Sounds like my damn cat. Who is training who here, right?

I found a better mom-friend once I went back to work than when I did the SAHM thing. I was a bit too overprotective of my kid and was horrified at the thought of letting my kid play in a public space. Also, I felt like an imposter because it was not part of our grand plan for me to stay home. Some moms who I knew…

I’m a Cardinals fan by marriage and by birth (and I’ll forever languish in the grays on Kitchenette now), but this is pretty antagonistic.

I wonder if these same people also have a higher rate of iodine deficiency since they’re so strongly opposed to table salt.

That’s depressing that a dude would automatically dismiss another dude as being a pedo.

I wonder if that mother had some negative experiences with friends’ fathers when she was a kid.

I'm pretty sure no one would bat an eye over my son showering with me (his mother). It's only occurred once after we were both muddy from gardening. He was 18-ish months at the time and he was flipping the hell out about the constant stream of water. It'd be awesome if I could get him to shower!

Are you on the old-school 2-year contract or did you do the Next plan? Been thinking about trading my 5 for the 6S and would like to know if your scenario is possible for me.

Away We Go. It’s hilarious and sweet at the same time.

The guy I dated before meeting my would-be husband tried to do the whole don’t-want-to-date-you-anymore-but-lets-be-friends thing. Even if I’d agreed at that moment I doubt we would have kept in touch. Maybe people can have that sort of friendship but it would be way too awkward for me.

WTF double-kinja post!

Imma be that person, but it’s “prairie.”

I hadn’t really interpreted the 2nd amendment as the leg to stand on when knocking down gun control measures. But it makes sense.

Admittedly I’m not familiar with the intricacies of HIPPA but testing/assessment administered in a non-medical setting wouldn’t be subject to those rules, right?

I agree that automatically disqualifying anyone with mental illness is going to make it even harder for people to seek treatment when it’s needed. Someone upthread suggested a national database of people getting treatment which would be even more stigmatizing than mental illness already is.

Oh that's what the hashtag was about? I'm even more irritated about it now.

Also 33, can we have a 1/3-life crisis?

Lots of us want to be the mom ours couldn’t be - it’s how I know you will be a good mom.

My height from my dad. Though it’s a negative when I need to shop for pants. Thick hair from him but I’m so lazy about actually doing my hair to make it look good so it ends up in a wet ponytail (cuz blow drying takes too long).
