Congrats! That must be wonderful. I got mine a few months ago and it’s been an IUDelight. (sorry.)

I'm late to this so this may get buried but I got an IUD yesterday and I'm feeling liberated as fuck

I was a passenger in an accident where the car rolled five times and barely made it out with my life. Soon after I’d recovered enough to drive again, my car had a blowout. I was on a side road, didn’t wreck, just limped to the local small-town tire place to have it replaced. 14 years later, I still feel awful for the…

Fuck that, you were totally justified. They’re lucky you didn’t swear at them.

Girl I feel you, I just had this happen with the plumber. Quotes me $150 and then hands me a bill for $700. NOT OKAY.

I volunteered as a CASA- a Court Appointed Special Advocate for kids in fostercare. last year I ran into a kid I had been a CASA for when he was an incredibly smart but belligerent teen. I walked into a hot new restaurant and there he was.(now in his early 20s) I started to shake and asked if he remembered me. He…

I have a friend who some how lost custody of her kids to the man who beat the crap out of her and forced her to go through electro shock therapy. He is still on probation for beating her up. But she has no money to defend herself. Every few months he brings up some BS thing and she doesnt see her kids for months. He…

I’m pretty sure we could make a solid case that ‘research’ shows that families are better off in courts where the judges aren’t violent, bigoted shitlords.

He would look so much better in one. SO. MUCH.

Cheers!

Family court is terrifying. I have friends who have been to hell and back because some judge gets a wild hair up his ass and all you can do is wait and file again later. I really hope that these women get their child back soon. It is not in her best interest to be removed from a loving home that has all of the right…

I’d agree, but he slapped a kid and still has his job. How does some one manage that? I'm hoping it's the end anyway.

His resignation was rejected: http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/m…

so by quitting, he has shown that he has learned the error of his message! The man is brilliant.

I’m speculating, of course, but your post did make me wonder about this professor, if maybe he is a little too eager to be a martyr? Lot of that going around.

I would say administration is making him. He’s probably adjunct.

My boyfriend and I live together, but if one of our family members had an open basement or garage loft I would snap it up in a heartbeat. Getting by as poor, young people in an area that has few decent jobs and high housing prices is a daily struggle. My boyfriend was recently promoted/transferred and now absolutely…

Yep. My (only) child’s daycare probably cost more than his college tuition will. AND we had to keep paying for a half-day of daycare when he was in kindergarten, because our idiotic district didn’t see the necessity to offer full-day K. It’s insane.

ETA- posted in two different places at once because WHY KINJA. But I was going to say, um, you may be looking at my daycare, that’s what I pay.

Cost of childcare is one (of many reasons) I don’t have children at all.
