Re: Sara Hyland drinking four glasses of wine at lunch - - that’s my definition of a Saturday. Ps, what fucking loser is sitting two tables away from her and counting her drinks - my mom?

This reminded me of the Friends episode where the Paul Rudd character (Phoebe’s husband) demands to be called Crapbag after she renames herself Princess Consuela Bananahammock.

This is a good time to remember this.

Thanks! I figure we all need something to smile about on a Monday now that Behind Closed Ovens has been so rudely ripped away from us!

Human bodies are so fucking cool! Like, it’s actually possible to attach someone else’s body part to your own and, if done properly, your body is like “Welcome to the party, brah. Let’s get you up and running. Please ignore the liver; he’s cranky AF on Mondays.” Science, man.

My eyes rolled so hard at the grades thing. If you don’t trust your abilities as a parent and by extension your son at this point, why are you spending $50k a year on his education? My parents (including SAHM) had boundary issues, and monitoring grades in college would have been extreme, even for them (and they paid…

“I’m not saying our approach is better”

That is so crazy to me. Straight up - I could not be a good mom if I didn’t have “time off”. I love my kid, and he’s amazing, but I can’t just be with him 24/7. I need adult time and adult conversations. But I’ve honestly never even met a mom who didn’t agree, or didn’t need the same things. Maybe people are just…

As a non-American, this was a very interesting read to me. I have a 1 1/2 year old, and I can honestly not relate to any of this. Part of me is kind of scared that this is because I only hang out with alcoholics - but on a more serious note I think there are some significantly different cultural approaches to the…

I’ve contemplated creating static social media accounts to deal with the social/job-related imperative to have a social media presence. You know — a Facebook profile with my photo and some basic info. But then never going on Facebook. I have a few friends who do this and I think it’s great. They can log-in…

Thank you for speaking up.

This movie... my sister and I used to get together on Sunday afternoon, eat a lot of ice cream, and watch any terrible, weird movie we could find at our local video store. One week we decided to try to slog through Battlefield Earth. It is positively PAINFUL to watch.

I was blamed for my mother’s attempt when I was 17 years old (I’m now 40). We have all moved on and she is doing much better, but you DO NOT forget this shit, ever.

On the one hand, I’m super sympathetic because it’s obvious she’s in tremendous pain and needs help. But on the other hand, I have a super toxic mom and for my own sanity have to keep her away from me and this is precisely the shit she’s pull to try and get attention from me. (She let my abusive ex husband move in…

I recently did IVF. The day of my egg retrieval, I was teetering far too close to the hormone levels that would result in OHSS, so my doctor made the decision that we would fertilize, then freeze immediately, and see what’s up in a month or so when my ovaries were a less scary size.

This just happens with tall guys and short girls but to be honest she doesn’t look that young (even without the cigarette which ages her considerably). She is 29 and he is 46, that really isn’t an unreasonable gap given the context of her life. She grew up fast and owns a very successful fashion line. Honestly most 29…

Literally this same thing just happened to me. I am in a wonderful relationship and have been for years. And yet when I saw the ex’s baby, I immediately thought, “I wonder if our kid would have looked like that if I hadn’t of had an abortion.” Thanks a lot for inspiring that fun thought mutual friend who I am now…
