Some things from this week:

I’m thinking it’s a product of male entitlement. Everything that you said is exactly what I’m going through at this moment. I’m 32 and married. We have three kids and I’m pregnant with twins (surrogacy). He seems to think that pregnancy is the easiest thing that I shouldn’t be b*tching about wanting help and such, yet…

No, it’s not normal. And yes, it is male entitlement. And toxic masculinity, which has beaten the capacity for introspection from a lot of them as well.

So I’ve had a roller coaster of a month, what about you guys? My coworkers and I have been stressed for months because we knew our jobs were being outsourced. They dropped the ax a few weeks ago, I actually made the cut for now. I feel shitty to see so many good people go. No one gives a shit about companies who ship…

Could be something as simple as the house settled and the door kept swinging open letting dust/spiders etc into the storage area (I grew up in an old house).

Amen. My eldest ate whatever international food we were eating and had a super adventurous palate.

My son is starting Kinder (public school, uniforms) & I was kind of shocked that all told we ended up spending about $200 on clothes & supplies, even with getting pants 2nd hand. That seems crazy to me. Don’t know how people with more than one do it.

I eat my kids food pouches, they are goddamn delicious and $1 pouch. I just snarfed a strawberry spinach greek yogurt quinoa blend. FOR A DOLLAR. It’s wonderful.

It was just an example. I didn’t realize people had such animosity against Rose Art!

Thankfully all my friends who are also parents are pretty broke all the time.

I dunno. I read too much about melamine in pet food, and invested a lot of time in making really lovely baby food bc I’m a foodie and wanted to expose my kid to a lot of different flavors early in life. A service that I trust to deliver high-quality baby food that I don’t have to make myself seems like a time saver,…

Thank you! Since moving to the Midwest, I’ve discovered ham salad. Somehow this is not chunks of ham in mayonnaise (which would still be gross), but ham puréed with mayonnaise to make a spreadable pink mush. I cannot fathom why anyone would eat this. Meat should not be puréed people! How do people not see this?

True, but when you’re trying to buy school supplies for a bunch of kids and have limited funds, some compromises are made to save money. I don’t think that’s something parents should be judged on. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

where do you live; I am scared of it.

Yeah, but the people who would buy this bougie baby food probably don’t eat Totino’s pizza rolls and Hot Pockets themselves.

The texture of baby food is impossibly gross. Pureed meat is the most horrifying concept.

Ugh. People are the worst. It’s back to school time, which means the Parenting Olympics have started. Does your kid have Crayola or did you send Rose Art markers? Did you remember to put hand painted cards in their lunch boxes? Do their clothes looks like they are heading out the door for their job at a super cool…

True story: I was a witness on an episode of Judge Judy once. I wanna say it was 2004? May have been 2005. Two friends were suing each other after one got hurt driving his four wheeler on his property.

I love this just as much as I loved Kathy Griffin going to “Maury” while in disguise.

Move to L.A. and join an agency and I think this is feasible. A million years ago I went to a taping of “The Doctors” and half the audience was paid extras. My gorgeous friend was asked to join the second, women-only taping. I left my gratis gift at the restaurant, the warm-up comic was terrible, and Dr. Travis Stork…
