Flushing tampons down the toilet is the real horror here. NOT SO SEXY WHEN YOU HAVE POOP WATER ALL OVER THE FLOOR AND YOU'RE TRYING TO GET A PLUMBER ON THE PHONE AT TWO IN THE MORNING, CHRISTIAN, EH?

Wait...do other people NOT accidentally punch themselves in the face frequently?

Childhood is insisting you are too grown up for a nap. Adulthood is wishing desperately that you could squeeze in a nap.

I terminated a very wanted pregnancy at 26 weeks gestation in June. My daughter had a genetic duplication and abnormalities that would have ensured that her life was brief and painful, had she even survived the rest of pregnancy and birth. If I was not extremely privileged to have excellent health insurance and enough…

Oh man, the more the merrier with the rum. I don't drink for medical reasons, but please, don't take the rum out of my fruitcake. :)

DUDE. IT'S SO TRUE.

"it's mom..." I can only hope to embarrass my kids, on that level, at some point in their lives.

You're an evil genius. I'd watch the shit out of that show.

Pets are not capable of understanding why they are in pain, or why they must undergo a…

I can't even make myself hate-watch this Kroeger/Hagar collaboration, like I physically cannot make myself click the link, so congratulations on finding the one thing that's too dark even for me.

Madeleine Davies angling for Jim Cooke's job, clearly.

That guilt though did turn into rage when I had women walk up to me in a mall trying to educate me about the benefits of breast feeding and how I needed to power through…

The chief neonatologist at the very respected teaching hospital where I had MiniMinkoff poo-pooed my suggestion that it seemed my milk supply was simply not coming in sufficiently to feed Mini told me, "Nonsense. Any woman walking down the street out there can produce enough milk to feed that baby tomorrow. You have a…

For the benefit of all moms, future moms, and happily child-free friends of moms, I will share the words of my amazing pediatrician when it became clear that breastfeeding was not going to work for me and my son despite my increasingly frantic efforts:
