Yes, it is that relentless. Though decidedly less glamorous than even this unglamorous insta pic makes it look. It’s also awesome if you’re at a place in your life where you can mentally/emotionally/physically/financially handle it, which rarely ever happens all at once to anyone who’s not rich or famous, so, maybe…

As someone with no kids, but the person people call when they need a break (or you know, to take care of your kid for 18 months while you work out some things), the answer is yes. Then no. Then yes again. And then they leave home and you cry about it. Mileage may vary.

Ok Jezebel (since this is apparently where I publicly work out all of my issues in a caffeine-induced frenzy, including my deeply troubling ambivalence towards reproducing one day), I kept seeing this pop up on the internets with the caption “yep, that’s what being a mom is like!”. IS IT? IS IT TRUE? Is it that…

Now we know that one man knows what it’s like. If only they could all fall in once or twice.

Is it creepy that I came here just to read the fucking comments?

As crazy as this state is with all the obscure alcohol laws and endless gun advocates, we do have a surprising amount of Planned Parenthood clinics and an amazing program to help those who have been sexually assaulted. Almost every day I wish I didn’t live here in Utah, but the good definitely makes up for the bad.

...and let’s not forget about Naval officers. Nothing more heterosexual than a bunch of seamen.

I’m with him. I’m sick of the way fruity guys dress all fruity these days. We should be more manly and dress like construction workers, police officers, bikers, cowboys or even Indian chiefs.

“In some small way, I wanted to help them avoid the terrible life I would have given them,” Megan Huntsman said in a statement her attorney read aloud.

Maybe if we didn’t have such a fucked up view about abortion and reproductive care in this country situations like this could be avoided. I didn’t research but I can’t imagine a state like Utah has a plethora of planned parenthood clinics.

Jamie Layton’s story reminds me of a famous story I heard when I was working at a regional theater festival.

I actually follow this advice. Mostly because I can’t fall asleep when I am angry. And I like sleep

Her reaction tells me that Huey is her father. He should have chased after her screaming: If this is it, please let me know if this ain’t love you’d better let me knoowww.

Who would use that? I mean i get that we all ( and by all i mean myself) want to be Batman, but i don’t remember Batman messing around with his boots trying to get a Batarang. I don’t know if i would want the noise of my keys jangeling every time i walk either. Sad thing is, even if it’s impractical a lot of my…

My new husband and I stayed in a cute little cabin on the Olympic Peninsula and cooked for ourselves the whole week while exploring the rain forest and local beaches. The very last night, we decided to splurge on a nice dinner out. We got all dolled up and had a drink or two and had a lovely evening. Driving along the…

I just did what was easiest with my kids. My first one slept like crazy. You had to bounce her just right to a particular Regina Spektor song (no substitutes) for a couple minutes, but once she was out, that was it for the night. In her own bed and starting at four months - her own room! Gasp! My second one was…
