This is your mother speaking and honey, it’s just not attractive on you. Any of you.

I never got why Al was the butt of so many jokes. I was like this guy seems delightful and handy. But I also thought Zachary Ty what’shisname was cuter than JTT, so my friends told me my opinion was null and void.
Having a dad that was similar to his character at the time, I looked at him as a role model. Should have been looking up to Al Borland instead, but toxic masculinity was the thing in the 90s.
The only mentions of sadness the book are miniscule, while it tries really hard to happily sell the idea of choice... when the subject isn’t a happy one at all. Women that make the decision to have an abortion are never really happy about it.
She continues to be the least sleazy person involved in that whole debacle.
I disagree. Abortion is only a complex topic if you believe something about it that makes it complex. I personally view a 6-week abortion the same way I’d view, say, an appendix removal or other minor surgery; the fetus is a clot of blood and cells no bigger than my fingernail, and since any pregnancy can go wrong at…
I really relate to the part about having no/shitty family support. That’s hard. No one tells you how much parenthood dredges up the old wounds from childhood. I had a decent (although arms length) relationship with my mom until my babies came. Then I saw how sweet and helpless they were and realized how much abuse I’d…
My wife had hyperemesis gravidarum through both of her pregnancies. Had to cart around a pump that stuck into her stomach every day save for those days when the injection site was infected. Even with the antiemetics, she’d vomit 4 - 5 times a day. Lost 15 pounds first five months of the 2nd pregnancy. Every two weeks,…
Being transparent about feeling lonely and isolated isn’t the exclusive province of the not-privileged.
Honestly, I can’t believe how callous some of the comments above are. Pregnancy IS fucking hard, even a healthy pregnancy, for nearly everyone. I was nauseous all day, every day, for the first three months...it was like having a bad hangover all the time. Nothing makes you feel happy when you feel like you’re going to…
Yup, my first thought was “Yeah, not easy at all when your stepmother famously breeds like it’s an Olympic sport.”
I can just HEAR that exaggerated, faux-Spanish accent: “YOU JUST NEED TO DO MORE YOGA!”
I nearly puked myself to death during two pregnancies. Hyperemesis gravidarum is no trivial matter. My mother did…
The idea that people with privilege aren’t allowed to ever talk honestly about the things they struggle with is absurd and toxic. Being human is hard for EVERYONE. The only way to get through this life is to have a little empathy for your fellow humans.
Yes, she has access to resources that many other expecting parents don’t, but some of those expecting parents are also worried they’re the only ones struggling.
No one should have to reveal personal information about themselves, but there are a lot of people who have platforms who do in the hopes that they can make…
I definitely feel the part where she tells people who say “just wait until the baby comes, you won’t get any sleep then!” to shut up. 100% agreed. That is completely unhelpful to say to a pregnant woman in her first trimester who is dealing with a kind of exhaustion she has never felt before. Or insomnia. Or later in…
I don’t think nepotism prepares you for pregengancy.
Honestly I want to snark or talk shit about people whose parents have both got wikipedia pages (wiki kids?) but pregnancy is the most extreme thing a body can go through and the difficulty of it should really be appreciated more.
It just dawned on me that Hilaria is her stepmom. Excuse me, madrastra.
Miss Ukraine’s costume was so badass. Can’t believe you didn’t include it.
Greece is close though.
You could have shown Ukraine’s angel outfit, also stroopwafel lady is the clear winner.
I could go for a stroopwafel right now.
