Truth. I worked with a woman who basically papered the walls with pictures of her baby. He totally looked like Quasimodo.

I’m not sure why I didn’t realize it before, but in Texas where I live, those stupid ass rules apply even for medically necessary abortions. There was a question about this pregnancy and I asked about the procedure. My doctor can’t do it or he’ll lose his admitting privileges. Similarly, the hospital I’d normally use…

Stay strong. Good luck.

I have experience with narcissists! I have no advice but I do have massive sympathy, those people are the fucking worst.

I think both the zoo and natural history museum in Houston are better than the space center, actually.

Oh god. The Winnie the Pooh themed nursery for my oldest is why she's so clumsy now. It's all my fault! Nooooo!!!!

THIS. I actually think this is really valuable because people who haven't been legally fucked by the rich don't really get the full effect. This is drawing the curtain back on how this goes.

Plus you have to add sales tax, so we post a sales tax whiteboard, with all the book prices and what the tax will be, and we write it on their papers or tell them to write it and inevitably, kids show up without the tax. And we have to either deny them their books or pay for the tax ourselves.

Nope. Just one less kid going to regionals. And then the counselor pulled my kid into her office to do damage control. All the regionals kids were also going to a local STEM thing next month, but they hadn’t been told yet. So the counselor sold it to her like, as compensation for missing regionals, you are going to…

Wow. That lady is a full on cunt waffle.

Not in the near future. My 8 year old qualified for the regional science fair this weekend, and when I emailed to confirm the meeting time I was told she can’t go, because she’s missing some paperwork.

I’m in the PTA to combat the fact that people at my kids’ schools are apparently willing to believe my ex’s new wife when she says she’s their mom. So I thought I’d make an effort and be PTA. Those people are all bitches and the PTA is of the devil. Also of the devil: school picture day and book fair. You don’t know…

Before I had the orders changed, my ex would pick up the kids at my apartment. He'd go into the office and ask to see my apartment, or failing that, the apartment next to mine. He'd park hidden in the trees along the road, then follow me into the complex and say, you didn't see me there, right? You never see me. The…

How does he still look so pretty?! I curse my bad genes.

We just got a pet fountain, filtered water and the whole nine yards. It's supposed to encourage them to drink more and reduce the kidney issues one is having. I just saw one of the cats drinking from a measuring cup I have soaking on the kitchen counter. In view of the new cat fountain. I don't know why we even try…

Uh....I have no personal experience with lions outside of a zoo, but that seems like a really fucking bad idea.

Yeah. I put a cat on a diet once. For the rest of her life, every time I was in the kitchen, she'd knock her food bowl off her cat tree in an ostentatious manner whilst giving me the glare of death. YEARS LATER, she would do this.

I would prefer not to be lumped into that group of racist assholes. Please and thank you.

I don't know...*I* find it super amusing.

The kids are finally old enough to appreciate that if they can wait till the day after Valentines (today) they can get twice as much candy because it goes on sale. I spent five bucks per kid this morning and got three bags of candy and a stuffed animal. They're so happy.
