I think someone further up in the comments who lives in NZ (you may do too, I’m not sure) said that ‘health of the Mother’ includes mental health, so if they are not prepared or do not want the future child, then for most providers that is good enough :)

I have to admit I clicked that embedded video with some trepidation... it was perfect :)

Then, the tampon’s POV.

Yep, and now the internet knows!

Congratulations!!! Well done, what a fantastic achievement :)

I’m so sorry, I have everything crossed that your dog makes a full and speedy recovery. She is so lucky to have found a home that cares so much about her and loves her so much, no matter how long she stays with you. I’m sending thoughts to wherever you are, and I truly hope that she gets better soon.

I don’t think that writing out rules is too controlling, but you know your brother best and what he’s like personality wise. I think talking to him and outlining how your house runs will help him feel more at home. For example, do your own dishes or take turns? Share food or not? What % of rent? Maybe have him treat…

Hmm, jealousy is a bitch (as is she) and I know from experiencing my own jealousy with my partner that I would probably hate the fact that you and Mr. Goodfriend would go out on alone lunches and things. However I’m only 22, in my first serious relationship and have a history of mistrust with men (my Father was/is a…

Ooh I have a floppy eared dog as of two weeks ago! She’s now 10wks old and is just gorgeous! They are the best, I’ve only ever had floppy eared dogs but Stella is the first dog I have got myself out of home, not a family dog.

Prep is awful, apparently if you’re offered the tablets instead of the powder/liquid take them. Not every Dr/surgeon will offer them though as apparently they don’t do as good a job. You won’t remember or feel anything afterwards, so try not to stress too much :) I had one at 16 and when I went to get referred from…

Apparently it’s how Gothard likes his women. *vomits*

It can’t be good for her to have had so many kids, can it? Although I guess that is the sole reason why we women are on this earth... Ooh what’s their stance on pregnancy sex? Presuming that sex is for reproduction only, which I assume for these wackos it is?

This is a genuine question (and one I’ve thought about quite a bit even though I am yet to have children). Unfortunately in this society there are external factors parents can’t control (freaks objectifying/cat calling 11yr olds on the street, older guys hitting on younger girls) so how do you think is the best way to…

Yep, I completely agree. It’s the way it seems to go with every album she releases.

It looks like my kitty! Aw, so adorable!

Very well put! I’ve never seen this show myself, what does the Mother do when the older kids are looking after the younger ones? I have no doubt that that’s what happens, and I assume that the older girls do the cleaning/washing/everything too? If so, what is Michelle doing in that time? Not going to work I assume!

I was homeschooled and as exposed to everything that you listed as any of my friends who went to school from K-12. People who homeschool well (in my opinion) are careful that their kids are socialised and exposed to varying world views. In the years that I was homeschooled there were very few days that we didn’t go…

Haha definitely older than 19 but I see what you mean :p That was a very well thought out answer, and probably much more than I deserved! I know I’m definitely a different person today than I was at 19 and even now being several years out of Uni I think if I got engaged tomorrow I’d wait a couple of years to actually…

Have you tried Physiotherapy? If you find a good one they can do wonders :)

It is gorgeous! What do you all think is the difference between getting married at 19 and maybe getting married at, say, 24? It doesn’t seem like a big difference in years. Just curious really!
