HA!

‘scuse me I’m just crying for the 10th time today

I’ve been binge watching it for comfort. It’s like liberal porn.

I said yes and then felt the need to undo it somehow from the guilt

I can remember being maybe 8 or so, and I was a good sleeper for the most part, and walking into my mom’s room about 2am when i couldn’t sleep. Now I recognize as an adult and parent that she had just gotten to sleep after an 8-12 hour shift ending sometime around midnight or so, but at 2 am I walked in woke her…

100% the best. I will and do read every damn thing Kara writes because of her intelligence and clarity but also her brilliant fucking phrasing.

On my end, nearly 6 weeks. But that was in addition to almost 12 weeks of back and forth with the hospital and ins Co before I became involved. I can not tell you how infuriating it was to explain over and over that no they can’t bill for Baby Girl Last Name because Baby Girl Last Name does not exist as far as the…

Mine is 6 now and due to a complicated c-section we did not get skin to skin for several hours. She’s well adjusted, incredibly loving, smart as fuck, and so funny it hurts me. Trust me it will be ok.

My daughter’s birth was also billed in part to her, which is partially standard, except that they billed her as Baby Girl Last Name, but the insurance Co makes you add new babies with their legal name. So the insurance company rejected the claim because the name was wrong, and the hospital continued to resubmit it…

I did ordering for a hospital in my younger years and therefore knew exactly how much one of those green pacifiers they give out costs for them to buy. The kicker was when I had my daughter and we had brought our own pacifiers but they still charged us for 2 Hospital issue ones, with a 200% mark up.

That is heart breaking and yet so real. It’s the little traumas of gun violence that we don’t hear about enough. My daughter is 6 and I’m terrified.

This.

Also to clarify I dont mean like “yes actually dear I need you to make me a sandwich” I mean like “actually I’m having a rough week could we spend some time together watching bad tv tonight?”

I’ve been with my husband almost 13 years, marred for 7. I won’t lie - shit is hard sometimes. It helps to talk to each other a lot and even to do little checks and go “hey are you doing OK? Is there something you need from me?” and tell them what you need too. It made a big difference. Keep channels open, …

She’s pretty good stuff. I’m gonna keep her.

Perfect answer though.

My 6 year old daughter saw this ad during a break from star wars yesterday. She turned to me and said “Donald trump is so awful, mom. He’s so awful” baby, I know. I don’t even know what else I could say.

I’m fucking crying

This gif makes me laugh every God damn time thank you
