Yesterday I came home from work so exhausted. Kids gets in from the bus stop and I say “FYI, everything on the evening scheduled will be moved up one and a half hours early today. We will be in bed having quiet time by 7. If you disturb me, there will be a loss of privileges.”

Kaepernick has a good head on his shoulders and is a decent player to boot. Those things make me doubt his NFL prospects.

I’m committed to Long Summer Vacations FTW. Dude...3 months of no requirements. I don’t remember what that feels like anymore...to just wake up and think “what am I gonna do today? Maybe go to the beach? Or read a book? Or hang out in a tree? Or bike to my friend’s house?” Weekends as an adult are filled with shit you…

“It’s amazing what a nice meal and witnessing the most humiliating moment of Paul Ryan’s life can do for your spirit.”

Everything Is Free will win. How can anything left beat that?

Always remember that attachment parenting was invented by a fundie who thinks that women working outside the home is inherently traumatic to her children. There’s some good, useful stuff mixed in but it should all be taken with a huge grain of salt.

First rule of parenthood-these ungrateful, adorable little tyrants DO NOT GIVE A FUCK how crunchy you are, or what your plans are, or how ethically you plan to raise them. This is how people get all stressed the fuck out. You plan to cosleep? Ha ha, baby has terrible reflux and has to sleep in the car seat. Allergies…

It’s my parenting mantra. Kid’s being an asshole 3 year old? This too shall pass. Kid shits his/her pants and laughs about it? This too shall pass. Kid makes hobby of running into traffic/large crowds/insert dangerous thing here? This too shall pass.

This too shall pass-Best information I was ever given! :)

Meh. I sleep fine. My kids are like teenagers. I can’t drag them out of bed in the morning. And my younger one was one of those no-sleep babies. This too shall pass.

My suggestion would be to try one of the many suggestions.

I’m sure this mother wants to do the right thing but she’s so caught up in her own beliefs about what’s “right” she’s making it about her and not her baby.

Here’s the thing about all of the baby books out there: They’re mostly crap. Not that it’s all bad advice, but you are consuming advice about how to deal with a tiny person you haven’t even met yet. Your child may be a great sleeper and a terrible eater. They may get the worst diaper rash that only disposable diapers…

“I want advice so I can ignore it and still complain about my problem.”

I didn’t get that either. The baby is probably really hungry, because developmentally she should be eating *some* solids by now. At least every baby book I ever read said that 4 months is the earliest to start and 6 months is the norm. So yeah...that definitely got a ::head tilt:: from me.

They’re supposed to be eating at least a couple of baby sized meals a day at that point with protein and breastfeeding too (or bottle). No wonder her kid is hungry in the middle of the night.

“My spouse and mother gave me advice, but I don’t like it so I won’t do it”

“I don’t remember much about meeting the president of the United States except the exact words he spoke to me and where I was when he spoke them. But, otherwise, it’s all a little hazy.”

Is this coming through?

This is the most normal thing I’ve read about Brad Pitt in a long long time. What else does one do after heartbreak?

“vaping” and “listening to playlists of sad songs.”
