Yeah, it's ironic that the Government in the Sunshine Act (which all citizens everywhere would be lucky to have) also allows bloggers easy access to stories like this. Section 119 is especially handy to citizens.

We don't know the details, but if she's a single parent without anyone available to watch the kid for her and needs a break, I could totally see dropping the kid off for a "Parent's Night Out" to get some extra sleep.

I think she's completely validated in having emotional distress— no quotes needed— really and truly a case for emotional distress

I think 'we're expecting' totally flies. Both of you are expecting. I mean, adoptive moms are expecting, right? So why not dads?

Shut up trunk monkey, nobody wants to breed with you anyway!

Well, yes. Because the woman would also not be pregnant.

In the world in which you live a man "gives" a woman a baby? On the planet Earth, where I currently reside, in humans the male sperm meets the female egg, fertilizes the egg, and gestates within the woman's body for around 9 months until the fetus can live on its own. Then the fetus leaves the woman's body in a…

Lol! It would be funny. "We do everything together! Next week, we're having a mammogram!"

Or also, doesn't "we're expecting" work too?

I had the same issue. I avoided saying "we're pregnant," but "my wife is pregnant" always sounded a bit removed. "She's doing this thing pretty soon where she's going to have a baby." Like it was a new hobby she had taken up that I wasn't involved in.

Hey, I want dads to be the ones to be pregnant! That would be amazing, and I might even have kids if it were the case. But until, "we're" not pregnant. Full stop.

I'm a guy with two children, and with both pregnancies I refrained from saying "we're pregnant" for exactly the reasons given above (though I would have expressed them with less snark). Still, it was weird at times not because I thought I was pregnant (I wasn't), but because I didn't know how the person to whom I was…

Full disclosure: I don't actually wear overalls but I am not ashamed to admit that I regularly wear old, worn in flight suits that I have collected from pilots who are bigger/taller than me. They're so soft, like snuggies but with a hundred zippered pockets for your every need. Plus, they're FREE! And if someone…

Yeah, agreed- except I was all about her voice instead of the boobs. But try as I might, I could never nail it.

Being a second grader with Kathleen Turner's voice would have been amazing :(

This feels like a mean thing to say, but people whose main focus seems to be on "working on" their appearance just strike me as being some of the most boring people alive.

My mom teaches small children and occasionally uses a Count Von Count puppet (from Sesame Street) when working with math/numbers. She does the voice, the accent, the whole nine yards; the kids love it.

I prefer notating my single/never been married (read: "spinster") status outright. How else will men know to beat me up??

Yeah, I'm thinking that women who are in marriages are much less likely to report domestic violence. It's a stickier and much more expensive situation to get out of, you're in so deep that you have already committed yourself legally to the guy, you might have a family and you're so brainwashed by the situation that…
