Tell your landlord! I am a landlord! We need to know these things to control it spreading. Contrary to popular belief landlords do not read minds :) If the bed bugs came from another apartment you may be free and clear of paying for exterminator services. Also, the sooner they treat a mild infestation the sooner it is…

My daughter is almost 4 and has wanted to be a firefighter almost since she saw her first firetruck. I shop in the boys section for firefighter toys and clothing because fuck gender lines! She’s starting soccer and swim classes this spring to improve her athletic and teamwork skills and to give her a helthy place to…

My dentist was named Dr. Pizza.

don’t take future kiddo over there unless you are given assurances that guns are secured, locked, and unloaded. If that is the price of admission for your dad to see his grandbaby then he’ll do it or not see him/her. end of story. they’ll thank you later when futurekiddo graduates high school without a bullet in…

1) I’d throat punch Carly Fiorina and her staff for using my kid to push her anti-choice, anti-woman, sexist, bullshit agenda.

Yeah it all depends on what/how they are taught. My daughter is 3 and can say her full name when asked, write and spell her first name, and knows my first when asked. But she goes to full time preschool and I reinforce education at home.
I agree, sounds like these kids weren’t receiving top notch care or education to…

OMG I have vivid memories of getting Peaches n Cream Barbie for xmas! That irridescent top! the peach chiffon! She looks like she’s ready to accompany Burt Reynolds to an awards show and I LOVE IT!

I too had to choose between returning to work and staying home. I chose to stay home because I was working in retail at the time and would have never found an affordable daycare that worked insane retail open/close hours. I would have been making as much as daycare cost. I lost my health insurance (baby still had…

My 3 year old was getting upset at her leapfrog tablet in the car the other day. I told her to try turning it off and on again. Thanks IT Crowd!

I worked at a furniture/home decor store (think Pier 1 Imports or Pottery Barn). We sold a candle that was cocoa scented and looked like a candy bar. it was wrapped in foil and the little individual squares each had a little wick. The wrapper was clearly labeled “chocolate candle” and it was very obviously wax with…

I made 3 dozen mini quiches and 3 dozen scones for a breakfast party.

or a pregnant woman. the unwanted hands on the belly is a nightmare!

Its cool. In a much much better place without him! :) Plus a got an awesome kid which is way better than a $4000 stupid dress!

mine molded over soon after I discovered my husband cheating on me. it’s in the garbage along with my dreams.

I am a property manager and there is no way in hell I’d dumpster dive in New Jersey with even the niceset, sweetest, friendliest of tenants. Sucks to be you, here’s the number for sanitation! peace!

my 3 y.o. daughter put a cheerio in her vagina. I had to pull it out. she asked to eat it and I said “No, we don’t eat things we put in our vaginas.”

Caution: my daycare provider told me of a child who saw her mom putting in a tampon and then took that as the all clear sign to start trying to shove things in her vagina. So either keep it a little private until they can understand more and follow rules or explain VERY CLEARLY that it is special just for mommies and…

its like a fashion baby bjorn?!?

They were delicious and promptly devoured by my workmates. I’m throwing a breakfast party next week so this was the dress rehersal for this particular recipe. I’l gonna spice things up next week with earl grey vanilla scones!

I made lavender honey mini scones
