At my job I was only able to get 8 weeks paid which I felt fortunate just to have that.... 60% of it was covered by my paid time off, meaning that time was taken from my vacation/sick time. So after I got back if I got sick I would not get paid and if I wanted a vacation I would need most of a year to accrue it all…

Ditto. SO GRATEFUL to my mom who had real sex talk with me and let me get birth control when I was ready.

Oh god I feel you. Good luck with everything. I had to take a pregnancy test the other day and had a near panic attack.

They live 1.5 hours away..using them but trying not to take advantage :-/

THANK YOU for this website. I love it already!

Has anyone seen the documentary Private Violence? About domestic violence....I want to curl up in a fetal position and throw up right now. Sorry to be a downer tonight but they show pics of a woman who was black and blue, swollen, head to toe, beaten for FOUR days, and they were talking about how it might not be…

Thanks for the advice and love!!

My parents came down for the weekend so my husband and I could go to a comedy show so I still get relief here and there! :-)

I don’t even believe in ghosts but ask me to spend a night in a “haunted” house by myself and I’m like NOPE!!....BUT LIKE HOW MUCH MONEY WILL YOU GIVE ME CUZ I GOT STUDENT LOANS BUT....NOPE”

I didn’t think I could love you any more and then you go and post this. Marry me?

Yes that happened with me at 4 months! Like once he started interacting it was really nice and less alien. He is just in a fussy phase right now for some reason so it’s hard again haha.

I have a 6 month old and my husband and I alternate schedules to save on childcare which means 3 days a week I take care of him by myself and 3 other days a week I work 12 hour shifts. I am exhausted and I feel like I am losing my mind. I was in the grocery store today and saw a kid throw a temper tantrum and I almost…

My husband and I fucking love Not Safe with Nikki Glaser. It’s a refreshing show.

I semi-agree. You are only allowed to say “date night” post kids. As someone with a kid I want to yell at childless couples “Every night is date night for you!”. (Oh and absolutely nothing wrong with not having kids please don’t interpret it that way)

I say totes and jelly all the time but I am 31 so that means no. No they don’t say it anymore.

Whoa!

Love it. That doesn’t work as well for me. My ancestors were from the part of Mexico that became New Mexico when the US took it over. So I have been told by multiple people I am not really Mexican because my family isn’t from Mexico which makes me ragey.

No I totally see what you are saying!! I guess I was completely unaware that French had a look the way Mexican and Asian does? I dunno

Hahaha oh my gosh about that German thing wtf

Ha! Glad I am not the only one who likes the guessing game!
