Oh, I didn’t say she was trying to get him to choke down broccoli. Just something dinner-adjacent before dessert.

The reason the dinners last so long is because Melania, like any parent of a toddler, is sitting there for three hours bargaining with Trump to eat just one more bite of his dinner if he wants to get his two scoops of ice cream.

I’ve made sure my two knew the proper names for their body parts from the beginning (though I admit I’ve used vagina where I should use vulva for my daughter). This led to her pointing to her action figures and saying Batman has a vagina, which sure, why not. But hearing my then-2-year old referring to his penis and…

Yup, I worked on it for both of them before they started junior kindergarten. Same with our address - made she they knew that early on (though I think I’ve been more diligent about teaching my older than my younger -- sorry buddy).

My MIL will refer to me as ‘mom’ when she’s around my kids sometimes. Like, “Mom, is it okay if child has a snack?”

Lady, I’m not your mom. Use my first name; I promise the kids won’t be shocked, since I’ve made sure they know my real name.

I had an ex-boyfriend who would get very upset if I wore shirts that he felt ‘emphasized’ my breasts. They are lumps on my chest, dude, anything I wear is going to change shape to accommodate them.

Oh yeah, I remember when that episode aired. I pouted. :D

Hey, as someone with a BA and an MA in communications (and now nearly 16 years’ of experience in the field), the degree’s not for the faint of heart, no matter how easy it sounds!

It also feels different to me than peeing. I have peed during an orgasm, and I recognized it as peeing in the moment. I now ejaculate fairly regularly during orgasms, and it feels different to me. The liquid isn’t coming out of my urethra.

Can I please recommend this comedy sketch by the Frantics?

Late to the party, but I never heated bottles for either of my kids. I’d run them under warm water when they were younger, then when they were older they’d get them straight out of the fridge, they never seemed to care. They do like to have their food cold a lot of them now that they’re a bit older, actually (7 and 4).

When I was pregnant, I heard a sampling of women gleefully cackling about getting to shirk litter box duties, and I always thought that was shitty of them.

I’ve been listening to the back catalogue of the Blank Check podcast, and one of the things I’ve found so refreshing is how many times the two (white male) hosts will say that something in a movie makes or made them cry. They’re so nonchalant about admitting it, and I love it. They’re in their late 20s, so I don’t…

All the positive vibes to you and your family. I have close family friends who have been in remission from MS and inoperable non-hodgkins lymphoma for nearly 20 years, and I hope for something similar for your boys.

My grandmother died recently, and I have a garbage uncle who lives in her her home with his garbage girlfriend. My mom (the baby of the family) was upset that the three items she’d asked for from the home, she’d been told were “gone” (garbage girlfriend loves to say that my grandmother was throwing things out, etc.,…

I know that London did a trial run of proportional voting in our Ontario election on Monday. Not sure what the results were, but I thought it was neat that a city was allowed to run their election a separate way as a road test.

I had two twatwand ultrasounds when I started bleeding during one of my pregnancies. The egg never actually developed beyond 5 weeks and 5 days, and literally looked like a fried egg - which made the resulting miscarriage a lot easier for me to handle.

He was also in Old School as one of the students, if that’s your thing.

NOOOOOOO

No word of a lie, I think of this quote on at least a weekly basis.
