Fuck. This cinches it; I am never having children. People watching for you to mess up at every turn, usually concerning things that won't even affect the child. This plus the "mommy wars" ... Nopenopenope. We will have dogs and money instead, thanks.

I'm not sure I'd be sacrificing quality of life of my children any less than if I'd had kids out of wedlock working a part time job and going to school in my early 20s. Even if I had had a husband or partner to share the responsibility, working essentially two jobs and worrying constantly about money would not a…

This sounds like it would be a great solution to some problems we are having, but I am not very savvy. Any good online resources on how to set up a system like that? I wouldn't even know what to Google.

I'm a feminist and my marriage is a total 50/50 partnership. I even cook. Maybe you ought to look beyond the MRA/Fox News definition of the term?

THANK YOU. What I hate is when people who fat - shame are the same ones who talk about how we all should just eat the regular cheese/whole milk/full sugar soda/nonlowfat dressing because that is what they do and it's obviously ok because they've been sitting at 115 since high school and don't you know it's the…
