireen deserved better.

Follow up: was outside in 87 degree weather, scooping ash into the compost bin, for eight minutes and my hair is wet and my bra is soaked in boob sweat. This is my gross, sweaty, life.

I’ve used Batiste, which has worked fine, but my hair will literally be soaked after a short three mile run in decent weather. I’m just one of those people that has to wash their hair almost daily. So it goes.

Seriously. I sweat just walking out of the house and no amount of dry shampoo is going to make my hair look decent.

And when is Gilly going to become the first woman maester? A maestress(??).

I’m going to repost what Palmieri said every time someone posts something pro-Trump. I could maybe understand a person’s support for Trump if he had anything resembling a plan but he has yet to come up with something beyond “Build a wall”Motherfucker’s been reading too much into GoT.

I’ve seen some but not enough. I just feel they should be taking over, like the others.

I mentioned this in another thread but I’m pissed off I’m not seeing more “Pray for Orlando” memes and it’s not because I think prayer does anything. Yes, call to prayer when it’s something that could happen to you, a straight concert goer or a straight person walking down the street or the straight parent of a child…

Anytime I see or read about a ten plus pound baby, I envy the parents a little. Yeah pushing out that size kid would be tough but the female body is resilient, it’ll heal. The advantage to having a big baby is they can hold more milk, so they sleep longer. I would have gladly had an episiotomy in exchange for the…

Yes to all this except the flaking because of a sick kid. I’m pretty sure a sick kid is good reason for missing out on lunch with a friend. Any friend who thinks a Cobb salad and catching up with a friend is more important than a child who can’t fend for themselves is kind of a jerk. Also, don’t call a babysitter for…

Why does Beyonce keep referring to herself as a “country” girl? Houston is the fourth largest city in the country. Even when Beyonce was growing up, it was a far cry from “country.” Not all of Texas is backasswards country!

Yes, someone just linked to that explanation. I scrolled through as many comments as I could before posting but all the ones I read dealt with the author using the word sex instead of rape.

Thank you. I must have missed that one in the sea of comments about the use of sex over rape.

Omg fucking tights! My almost four year old did not want to put tights on for ballet class one morning and we were already running late so I was like, fine, let’s go. Her leotard had a long skirt thing so her legs were sort of covered. When I picked her up, she kept going on and on about how Miss Bitchface Dance…

I don’t understand how the mother’s involvement is considered “irrelevant.” This is not the last time she’ll allow her daughter to be abused, trust.

Yup! A friend once said to make a list of everything I wouldn’t do and then see how fast everything got crossed out. I now pass that along to other new parents.

I think the two of the biggest mistakes parents of newborns make are giving a shit what people think and thinking they are failing if they aren’t doing things the way everyone else does them. I’ve heard many “I would never do...” in regards to how I let my two year old use a pacifier or how we each co-sleep with a…

I sleep with our almost four year old and my husband sleeps with our two year old. I typically get up in the middle of the night and move to our bedroom; sometimes the oldest wakes up, sometimes she doesn’t. It works for us and I think parents need to remember that: do whatever works for you. Not every family is the…
