I had an IUD and understand the benefits of it, especially for long term b.c. for young people, but the insertion of it is not a little thing and I wouldn't have handled it well myself at that age. I also got scar tissue after it was removed and didn't know that until they tried to put another in and I had a very…

My god I am old today. I like the song, I don't mind the band, but I kept thinking over and over throughout the video "Look at that mess! Why are they destroying perfectly good clocks? Who is going to clean all that up? So unnecessary" and blahdy-blah-blah on and on.

I admit this is the first time I have ever actually seen a clip of DWTS. I always assumed they would all be terrible? That clip was really cool though. Might have to delve into new obsession...

We recently moved to what I consider a comfortably upper middle class town in Massachusetts. I am in mid-20s with a 4 year old and 4 month old, and virtually all of my daughter's classmates have parents in their 40s to 50s. I don't know how some of them are doing the preschool years along with their professional 50…

This makes me so so happy. Thanks for sharing. :)

It's something about the label itself, I think, which sometimes I think is just a generational connotation issue. Like to them saying someone "has" something is akin to a death sentence, like it will be on a form that keeps them from getting jobs etc. whereas to me it's just a description of the way my daughter's body…

I think that's great they got themselves tested. A lot of my family lived in areas of their state that had very poor education opportunities and ended up getting into more trouble than good due to their behavior. My mom made it to college and even she, at 51, still bounces around all the time and can't get through a…

As someone with a daughter with SEVERE food allergies and a recent ADHD diagnosis (who also, side note, is three grade levels ahead of her age in math and reading—brag brag) I get so frustrated with people having the attitude you're describing. My own family says frequently that "It's over diagnosed", "Most kids don't…

jezebel.com and scary mommy. com have helped me get through so many rough mom days

I'm in favor of any parenting technique that allows me a few minutes of freedom from the kids. I'm just going to post this now without any clarifying remarks, gonna do it, gonna do it.

Indeed. hopefully someone will challenge him again and this can be rectified. Also, how do we know for sure that water was going down his buttcrack with this darn static camera angle? I'm just saying...

My only issue is there is no zooming going on.

I've watched this four times today because, well, Chris Pratt, good actor, charity, somethingsomethingsomething. *teenage girl sigh*

I only found out about the Colin Farrell one because he was being teased about it on the Graham Norton show. That was a happy day :)

Sometimes I think it's our version of putting people in stocks and throwing tomatoes at them, which does not imply anything particularly ethical about it, but sometimes the only way to build myself up seems to be to laugh at another, and I prefer to do it to someone volunteering their idiocy up than some poor schlup…

Sorry if this is repeating a comment. I pressed something and it disappeared so I'm not sure if it's there or not. Anyway, I completely respect your comment and agree with a lot of it. In fact when I wrote "Um" it was with condescension and some snotitude, mainly because I felt the person I was replying to was being…

In real world practice I am usually against "mommy" or parent shaming, but I admit at the end of some rough preschooler and newborn days it is such a relief to kick back and watch a show like this to judge these crazy folks and think, "Hey, I guess I'm not doing too bad." Shaking my head at self. Sigh.

I can see not liking it, but seems a silly thing to ban someone over. People say it for emphasis, rudeness, etc. on purpose as well as a placeholder. I admit it's a bit valley-girlish, but people type the word "like" in that way too.

Nope, I don't need to. I thought you might explain more, but of course you neither have to nor do I need you to. Have a good day :)

I am dealing with a major crush ever since we saw the "Guardians" movie the first time (twice now, definitely going back for a third) and the "Hooked on a Feeling" sequence in particular ;)
