That doctor is 100% an asshole for his determination that YOU are ready for a child. I don’t care if he’s a great doctor otherwise.

Follow-questions whenever someone claims to be “pro-life”:

1. That seems messy and unnecessary, but whatever, not my sheets.

Hell, even my asshole-ex (who, at one point, snarkily commented that perhaps I should leave a little more food on my plate at the end of every meal...which would be assholish no matter what but I’d like to point out that I was about 110 lbs at the time, at 4'11" and totally healthy) purchased tampons AND Midol for me…

I had to see the Lizzie Macguire movie. With a fairly bratty 11-year-old. But hey, cash is cash, especially to a broke teen.

Thank you for making me snort seltzer out of my nose.

holy crap, people do this??? NOT OKAY. How do they not know even one other adult or teenager they can trust who can go to the movie with their kid? I did this a bunch when I was 14-17 — would take younger cousins and teachers’ children to a kids movie in the same theater while the parents saw something for adults.…

When I went to see The Dark Knight, it was a 10pm showing and multiple people had children under the age of 6 there. A few were sleeping babies that woke up crying during the intensely loud action scenes, but either quieted down quickly or were taken out of the room. But the worst was the couple about 10 seats over, 2…

Also, this ban is only on R rated movies, yes? So you can still take your 4 year old spawn to the PG-13 flick at 10pm in the next room over. Anyone whining about this policy can go suck a rotten egg.

Oooh, that’s a good idea, I’m instituting that for my niece and nephew!

My mom really wants me to have “at least one child” so that I have someone to take care of me when I’m old...and I was like, uhhhhhh, mom, that’s not how that works. Yeah, it’s gonna be fun when she gets older. But hey, my lack of having to financially support children of my own is going to work to her…

holy shit.

The last time I asked about this (just for information, not because I was definitely ready to do it), the doctor told me I was “way too young to make such an important and irreversible decision” and that he doubted any doctor would consent to perform the procedure. I was 29...an age that many people have kid(s). Yet…

Also, “29 and still not married, what a horror!” is seriously one of the most fucked-up mindsets—and it is so ubiquitous. I suppose it’s better than the “19 and still not married, woe is me” mindset of yester-year, but Jeezus Christ, peeps, why are you so worried about single people? I’m currently a few months into a…

it means you are a lucky birdy to have a puppy. i want a puppy. puppies rule.

Wait, please explain what #mancrushmonday and #womancrushwednesday are. Does it mean you can post what man or woman you are crushing on that week??? Does it mean you crush men or women on that day?! Please elaborate.

i wash out and use my bonne maman jam jars as cups, because they are the perfect size, and I save the lids b/c they come in handy (like when I don’t finish my iced coffee or my juice and I want to put it in the fridge without fear of spillage). my mom, sister, and niece and nephew now all think I am too…

I think Sartre would agree :)

Sadly, I’m pretty sure it’s true. Family events are a blast, naturally.

“No one would explain that part, so I just assumed the guy kind of ... sprayed it everywhere?”
