YES! Best thing he ever wrote was that series! I was 10 years old when I read it and it has stuck with me - I'm now 29 and not ashamed to admit I have the whole series!

Oh please, please, please, Daughters of Eve!

WHERE IS THE LAST VAMPIRE?????????????????

It's a pretty self-deceiving to think that being a narcissistic asshole with no respect for others, especially their elders, is a phenomenon new to this generation of teenagers. Socrates famously said,

I honestly feel that, with the way teenagers are being raised today to be the most narcissistic assholes and have no respect for others, especially their elders, that maybe the only way to start teaching them is legal action.

I'm a big fan of this finding. I mean if we can show that Climate Change negatively affects TEH MENZ, maybe the dudes in charge will take SOME GODDAMN ACTION.

Is anyone on Earth surprised by this?

Ooooh I wouldn't let my parents (or in-laws) come to the hospital until my kids were born. And the amount of bitching my mom did about THAT only solidified my resolve to respect my daughter's privacy—both in childbirth and beyond!

I had a completely uneventful pregnancy. The only thing that was out of the ordinary was the fact that it took me three years to get pregnant. But other than that, it was normal. I went into labour on a Friday. Contractions sucked, but I managed them. Friday night I even drove to go get take out. Saturday was worse,…

My husband, bless him, has never said anything as to what he saw...other than things like, "They both came out face-up, but (son) opened his eyes and looked right at me when he was still halfway out. It was creepy." It's a reminder that—even though being the one doing it is 8 trillion times worse!—I never want to have…

Yes, of course! My son's birth was exactly as you describe, except I did tear, but not terribly. My labor was about 10 hours total, my epidural worked fine, I pushed for an hour, and there he was! It wasn't exactly an enjoyable experience (lots of blood—that's normal, pooping—also normal), but there were no medical…

[Husband] also made the mistake of saying "But it was only 40 minutes!" I offered to stab him in the crotch for only 40 minutes.

Spaceballs ruined this entire scene for me. "Hello my baby, hello my honey...

For my second kid's birth, my epidural failed. Yep, apparently this is a thing that can happen. I had been in labor for about 12 hours and was exhausted. I got it just as things were getting intense, and was fine for about an hour. Then all of a sudden the pain came back full force, just as I was transitioning - the…

yes please. I am a change and risk averse person. i need to lie to myself to get anything done.

I understand why people would feel like they couldn't talk about this. If we're being honest about feelings here, I honestly felt no sympathy for the women above. To be honest, I saved all my sympathy for their children.

I don't understand why you wouldn't want to get these kinds of messages, ladies. Sometimes you have to wait months or even years to find out you've been dating an asshole, but these guys just let you know right away. It's practically a public service!

Boobs are the WORST. Bras suck, they never look right under clothes, they're so awkward if you're trying to carry your shit around in a messenger bag or go running or try sword fighting. You can't sleep right with them, they're uncomfortable, they feel unprofessional... I really hate them.

First off, I was not expecting you to respond to my comment. So thanks for that!

Ugh, Food Babe. She is seriously the worst. A total hack who promotes pseudoscience, has absolutely no education in any kind of nutrition or food science (and yet holds herself up as some kind of authority), and basically does nothing but scaremonger and bully. Terrible, terrible person all around.
