The most surprising thing to me about parenthood is that every single thing that anyone ever told me about it was completely true. It is exhausting mentally and emotionally in ways I did not expect. The physical recovery alone took me 6 months.
I totally saw this coming.
Yes, internet stranger, I clearly should have known that about you based on your two-sentence comment.
I can barely book a haircut once a month and my eyelashes are the lightest hair on my body, so... newp. Don’t worry, mascara, I’m here for you.
Didnt they claim to have started as a FWB type of thing?
sometimes, people stand up for fatties. just because you aren’t fat, doesn’t mean that it’s unnecessary. the fat ladies here appreciate it. not everything is about YOUR specific issues.
The amount of people in these comments defending this trash...
Really? “It’s always something” that’s your take?
Trans people taking issue with non-trans casting in trans roles
Wah wah it’s always something
Gay people being frustrated by stereotypical and homophobic representations
Bullshit, overweight men do not get anywhere close to the same level of harassment as overweight woman.
Probably just the ghost of an unvaccinated child.
Your wife shouldn’t be bullied into breastfeeding by sanctimommies. It has very few real benefits for those with access to indoor plumbing & safe drinking water. Formula isn’t poison & people who bottle feed aren’t bad parents.
my husband yelling at me because the baby was hungry and crying
My first reaction to this was, what a lovely moment for mothers everywhere.

I am sure this will get flack - but -
I worked as a nurse in a locked psych facility. One of my NAC’s lost a baby this way. She was not prosecuted because I don’t live in a shit state, apparently. She was just gutted over it, because she had no education in her life that had ever led her to be able to understand how the biology of all this works. She…
I should also add that many of the women were meth babies themselves so their brains were already not properly developed, then they became meth mamas who have meth babies. And our system does nothing to help them, it just makes money off them.
I just feel sorry for everyone. I am lucky to have been to jail for a few minor things (breaking apartment lease, not going to court = court of contempt and they WILL issue warrant for your 18-year-old broke ass!) and to have met women who have lost babies to drugs. I no longer have any anger or judgment, it’s all…
I have been slowly making my way through the very first season which supposedly lasts 2 years and a movie. It’s my soothing balm before bedtime. Hansan forevuh.
