Oh my fucking god, is there any way I can get my Arizonan birth reversed so my mother can re-have me in a less fucking ridiculous state???

on total accident* we found out that a really great remedy for cradle cap is butter. Here I thought I was smart for using jojoba oil or coconut oil, but no- it's butter. Works like a charm!

2 masters degrees here, 3 fulltime jobs, one business owned, and occasional freelancing between us, and the two of us and a cat manage to reside in a 600 s.f. one bedroom apartment.

If the pay from your job sucks so bad go get a job as a server!

That's because the register in her retail job does all the math for her.

Luckily, this happened almost 25 years ago, so the scars have healed and the story's morphed into what I think is a very funny tale. I was in college and with a really narcissistic dope for several years. I spent every weekend and much of the week at his apartment. One weekend he told me not to come over because he…

I'd been with my husband for eight years - we were best friends and I loved him madly. Out of nowhere, he tells me he doesn't love me anymore. "I need to think about *myself* right now." I was devastated and definitely had not seen it coming. I tried to pick his brain and get to the root of the problem, to no…

In the middle of the night I started getting text messages from a number I did not recognize. The texts were screenshots of someone else's text conversation. I recognized both names in the conversation. My husband and my best friend - who was my maid of honor. It turns out the number I didn't recognize was her soon to…

OH HELL NO. We don't have kids, but my husband makes 5x what I make. He once made an off-hand comment about me buying something mildly pricey with "his money," and I lost. my. shit. If I was raising our children and maintaining our home and he said something like that? I am having a rage stroke even thinking about it.

I read that line, and I wanted to scream, "For fuck's sake, DO NOT HAVE KIDS WITH HIM!" If he says he wants some babies soooo bad, but doesn't want them badly enough to even consider substantially changing his life to allow for them, then he doesn't want kids all that badly — much less badly enough to shoulder half…

While biking through a wealthy part of town a few years ago, I passed a Tesla Roadster parked outside of an under-construction house with a big garden, solar panels, sweet architecture, just killer. I turned around and noticed a couple sitting in the car, checking out the house-in-progress, which ended up being…

Allow me to tell you my favorite part: they live in the desert. Legit desert in a tiny village with the closest "town" (aka strip malls) being like, 20 miles away. He moved there and and begged her to come with him. He's a rocket scientist. There are NO other jobs out there that are not rocket science jobs or low…

My eyes are literally HUGE right now. It's "his money" IS IT HIS FUCKING MONEY!? Methinks he would be using HIS MONEY to pay a fucking maid and babysitter if he didn't have the free labor from his wife

He's not a nice guy. He's a "nice guy".

This is so me. I'm 32 and married, and we will be starting to try for a baby soon, and I'm still not sure if it's a good idea. I keep hearing about my cousin's wife, who is constantly hounding him for a baby to the point where it's become a family joke, and I'm like 'really?'. I only get clucky very very occasionally.…

RIGHT? This is what I told my friend who was recently upset about her husband not giving her money to buy the (admittedly expensive, but they have the money) makeup she wants. She raises the kids, full stop. He's been alone with the kids once. He always says it's his money because he's the one that works. He's an…

This topic has been on my mind all week. I'm ambivilent, but I'm terrified of 'regret' more than anything. Mostly because I know two women who got into their mid forties and completely broke down because they never got the chance to have kids.

UGH I believe this very much.

Nothing new about this. I'm 65 now and had wanted children since I was 20. I couldn't find a woman willing to have them with me until I was 44. My first was born when I was 45 and my second when I was 51. My wife got cancer and died when my youngest was 3. I didn't really expect to find a step mom for them and knew…

At one point, she asked if he would consider quitting his job to be a stay-at-home father given how much he wanted a baby. "That just wasn't the plan he had in mind," she said.
