First, is just really normal, so as long as you can keep it low key and keep checking in with him, you’re doing the right thing. My mother in law told me her daughter would just ask for a diaper when she needed to poop for awhile. It helped her transition, and she was still listening to cues. There are probably lots…

Mini Pie is asleep before 8. It’s a 4th of July miracle! Big high fives to the new playground, sprinklers, toy drum set, and every other thing she wore herself out on today. Also she’s been refusing to nap on non-daycare days which is very trying sometimes but worked out tonight. Huzzah! Now to enjoy some evening…

Not to be a total bummer on a holiday, but I need some divorce advice. Ladies (and gents) who have been through this, any words of wisdom would be helpful. How do you go about asking your significant other for a divorce? My husband is a very nice guy and he is never intentionally cruel or mean. He is immensely popular…

I used to turn away when the kid I nanny was practicing pooping. Either that or close the door over without latching it and stand just outside. Reading to him while he was on the toilet helped too. I think eventually his parents resorted to bribery.

I love Wentworth! I'm on season 4. I liked season 3, but agree that some of the characters are a lot. I can't binge the show the way I do oitnb. There isn't much comic relief. But it's such a solid show!

I’m not a mom but an aunt that helped potty train my 3 year old nephew (he’s 3.5 now and fully trained) and I made him a little bathroom by putting the training potty in the stairwell between the first floor and basement and a bed sheet spread across for privacy. I was very casual about and would say things like,…

My family had a cookout at the lake. It was nice. I swam with my cousins. It was the first holiday after my aunt’s death. It will get easier. My mom was talking to a friend and she said the first holidays are hard.

RIP Anonymous Iraqi children, women, men. I’m sorry we, as bystanders, are not able to know your names and stories. I’m thinking of yous here in the western world. I cannot imagine living in a place where this is a real, constant fear. RIP.

Hi! So I’m relatively new to Jez and mostly a lurker (kind of shy that way), but I always try to read your updates on SNS because you are working so hard for your daughter and I think you deserve all the support in the world, even if it’s just an internet stranger listening to your story.

I would still put it on sourdough but OKAY I AM CONVINCED IT NEEDS NO CHEESE.

Too bad for her. Go enjoy your weekend with your wife and ignore all calls from mom.

It has been Shark Week (as in Discovery Channel Shark Week, not Give Me Potato Chips and Chocolate Shark week), so nails this week were Espionage Cosmetics Sharks!

Monday started off with Big Foot’s friend Emily coming over. When asked if she was allowed to be here, if people knew that she was there because she was at that time on house arrest she said “grandma (mimi) said i could come and swim because it is so hot.” I called Mimi several times and did not get an answer. She…

Wednesday was warped tour day! My daughter had a blast and I injured countless teenagers who tried to crowd surf in my vicinity. Good times! Here’s my glorious offspring waiting on her favorite band, Falling in Reverse (ughhhh).

He does have a nice butt. Too bad it's attached to someone so utterly insufferable.

Normally I’d say yes to all the hot garbage but I’m thinking it might be a combo of Ryan Phillipe’s smug face and the weirdly fucked up way they portray Selma Blair’s character that makes me pass on this particular garbagy mess.

As a gay man, I see a lot of queens shaving their pubes as well. I think one should be able to do with their bodies as they please but I don't mind a Harry Bush.

Oh, man. I HATE when people say shit like, “Oh, you dressed up today, you look nice.” Like, they have to draw a contrast between different ways I dress or how much makeup I wear (or how your hair looks). The implication is that you what? Look like shit the rest of the time? HATE IT. Just leave it at “You look really…

It took me a looong time to appreciate my natural hair. I love it more every day, GO AMBER!!

I watch youtube videos like 3 hours a day. ON IT.
