The only people who see me pump are family and VERY close friends. And the tollbooth guy. And anyone who ignores the sign and walks in on me at work.

Even though I BF everywhere, a nursing room is sometimes really nice. I just posted this but, especially no nip-lash. My baby smacks off the nipple and gives googoo eyes and smiles at people when he hears them walk by. They can’t help but smile back but my nipple is then, exposed, and they’re smiling right at it. No…

It’s not that you CAN’T BF in public or on the plane. A nursing room is nice bc that’s what it’s designed for, you can relax, it’s clean (hopefully) to put your stuff down, you won’t get nip-lash from a curious baby, you can position comfortably without worry about showing you belly or while boobs (my baby flails and…

If the habits are a deal breaker for you you can let him know, but then you have to decide if you can live with it or break up. Can you stop letting it bother you? I know I couldn’t. Some people do grow and change their habits. I know my parents were smokers and drinkers before I was born, but I’ve never seen either…

Solitary confinement is cruel. I was just about to comment that I read an article about an officer who went into solitary for a weekend to see how bad it was. Where did I read that... The New York Times... but then I remembered it was Detective Stabler, SVU.

Thanks. He’s paternity was legally established. He singed the birth certificate. I’m not sure how child support works in my case since I make more than him and he watches baby while I’m at work 3 days a week. I think in my state they always assign shared legal custody and the person who makes more pays the other…

Thank you! So funny - I just went to my first UU service last Sunday!

Thank you. I have a great support system of family and friends.

Any single moms out there? Been trying to make it work with my bf since I got pregnant (our baby is 6 months now) and it’s not working. We’re doing counseling but... I can’t stand him. He wasn’t there for me when I was pregnant, we don’t have sex, he refuses to be transparent about money, drinking problem, the list…

My son is 3 weeks old today. Anyone want to share about getting through and enjoying the first few weeks? It’s been very emotional dealing with the fatigue and worry, trouble with breastfeeding, etc. I didn’t expect that I would cry just because he is so sweet and I love him so much. And how is someone so little so…

Don’t forget that since you’re a mom you can’t do anything for yourself lest you be a bad influence on your child! Or apparently, even if you state an opinion about a parenting strategy that someone disagrees with (less screen time) that your open for attack! So nice to see that on Jez.

Screen time, even educational, is associated with decreased attention span so...

I'm pregnant and working (special ed teacher). I'm trying to finish my masters before baby gets here too. Because of that, I have to take one day "off" to student teach. And by off, I mean working a full day at another school unpaid. Since I didn't want to use my sick time for that (saving for maternity…

I liked pooping with the door open at an angle that I could watch tv.

That brings 2 recent things to light. I mentioned that I've been making deposits in the blowjob bank and haven't been made any withdrawals. He said, what do you think all the shoveling, cooking, cleaning are? And recently we were in a fight and he yelled "I make your bed!" It was so completely unrelated to what we…

In Boston and can't shovel this winter bc I'm pregnant. I can't criticize her - I also sexed my way out of having to shovel my car out.

Is it just absolutely pointless at this point? I'm pregnant, I'm trying to eat well, but I'm assuming my baby going to come out with one of those soda rings around her ankle and a belly full of micro beads.

That's so funny, I was JUST saying to my friend the other day "anyone who knows me knows that short nails are my thing."

Agreed. When I was single the only time I made my bed was when I was going out on a date and hoping to bring someone home. Now that I'm not and living with my boyfriend, the bed is only made when he makes it. Maybe he wants to get laid?

SEPARATE BLANKETS! I started that last year with my boyfriend and it was a relationship saver. I do this really adorable thing where I roll and pull the blanket onto me, over and over so by the morning the blanket is half wrapped around me, half on the floor, and none on my partner. I just bought a king size comforter…
