I always said that if I ended up with the giant, darkened areolas/nipples, that I’d just look in the mirror and cry (no shame on women who have those breasts, it would just be a very different look for my body). I didn’t have that experience, but discovering stretch marks on my 31st birthday when I thought I’d avoided…

Oh, I’m sorry if I seemed doom and gloom! I just found the first two weeks after the baby was born that I was full of the weeps, and after that first one you don’t know what the fuck is going on and how someone trusted you to look after a brand new human. Every pregnancy is completely different, as is every birth…

It’s so nice to hear of people getting good advice from MILs. My SIL’s third baby just turned 1 (she also has a 9- and 7-year old, and I have a 6- and 3-year old), and my MIL was telling my SIL swaddles the baby in a tone of voice that implied she thought my SIL was doing something wrong. Ummm... not so much.

The day after we got home from the hospital (three days after my c-section), I got in the shower to get ready to go to the doctor’s office for my wee one’s check-up, and just lost my shit. My husband got in the shower with me (he could hear me from downstairs, eep), and comforted me while I talked about how ugly I…

Paul Rudd needs to go on this list. And Ryan Reynolds (hot and snarky works for me, what can I say). Zachary Levi. Seth Green.

She’s a woman! Who gets pregnant from a one-night stand! And decides not to have an abortion! And wants to still work! And do it all on her own!

A coworker of mine was desperate to have a baby with her partner. She got pregnant (after three months of trying, omg, it’s not working it’s not working, we’re having problems! - yes, she was one of those). Then at Christmas when her daughter was a year or so old, was talking about how she was expecting a ring from…

Hometown pride!

I used to put my hair in a ponytail with a regular elastic, then use the scrunchie to turn it in to a bun. I loved it! Now I have a pixie, so I haven’t brushed my hair in years.

The new show ‘Bull’ was reportedly based off Phil, iirc.

Okay, but that’s just adorable!

And sorry, second reply: there’s Movies for Mommies, and Stars and Strollers in my area. If you google ‘movie screenings for moms’ it should turn up any programs near you that exist!

Hey, have faith! In my area, there are theatres that do Movies for Mommies, and they play current films (I saw Magic Mike and Pitch Perfect 2 at their releases, for example) with the lights dimmed instead of fully dark, and the sound is reduced. They have tables with diaper pads and usually other accessories in the…

 Maybe a decent storyteller instead of writer; there’s a grammatical error in nearly every sentence of his written statement.

I’m not a photographer, but Trump’s photo is framed so that you make sure you see the presidential seal. Because god forbid anyone forget that he is president.

I remember that film! He also kept up his regular exercise routine, whereas I seem to recall that Spurlock didn’t.

I vaguely remember the wife died in a car accident, but I could very easily be wrong. I’ve tried hard to erase the show from my memories.

I’ve frozen while being groped on the bus twice now, and been mostly oblivious on two other occasions (different styles of gropage). At the time, I just assumed it was an accident - in retrospect, I wish I’d screamed or yelled or something.

Leo Snart has a juicy gay kiss? I really need to catch up!

One of my proudest burn moments was an evening when I was out at a bar with a friend, and a table of Jersey Shore-esque folks (two guys and a girl) were at the table on the patio next to us. They were being moderately obnoxious all night - enough that we noticed, not so much that we were really upset.
