It appears we landed on a similar track of thought.

First thought: That's awful.

Just continue staying on that wire (unless you know you'll land on your feet with ease). The time I spent on the site was like torture until I was certain I wasn't on it.

I was late to the party on POWM and, not joking, spent a couple days going through all the photos to make sure I wasn't on the site.

I never thought it was weird/gross either, my Momma nursed my siblings. Under a cover in public, though I think that was her own modesty and not for other folks comfort levels.

Somebody should have filled commercial dad in on the 'abandon cart and bail' concept. It's a pain to ditch your shopping mid-shop, but a bigger pain to allow a *child to behave that way.

Oy. When my kiddos have a meltdown (no one is immune), I will pick them up and leave the store.

I'm agoraphobic. This type of situation would have me in a corner, fetal position, rocking, while crying and/or muttering to myself. I'd straight lose my schmidt.

My 7 year old is doing the same, wants heels, makeup, and bras. I let her do makeup at home(no mascara at home though, she's got beautiful long lashes already and is not good at removing it without tears, so nope) and for photo shoots/parties/performances.

I just snorted the baby awake.

Were we married to the same man?

I would bet my very life that he falls somewhere on the cluster b scale.

I'm willing to armchair DX a cluster b disorder for him. His only shame is in getting caught. I doubt he believes what he did was wrong.

I had showers for my first and second children. My oldest is a boy, 13, and my daughter is now 7. I would have had a shower for my youngest, a boy, now 13 months if he hadn't been an early arrival. I told my friends to cancel it (no money had been spent yet) since he couldn't be around people (germs).

My favorite is SBL by Natalie Dee. Gorgeous stuff!

I'm pretty fond of The Militant Baker.

Indeed. I'm the oldest of 5. Until 2008, I was the oldest of 4. Surprise brother found me on fb. My sister and I were open to knowing him, our momma was freaked out for a couple days, then relented. It's all worked out nicely, he's a great guy, wonderful family. It was all just so....Lifetime movie.

Huh. I thought all kanji tattoos said 'dogshit tacos'.

I nearly woke the baby, because your comment caused me to choke on my water. Brilliant!

That look!
