UUUGH. I’m 32, in a long term relationship and have no plans to marry or have kids...hell, I don’t even want to move in with my boyfriend anytime soon. The women I work with are just insanely confused over these life decisions and a day doesn’t go by where they don’t poke my belly and ask if there’s a baby in there or…

You have four kids, I have zero kids, the important thing is that as women we are both WRONG WRONG WRONG ALL THE TIME WRONG.
["Last night’s scene with Peggy had me literally standing up on my bed yelling “YES!” because fucking YES! Because in 2015 women STILL are not given the space and freedom to move on and live the rest of their lives in the way men do and it doesn’t even fucking matter what choice she makes: abortion, adoption or single…
My daughter is a young twenty-something who is constantly asked about having kids. She isn’t even in a serious relationship, or any relationship for that matter. I know that’s not a prerequisite. She’s tired of defending her decision never to have kids. A couple of weeks ago, she finally snapped at a coworker and…
Except the assholes who ask women about having children are almost always other women. Usually older. At least in my experience. Though my (somewhat traditional/old culture) family knows how to keep their mouths shut! Good for them.
One thing that jumped out at me, to reiterate what Peggy said, was that Don’s big idea was to relocate to LA. Never mind that Don has three children, including a still very young child, in NY. Why would that impact anything? It wouldn’t even have crossed his mind.

As a working woman for over 25 yrs I have never opened a conversation with coworkers of either sex asking about children. And yet other people find it appropriate. I don’t need to know about Fred’s recital to sell you a fucking doohickey. I don’t care if you have them or not. Have one, have a ton. Just keep the snots…
Well, what I mean is, I think she’s paid more not because she’s valued more, but because Ted and Don are invested in the idea that she is for their own reasons (Ted’s romantic interest and Don seeing her as his). I really don’t think a behemoth like McCann would let those personal preoccupations get in the way of a…
One thing I was thinking through the whole headhunting scene... Peggy’s probably being paid more than a woman copy chief at a comparable agency because two of the partners are personally invested in her success and her value. Don said it himself way back in the Suitcase, her pay is how he shows he values and…
I loved this episode so much, and in a way, I wouldn’t have been mad if it had been the one to end the whole series. Pete and Trudy were awesome. The centuries-old vendetta coming to blows in the headmaster’s office was hilarious. We got the callback to Peggy and Pete’s child that we’ve wanted, and, I think, a good…
Where is this going? I feel like the show is in the middle of a middle season. I can’t believe there is only two more episodes left because if feels so...unfinished.
My six year old daughter lost her second front tooth this weekend. She has kept all of her teeth and refuses to give them to the tooth fairy. I guess her teeth are more valuable to her than money, and I’m okay with that.
Dear Child,
