Or the even-worse, maybe we will stay together/have a bunch of unprotected sex so I can turn this fake pregnancy into a real one.

Ugggghhh... *shudder*

I guess Utah refused to participate.

I'm really trying to understand your point, but I think I may need more elaboration. How does what Neko Case said push for a Straight White Woman perspective over that of a Queer Woman of Color? I am a white woman, and though I'm not straight I'm bi (which often we "don't count") and I'm married to a man (so I…

I think you did fine. Was it perfect? No, but I feel like your whole point was that it doesn't have to be. We (as in society, the mister and I have no lil ones other than cats yet) are all muddling through this parenting business together. Kids are durable and washable and people have been managing to raise them for…

I think that putting too much pressure on the fact that he makes more than you right now is also something to avoid. Your s/o understands your place in life, and you don't want to make it like pulling teeth for him to ask you out on a date either. I mean, you don't have to prove that you're not a gold digger each time…

That's what I came here to say too, except to also add this: when you accept a first date, you should come prepared to at least pay for your own half. So that way if things don't look like they're leading to a second date you can go dutch. If there is a second date they switch roles. Also if you cannot afford your…

And also that just because you have a girl that doesn't mean you can't do the "guy" stuff with her too!

I had a really high last number but low first two numbers, because most people I've done nothing-or-everything with. I wonder what that means. Goal-oriented?

Apparently being 28 and a bang number of 18, I'm heavy into the slut territory. Does being married count for nothing?? Lol.

Besides, your daughter is 15, and you're going to law school. It's not like she's 2 and you're moving to the city to become a prostitute. Not only will she be fine, but you're doing something as a positive motherly role model when she's old enough to watch and understand. Congratulations, by the way. Even though I'm…

I know what you mean. I wasn't raised in a single parent household, but everything else rings true. My parents raised two kids and three cats on barely-above-poverty by doing all the things you described. When I think about my husband and I budgeting for kids (If we decide to have them, because I don't know if I want…

And my night has come full circle.

My wedding was incredibly unbalanced, financially. My dress was about $300 on sample sale, but my flowers ran about $600. The venue only cost about $2-300, but we had a stretch hummer take us from place to place. If we had more time to plan I think I would have been able to put my foot down on some of these more…

We did a Honeymoon registry too, because we didn't want to get a bunch of stuff we might not be able to keep in a year or two (we just got married in January, and are planning on moving 2000 miles in about a year from now). We neither wanted nor needed a bunch of stuff, and our friends and family gladly helped fund an…

Basic bitches wear that shit so I don't even bother.

According to commercials there's only one type of woman. We sit around eating yogurt all day, twirl in a flowerbed during menstruation, and smile serenely whenever that pregnancy test comes back positive. We're also all in our early 30s (but cast to look 24), married, thin, and white. We do sometimes have a black…

Gotcha- hmm I wonder what the criteria is. I post pretty regularly on here, and was wondering what the deal was, haha.

So how does this new system actually work, do you know? I've been trying to figure that out. Do all comments start out grey, or do you get "promoted" eventually to having your comment go straight to black?
