One of my co-workers is the target audience for this type of thing. In the past couple of weeks he’s gone on a rant about girls with unnatural hair colors and peircings. I wonder how many times he’s caught himself about to start on a tattoos rant before he remembers I’m moderately tattooed. (I keep them covered most…

They forgot to include “and don’t mind being ogled, hit on and generally undressed by the eyes of fat, stupid and generally unseemly patrons who will likely smell bad and wear camo”.

Lol age 20-27...what happens to a thin, unpierced, non-tattooed attractive woman at age 28 that makes her so disgusting to gun nuts, I wonder? Does her hot body become less freedom-y at midnight on her 28th birthday?

I don’t have a kid, not sure if I ever will at this point but I would like to some day! I’m totally with you— I feel like if my entire life revolved around caring/feeding/bathing a baby with no breaks to just be by my fucking self for a few hours I would develop some resentment for the innocent little kiddo. I feel…

RIGHT? I will never, never ever understand the mommy martyrdom pressure in the US. I suspect it’s related to bootstrappiness (everyone is an island and can do everything on their own, with no help from anyone, with just hard work and elbow grease, and if you get a little bit tired or need a break, you’re a failure who…

UGH. People are just the worst. Heaven forbid a new mother leave the presence of her child for a SPLIT SECOND and exist independently of the child. This attitude of motherhood being all consuming and completely erasing a woman’s identity is insane to me.

Fucking hell people are stupid. Aren’t we over moms being slaves to their babies yet?

When my niece was six months old, my sister took a weekend trip with my brother in law and left my niece with me.

OMG this Chrissy person is my new best friend. YAAAAAAS. it’s soo true. I have a 6 month-old, and I still get “but how can you leave her” when I go somewhere for like 2 hours while she’s with my professional nanny. WTF? They act as if a trip to try on some pants or have dinner with my husband is like I left her…

When I was on maternity leave, but my husband had to go back to work, when he got home at the end of the day I would just about throw the baby at him and sprint out the door, just to get an hour or so of feeling like a human being in the world again. I don't know why it became a thing to make children the center of…

Today is my first day back at work after maternity leave and everyone is asking if I’m okay and if I’ve cried and I want yell, “FREEDOM IS MINE, AT LAST,” at all of them but I feel like that would make me seem like a bad mom. Newborns are BORING, no matter how adorable they are! I got to eat my breakfast with two…

When I was being discharged after having my son one of the nurses made me promise I would go on a “date” (she said even going to the drive thru counts, as long as the baby isn’t there) within 7 days of discharge. F the haters!

I’ve met those mothers. When I am working on cases with their adult, married children.

I didn’t leave my one week old baby to go to a bar, I went to Target, and it was the most magical Target visit ever. There wasn’t a tiny human demanding everything from me, I didn’t feel anxious about not being able to make her happy every second of the day, I didn’t have my other kid screaming at me in jealousy..who…

Dear sanctimoms, where is your kid while you are on social media shaming other mothers for their choices?

They become helicopter parents and ruin the lives of everyone who works at the precious angel’s university and job as well as subsequent spouse(s)?

“Who wants to leave a one week old baby to go to a bar?” I’m guessing many parents who need a little bit of a rest. Just because you have a baby doesn’t mean your only role in life suddenly has to be being attached to your baby 24/7. Damn.

Man, more power to any new mom who can get an hour or two to herself (or out with her husband, girlfriends, etc.). You suddenly feel like everything you have belongs to a tiny, adorable, demanding creature. A brief respite to wear clean clothes and engage with adults can help keep you sane.

None of the concern trolls seem to be upset that John left his nine days old to have a meal....

I read in a review a really interesting - and who knows, maybe true! - re-reading of that bathtub scene.
