Thought I should add that I meant at times I don't like my daughter. I generally do. But other people's kids? Nope, can't usually stand them. Ah gene bias...

I meant more like logical in what sense. Logical in the way that separates us from all other life on this planet? Because most of them exist solely to procreate and extend a species, even beyond their own ability to survive. I certainly don't want that existence, but saying self-preservation or self-gratification is…

It took me the first three years of parenthood, but I finally realized that for me at least the way to be a parent and live a happy and fulfilling life was to ignore everything that told me my child should be my source of happiness. Newsflash people: You should be theirs, not the other way around (at least when they…

I've found that most of my positive thoughts on it get said to my child and my partner, because frankly they are the only ones who don't find them sappy or exaggerated.

Versus the logical ones?

I can't speak for your friends, but if someone told me they don't want kids I would say the same thing, but not because having kids is some inherently bad idea. It's just that if someone can articulate that they don't want them of course they shouldn't have them. If you said, "We don't want to go skydiving" I would…

I would change it to "I've never watched porn." Not everyone continues it, including all men

My girl crush is getting really out of hand with her

Thank you for bringing that up. My partner and I had our own home from age 20 to 24, but now that we are expecting our second child and wanted to live in a much nicer state/school system we decided to get a house WITH my mom (she had been living in the state in an apartment in the interim) so that we could all live in…

Is romantic attraction linked directly to who you would want to raise your children?

I have been so bummed out about Harley's outfit. I never thought I could care so much, but apparently I do :(

You did not just remind me of that movie. You did not. Lalalalalalalalalalala. Going to go cry in my own corner now.

"I love you anyway". It's all we can really hope for :)

Mine didn't break until my first time with my current partner, and that was an ongoing process the first month of us going at it. I thought I was the only one so thanks for the TMI!

I'm sorry you had to go through that scare and so happy you got a good result on the testing! We also have had scares this pregnancy (with first child there was nothing of the sort, so we were very off-guard) that resulted in negative (aka good) findings with chromosomal testing. It was very odd having "the talk"…

Abso-freaking-lutely. I am near the end of unplanned pregnancy number two (both b.c. fails— we are going with vasectomy this time; oy). I considered abortion both times. If I hadn't had that option I would have truly, truly resented being a mother, and there is no way that resentment would not have trickled down to my…

Her body type is sooooo similar to mine and the way she carries herself makes me feel so great about it. I'm so terrified I'm going to open a magazine one day and the headline will be "Amy Schumer talks about how she finally toned up"...

I hadn't heard of the series. Thanks for the info :)

I scrolled the whole list going, "Where is Vivi? Why isn't Vivi on this list? How can people not love Vivi?" And then I reached the end and got kind of teary, to be honest.

Okay, I do have something to add. A PERFECT true story for this sort of thing would be basing a movie on the book "The Black Count" about the lives of Alexander Dumas, his father, and his grandfather. That book is an amazing tale and deals very much with the aristocratic lifestyle and black skin :)
