So where’s the pamphlet that tells you about the risks of staying pregnant?

I know right? He’s 4. He’s supposed to like tacky stuff because light up and dinosaurs are AWESOME when you’re 4. Also, he’s a little person with his own tastes and preferences, not Tom Ford’s accessory.

Same. I do most of the meal prep not because my husband won’t help but because I’m very, “OMG, unless you can read my mind, get out of my kitchen! MINE! OUT!” Also our current kitchen is small and two people in there is at best an exercise in frustration and at worst a safety hazard.

We’re thinking of buying our first home soon and I really want an open kitchen, living, dining area for precisely that first reason. I work a lot and do most of the cooking and with our current seperate gallery situation, it means that most days I spend 1.5 (or more) of the 3 hours a day that my husband and I are…

I’ve loathed him since 2005. I feel justified in that consistency now.

I...didn’t realize that supporting civil rights and wanting tighter regulations on guns made one progressive. I am apparently waaaaay more radical than I knew.

Yeah, it’s got it’s problems definitely. But I do think it improves as it goes on. Also, I’m not watching it that closely so I’m probably missing a lot of it.

The exhaustion is just going to be a thing in your life until the second trimester most likely. Just sleep as much as you can and don’t feel guilty about it. If you can, go to Trader Joes and stock up on a bunch of decently-healthy frozen foods so that you don’t have to cook until your energy comes back.

Supernatural and Jessica Jones for me. Supernatural is my “chores” show. It’s what I watch when I’m doing cooking prep work or washing dishes - I enjoy it, but if I miss big chunks, I don’t mind.

In the spirit of this shitty, shitty past 11 days: ACTIVISM THREAD

I’ve also seen the slogan:

Can we be done with him now? Because this seems like some Sarandon level privilege bullshit right here.

Oh! A deeply shitty two-fer.

Love my IUD, love love love love. So much love, even with the longer, heavier, crampier periods (I have a 10 year copper aka: 2-term IUD).

I wasn’t clear; I meant, if he quit would that make him turn on him. The fact that he’s clearly been collaborating with the bad guys in every 80-early 90's spy movie and is totally out-alphaed by Putin hasn’t shaken them, so I’m sure an actual crime wouldn’t change his base’s opinion. But quitting...quitting might…

If he did, do you think that would finally get his supporters to turn on him? Half of me thinks that they’d find a way to rationalize and justify it, and half of me thinks they’d turn on him instantly like a pack of velociraptor that had just broken out of Jurassic park.

I feel like the guy who would say this is the exact same guy who’s every romantic complaint about women include something about, “Women just love making drama.”

I wish I had advice.

You too. The decision to have another baby or not is personal and should be based on a lot of factors. It’s shitty that for so many of us here, it’s based on this one awful factor.
