So, the title of this post was “Here We Go Again, Seasons Two and Three of Serial Have Premiere Dates.”

okay but like.

“This fall” and “next spring” are not “premiere dates.”

I sort of hope they start with the same Mail Chimp commercial. It really became part of the experience to me.

I’m an Aleve girl. Headache? Aleve. Cramps? Aleve. Joint pain? Aleve.

But why can’t the same friends and family who paid for the trip pay for the baby then? It doesn’t add up either way. I wouldn’t leave a nasty comment for them but come on...it is 100 shades of ridiculous.

So they are used to taking no responsibility and having others fund their lifestyle.

If he seems like a dipshit, that money is not going to the baby, I’m sorry to say.

You say it like they were taking a weekend drive to a B&B. If you can vacation in Japan when you live in Canada, I’m going to say no to your “we can’t afford to raise a baby” fundraiser. The two things make no effing sense. Japan isn’t a cheap destination and it’s not like some Caribbean cruise or weekend in Jamaica…

I...huh? How so? From my perspective pregnant women get a lot of adoration. My friend said random people smiled at her all the time when she was PG. Someone I know just got a couple hundred likes plus about 100 congratulatory comments for announcing her pregnancy (none of which she thanked or liked). She’s gone on to…

Wouldn’t it be more beneficial for the newborn to have self-sufficient parents? This sets a tough precedent, when people don’t have to work for money it makes it even harder for them to work for it when the gifts run out.

Maybe I’m just menopausally bitchy here, but I’m so freaking tired of this trend of holding out your hand and expecting strangers to fund you for everything. It used to be that people would feel shame at asking strangers for a hand-out. Now everyone is setting up funding sites and whining for charity. Hmm, yes this…

Some of the responses were sanctimonious but I still think they’re way bigger assholes for thinking they could ask people on the internet for money to help raise their oops baby. I believe that she didn’t know she was pregnant (though I believe *didn’t know* includes the very likely scenario that she was in some deep…

WHAT??? That is so distinctly unCanadian. I’d have expected an apology from the airline, the baby, and the nation. Sorry, America. I jumped to conclusions.

My cat wakes me up with the sounds of her profound existential anxiety.

I hope they notified their Alberta Works caseworker to let them know they were leaving the country for a vacation.

I’m thinking of starting a GoFundMe to pay off my student loan. Oh, and if you guys could also chip in towards my rent, that would be great. I also really need a vacation. Thanks!

If you don’t fully understand how crowdsourcing works, I doubt child rearing is going to go well.

This is an anecdote, just an anecdote it does not mean to judge anyone:
I absolutely adore my mom. She’s my best friend, my light, my example. She went back to work 3 months after I was born. We lived in a developing country in a rural area and she was the only mom I knew that worked. Being honest, I did feel bad…
