Hm. I should start being crueler to mine. Maybe they’ll stop growing back so busy.

I’m that age, have meticulously tweezed since I was a teen, and mine grow very full and quickly. (My head hair, not so much.)

Thank you so much!! See and love your comments on the daily! :-)

I’m currently at FiancéPear’s “old” apartment, after spending all afternoon here, cleaning for his official move to our apartment. Must have taken out recycling 10 times. Going to pick him up from work in 2 hours, then make him watch Rosemary’s Baby (he hasn’t seen it). I’ll have a few seasonal beers, and he’ll be…

Not certain, but I think Conspiracy is a lesser charge than Murder in most jurisdictions.

I dated a dude for a time who had purchased himself a good-sized house in the middle of nowhere, basically, with a gated entrance and lots of land, just so he could feel like a King in his Castle, wander around stark naked, and urinate outdoors.

Definitely! :-)

Sorry; I was unclear. My husband did recognize the signs and also tried to persuade my doctor that I needed help. Her response: I didn’t answer the question “do you want to harm your child?” in the affirmative, so no PPD...

Just came here to add this: I had PPD and possibly psychosis. My Dr. didn’t believe me. Or my husband, also in the room. I eventually recovered, but if I’d been healthier, I’d have pushed against the clinic...

I think if I were shopping when that happened, initially I wouldn’t be able to stifle a laugh. Then I’d get my kid the heck outta there before he asked any questions.

When I was a wee mischievous pear-hater, I would eat only the marshmallows in the cereal box and leave the rest for my brother. Ditto with the flavor swirl in ice cream.

I feel like this didn’t happen to me because I had a screening process (not lengthy) and my casual dudes had skills.

You are so sweet! I try to keep spiders as pets...

I’ve got my fingers and toes crossed for you too!! Xo

Oh, I definitely feel lucky... My son has just grown out of always following me to the bathroom, and my door locks!!

I went through that recently as well. It’s extremely grueling. I ended up doing something completely different, so I suggest you also keep your mind open on jobs you might not have considered...

You’re really awesome. Xo

Thank you for your kind words and support! My takeaway from all of this is to learn that I can be stronger than I thought when needed. Also, that my mom is really, really bad about picking men.

This is EXACTLY what I thought when I read this article. My son could easily see me as having two sides, as I am as openly friendly and warm as I can manage in public, but I just need quiet time often at home. After just moving, my favorite escape is locking the door and taking a bath!

:-) My son, now 7, ended up with a less-frilly but still dignified “A” name. Also, I’m glad today that “Absolom” ended up on the cutting room floor!
