My take is that her comment about genre was less about the noise but maybe more about the likelyhood of the crowd getting riled up?

...ok?

I worked at an AIDS service org for years and I'm not shocked, especially when people jump down someone's throat for asking a reasonable question.

The person asked an honest question and didn't deserve that snarky response. People don't ask questions because they don't want to feel stupid, and you're astonished by the lack of basic knowledge.

Same. I remember reading about this baby the first time and feeling really hopeful.

Ffs. Every time I read an article about this I spend the entire day wanting a stupid cupcake. I am hosting a baby shower this weekend. There will be a million effing cupcakes but it is still taking every bit of willpower I have no to ditch work and go buy a tray of stupid friggen cupcakes from the stupid friggen…

Stop that. I'm uncomfortable.

cheesus.

This applies to you as well, Debbie Downer.

Oh frig, this story is even better than the first!

Holy shit, I laughed.

for the record, even if you do split up the nights (as we did after we switched to formula) it is still exhausting. Even when one of us did get up the other would still wake because crying babies are loud. So loud.

I often think that people can have feelings and insight on topics, when if the subject doesn't actually affect them. In this case I feel like it's hard to understand the feeling of wanting to provide everything you can to your kid while still maintaining a piece of who you were/are as an individual.

or the people sitting at their desks, not actually working, but reading and commenting about her...

High five to this.

I agree with you. So many comments just being snarky for the sake of snarky.

Your mom day sounds a lot like my mom day. I get it. I know the stress and the always feeling like you haven't been able to nail it all but you're just so friggen tired and, in my case, just want 43 minutes to myself to watch the Real Housewives.

I didn't think you existed.

None of this is "meh", all of this is sad and vile.

It does?
