Yes to all that, but it's like being prego for 13 years of your life!

Meh, it's not an insane age difference. But Chris Martin seems WAY older to me. Like, I honestly thought he was well into his 40s so was initially a bit put off.

Ugh, she gave her brother a burlap pillow for his wedding gift. Wtf. Her kids are all in school, it seems. She needs to get a damn job and stop being such a tightwad.

I just can't even wrap my head around it. One child is so time consuming, expensive, etc. I can't imagine it multiplied by 19. Not to mention the pregnancy, birthing, healing.

Yeah, I've had people hoover their infants over my rescue dogs face and then get offended when I told them to stop.

Twists and braids are so beautiful. To me, they look totally professional and low maintenance, making them perfect for the military.

My 85 year old neighbor has a bumper sticker on his car that says "keep Christ in Christmas" which he pointed out to me. He also calls my Asian breed dog a Jap dog. This has all happened within 4 days of meeting him. I'm not sure what the protocol here is. Can you even reason with someone that assigns a race to a…

THIS! It's hard to talk about this without people feeling like you're trying to control their reproductive process. I did an egg scan, found out I was a year from infertility at 35 and just went for it, also on my own. I'm totes scared, but weirdly also wish I had down this a few years earlier. Once your committed…

You can also freeze your sperm to ensure better quality genetic material, and higher sperm count. Things really go downhill after 40, unfortunately.

And the drugs are a few grand. And storage is about $1000/year.

If you're 30, and would like to have kids "at some point" I would suggest taking 1 hour out of your life and going to a reproductive endocrinologist to have your ovaries scanned to see where you stand with your ovarian reserve and egg quality. By the time one is 35 , a pregnancy is considered to be geriatric and egg…

She reminds me so much of this woman: http://nymag.com/nymetro/arts/f…

If you're not in open waters (i.e. the middle of the ocean), pooping is off limits!

I'm not in academia, but many of my friends are, and honestly, it seems like the most female unfriendly environment, ever, to the point where it seems worse than my former wall st/finance job in that respect which is saying A LOT.

Apologies. I totally read your comment as sarcasm, like, "Dudes have kids too, and it doesn't stop them from publishing! What's your problem?"

This completely shows that you don't get it, and you are totally part of the problem. Are you really comparing men's experience of parenthood to pregnancy, birthing, recovering from birth and breastfeeding? See the point here?

This is happening to my best friend RIGHT NOW. She is 35, has had her first child and will never get tenure because of. She wasn't able to publish enough and is now suicidal over the lost opportunities.

Thank you! It seems like a hostile world out there for new mama's who don't know what the hell we're doing! I guess I am just slightly ahead of the game knowing that shitty diapers in eating areas are "out."

I'm pregnant. Should I plan on never leaving the house again after baby's arrival?

The 4 and 8 year old can walk. Walk them out to the mini van and do what you have to do. WTF.
