I know this is not directly related to this topic and just me raging, But I am really really tired of people telling me what is going on with my body. Between Republicans saying to me "don't worry we'll write a bill saying you get to spend your own money on birth control if that's what you really want" to strangers…

I don't blame you for feeling this way. I am also racking my head trying to figure out how to prepare my kid for things like this. I just keep hoping that my efforts to let him know clearly that no matter what I love him and he can tell me anything at all and it won't change how I feel about him will make it so he…

I also have a son and this is the stuff of my nightmares.

Thanks very much for sharing this. That's what I'm trying to do with our son. But I don't pretend to actually know what I'm doing it's really just a theory for me because I was not parented that way at all.

I don't want to be the one going, 'I'm cool, because I'm friends with all my exes.' There's a reason why you're called an ex. I crossed you off my list. Moving on. "

Hahaha. Sorry I laugh because we had two family weddings that were both dry in the same year and after the first wedding all of my cousins were whispering to each other planning in advance - "Ok, for the next one, we are all bringing flasks."

LOL! I let our son pick his clothes. Sometimes his choices are fascinating but I don't want him to not feel confident in his choices either so I never change them.

I agree with you on this. Honestly, I think it's important to encourage your child to think for themselves and express their opinion in a constructive way that does not involve screaming and yelling to get what they want. To be fair. I have only one kid at the moment and I am most definitely biased about how wonderful…

I thought that was what you meant. But I wanted to make sure. :) Thanks for clarifying!

I'm not entirely sure I understand your point.

It's fine she made that choice. That's her choice to do. Honestly I find it impressive that she can fit a four year old's clothing and I'm not hating on her doing that.

Well I can see that.

Well. I mean sure, but if you post it on instagram you're not just trying to amuse your daughter.

This is entirely why I accept and am cool with never ever wearing contacts. I couldn't handle it. Glasses for me forever.

I'm pretty sure they used to air it every year on ABC like they used to air The Ten Commandments which is the only way in which I ever watched those two movies growing up.

See I read this and thought you meant temperature hot and was going to disagree because my parents cannot handle a thermostat under 78 in the summertime.

But I bet you looked really beautiful :)

I am playing the world's smallest violin for her.

That is a legitimate concern. I was lucky in that they all resided in the same state excpet for my maid of honor just picked a reddish dress that was somewhat close since she was out of area. Although multiple shades of red, if they matched could be quite lovely.

What does it mean then that I dressed my bridesmaids in red when I got married!!?!?!
