I'm sorry that happened to all of you. I just really don't understand that kind of bitter hatred. And that is so scary. I hate that someone was able to ruin a nice evening and that no one stopped to help or say anything. I 'm sorry. :(

That is hilarious. I am not sure which of my children to fear more. My son (3) has no fear and does before he thinks but he gives a play-by-play as he's doing it so you know what's going on (ie., you have time to throw yourself across the room to stop/catch/break the fall). My daughter (2) is more cautious but is…

My kids are 2 and 3 and the 2 year old has cried about everything since the day she was born. Other than that she is amazing but it has really drained me at times. I know it will end eventually and it has gotten better as she's gotten older but GOOD GOD!!! Stop the crying. My 3 year old was more of a whiner which…

No, I really haven't had mood swings. I'll be honest, I didn't research IUDs or Mirena very much before I got it. I had two babies back to back (one at 41 and one at 42) and I was just on a mission not to have a third. We backed this up with a vasectomy for my husband - just in case...but I did not know Mirena had…

My daughter has that and it drives me insane. I can see the side eyes I get sometimes when I admit what an asshole my kids can be. Doesn't mean I love them any less but that high pitched screech that goes on and on and on is the WORST.

I don't have any real advice for you but my best friend since junior high (I am mid-40s) is going through something similar. Same as you, he never missed work. He started accusing me of stuff that didn't make sense and when I would say I didn't even know what he was talking about, he would accuse me of playing dumb.…

I have the mirena and my skin has never been better. I am 44 and got it after my second child was born before I had a period (about 6 months after she was born) and I haven't had a period since. I had very oily skin, acne and heavy, cramps periods and I have not had any of those problems since I got it.

One of my best friends is beautiful and dressed up as Marilyn Manson one year and she was SPOT ON. The costume was BRILLIANT. But no one hit on her and she was so bummed - hahaha - she laughed about it but was like I'll never do that again. That still cracks me up when I think about it.

I am the exact opposite. I delete people all of the time and it's nothing personal. I don't announce purges, I don't discuss it. I don't notice if someone deletes me and if I do, I don't take it personally or care, even if I should. I actually think I'm in the minority because most people I know feel like you do.

It constantly amazes me to see people ask for money (ever or regularly) (delete), constantly complain about everything (delete), the 45 divorcee with the sexy pose/boob shot/selfie (delete), the overly religious zealots (delete), the girl who asked what day was "f" her so hard until she can't walk day (laughter). I…

This is so heartbreaking. I am constantly amazed that I made it to 44 without knowing these types of things exist. I don't know whether to be thankful for that fact (I am) or appalled at my naivety (I am). :( It also reminds me to be kind to my parents who are so nice and normal that I cannot even wrap my head…

I would hope if my husband had something he wanted me to change he would tell me. And I hope I wouldn't take it personally. I don't think I would. But I would so much rather the he was honest with me than just shut down and lost interest. I would take it as a good sign that she told you - she cares enough to let…

Depends on how you feel about it. You said that one of the reasons you stopped was the cost. The other is to get used to how you look as you age. If it truly is more of a monetary issue and red is a color you would otherwise want, I would do it. If you prefer another color, I would ask if the offer still stands if…

I have read a lot of comments saying had she worn the same outfit but not painted her face black it would have been okay and that it is the painting of her skin that is the offensive, racist part, regardless of her intent. Painting your skin black (regardless of whether you are doing "black-face" in an intentionally…

Minus wishing him an Amanda Bynes-style breakdown, I wholeheartedly agree. I just don't wish that on anyone, even Kanye. He just isn't as "wise" as he proclaims. Half of the time (or actually all of the time) when he talks he just throws words into the air and people who idolize him think it's some profound…

I do this with my three year old and he is starting to get it. Sure, you can do x. The consequence is y. The end.

You know you're wrong for that - but that is just hilarious and I am literally laughing out loud. So thank you!

I think your instincts were telling you one thing and someone or something else was invalidating that and was causing you some confusion. I wouldn't lose too much sleep over what you did since it confirmed what you already knew. Whether you use the information or not, at least now you know you can trust your…

There comes a time when you should lower the bass and bring things inside. In an apartment, the cupcakes might buy you until 2. Not answering the phone # you provided would make that gesture seem sort of insincere. At 4:30 you're not really "breaking up the party" at the peak. I would have come unhinged way…

OMG, it just validated my whole experience. I guess I should have googled that. LOL. So far in my rear view window now but definitely makes me feel less crazy!
