Kids aren’t bullied enough I guess. What their life is like at home can’t possibly affect their self esteem and mental health. I mean, it’s not like kids who carry the baggage of family issues and have been tormented for any number of reasons by their peers are shooting up schools. Let’s make an example of poor kids…

Wow. I’ve never heard this story. That is so awful. Those poor women. I can’t imagine the guilt and impact that made on Ashton to have been so close at the time of the murder.

What kind of deity are you? You would have been worshipped if you had shown up at my house after my kids were born.

Funding a full time nanny for a year is BALLER. On my significantly less baller largesse, I funded one week’s worth of the post-partum doula my sister hired to help her after her second. That was a gift I was very happy to give.

I have SERIOUS THOUGHTS about baby gifts.

Apparently, it wasn’t just her own name she declined to say with 60 Minutes’s requisite lifelessnes, but she was also told she had “too much emotion” in her voice while reporting out stories. “So I was working on pulling myself down and flattening out my personality — which, for me, is actually not such a good thing,”…

You’re telling me a show run by old white guys who let let numerous men get away with abusive behavior for years tried to sap the personality out of the most famous beloved person on the planet, a person who happens to be a black woman? I’m shocked. The most shocking development of my very very tired life. 

In before the “just adopt!” folks descend upon the comment section:
Adoption is wonderful but it’s important to acknowledge it’s also incredibly expensive, time consuming, emotionally exhausting, and contains just as many unknowns.

I’ve watched folks I love go through both processes and no one understands the sheer…

I’d say my husband for his part thinks he is an equal partner but he does not see the mental load at all. He also would be fine with our kids never being in an extra curricular, never going to a playdate or having a friend outside of our walls, not having gifts for birthdays/holidays, and no parties for anything, and…

I don’t see how these shape the choices of single, working mothers, other than a minor reference in Miller’s piece. What I do know is that I was the breadwinner in my marriage AND I took care of all the home and child needs, exclusively. Though he made much less, we needed his income (or I thought I did - turns out I…

Or a filthy string up next to your asshole.

I got an untuckit shirt as a gift. I always tuck it in.

I really don’t think this is entirely a gendered problem. There is a reason that SNL skit “Fashion Coward” hit such a nerve for women. LOTS of people don’t want a crazy number of options or anything more than basics that fit well. I am a woman and I similarly hate how long button down shirts are and wish more were…

My daughter and I were both Jaundiced and anemic when she was born and because I was also fairly...unhealthy at the time I had a very hard time producing milk...like MAYBE three ounces a day. So I supplemented with formula and made the giant...unheardof mistake of asking for advice about it online.

Night nannies are definitely a thing. I had a friend who used one for a short period because sleep deprevation was fucking with her ability to function in the day. Maybe this person is a doula who night nannies for her clients in the weeks/months after their birth?

Kidman is turning into a ballsy mature actress who dgaf and I like it. I’m sad for the younger ballsy actress she could have been if she hadn't been hit by the scientology bus

I will bet you my hat, my cats and my car that this story was originally fully autobiographical and he’s so fucking stupid that something as basic as Ctrl+F eludes this motherfucker.

I never had self defense growing up (I did later in life, after that incident.. but pre 19-years of age, I had nothing despite my father’s encouragements to learn some). My father was the one who told me to go first for the eyes if I could and never to attack their head first before trying the eye gouge.. thankfully…

Thumbs into the eyes works too - I blinded my attempted rapist 20 years ago when I was just 19 - he was focused only on pinning my body and forgot about my hands .. I didn’t make the mistake of trying to punch him in the head because that would’ve forced him to protect his head.. first thing I did without hesitation…

I mean, it’s true. Countless people approached her. You could not count them because there were none.
