Meghan is so LA Mom here it’s delightful.  I want her to rock sack dresses and aviators and a middle part forever.  If only she had on a pair of Birks or Vans slip ons to finish the look...

As an Elder Millennial/Baby Gen Xer (the internets say this makes me a “Xennial”), the rediscovery of the great Keanu Reeves fills me with a deep sense of peace and validation. My 13 year old self was right!!! Keanu IS the greatest of the 90s hunks!

This seems like the only live action remake where the live action thing might actually...work. The power of the original Mulan film was in the story—that it was told through the medium of animation was kind of secondary (contrast that with the original Aladdin, which is a magical, fun film precisely because it is…

The bulk of my late adolescence/young adulthood was in the Heyday of the Thong, and they are the fucking WORST.  I know there are women who swear by them, but how?  and why?  and really?  I tried so many of the damn things in the days of my youth, and could never make it a full 12 hours before sliding back into the…

GROSS.  No wonder he’s an ex!

Yup. Hiring a twice-a-month housecleaner was a birthday gift for myself when I was 7 months pregnant with my second baby, and we will NEVER go back. There’s a whole section of stress and self-judgement in my brain that is just...gone. I see it as a mental health investment.

Oh my god, the pre-Grandma visit cleaning freakouts of my childhood were legitimately traumatizing. My mother would lose her damn mind, and I would ALWAYS end up sobbing over a bucket of Pine-Sol. There were/are a lot of understimulated, stifled housewives* in my family, and all that rage and sadness and boredom got…

Not just the Cleaning Fairy, but the Refill the Handsoap Fairy, and the Change the Toilet Paper Fairy, and the Pick the Dirty Socks Off the Floor Fairy...

My husband’s response to housework stress is to tell me it doesn’t matter and I should just let it go.  Definitely a privilege blind spot for him.  

Agree 100%. Daniel Tiger jingles were in rotation in our house for years... “when you feel so mad that you wanna roar...”

OG Frozen came out when my oldest was 3, and I will forever bless it for bringing something of plot and substance into our televisual world. It was also my daughter’s first trip to the movies—a pretty great memory.

This is delightfully local and I love it. #teamgalleria because Uniqlo and that cool fish-shaped ice cream place.

I....kinda think I might watch the shit out of a reality show with her on it. I have a feeling the garbage reality TV hangover might be worth it—there’s some camp potential.

80s kid here—that abandoned fridge thing fucked me UP for years. I couldn’t have been more that 4/5 ish when that episode aired, but “dead child in abandoned refrigerator” imprinted on my brain in a major way.  Praise be to the Internets for letting my know I’m not alone in this trauma.

EXACTLY. My SIL was obsessed with it, and insisted that we watch it together during a visit (her kid was..6ish months, I think? Ours was 18 mos). My husband and I were both...uncomfortable. Like, this clearly isn’t meant for children, right? It seemed more Adult Swim than Nick Jr.

What...what is happening with that harvest gold dishwasher in the Kitchen Aid ad? Is that a flip top dishwasher? With a rack for dishes? That folds down?

Ohhh I managed to catch like, one episode of Lazy Town when my oldest was a toddler, and--good GOD what fresh hell was that?  

These fuckers.  Yo Gabba Gabba was the WORST- it was at peak popularity when my kids were toddlers and I was absolutely That Mom who refused to have it it  my house.  

Yes!!! My thoughts exactly- as long as he doesn’t pull a Pratt, it’s a definite YES. 

Yeah, that’s super not cool. Completely understand your suspicion!
