Mine are 5 and 2 now and I’ve realized that every stage of motherhood has something pants shittingly terrifying about it (right now we’re at “holy fuck, this kid is going to be taking a school bus alone in 3 weeks” and “arghh don’t run into oncoming traffic”. I keep well stocked on wine and roll with it.
Oh no, it was bad, it’s actually clearer in my memory than the drug haze of giving birth.
My brother was recently asked to write a character letter for a childhood friend who had been involved in a massive drug smuggling ring for years. He doesn’t want to shun him, but doesn't approve of what his friend did. I was really proud of my little bro for this.
I mean this is a friend I used to see a minimum of once a week and talk to everyday. As busy as someone is it takes, like 2 minutes to respond to a text. I’d be lying if I said it doesn't sting.
I look back fondly at my “morning” (all-day) sickness now but was most def not funny at the time.
I’m also a teacher, so I’ll steal your excuse, but I’d like all those things even if I wasn’t, if I’m being honest with myself.
Congratulations! Fruit, tea biscuits and the lemon Vitamin Water helped my nausea during both my pregnancies, although the formula is different for everyone.
You’re in a really tough spot. Your choices are basically let your husband do what he wants while being clear that you don’t agree and are unhappy or you have to take “the stand”. The stand is basically “if you do this it will damage our relationship and I may leave you because of it”. I have taken “the stand” exactly…
Nothing for the first time in 8 years (sad face, we just didn't have the energy this summer). When I see your beautiful harvest am regretting our decision.
Spent the better part of an adult dinner party last night discussing Pokémon with the host’s 12 year old son. Which lends credence to my husband's theory that I have the sense of humour of a 12 year old boy.
Ugh, we wait for summer all year in the Northeast, it’s always bittersweet to have to stay indoors in August because of the temp.
Drinking cider tonight Jezzies and trying to find a period piece on Canadian Netflix which I haven’t seen is proving difficult. Any suggestions.
Exactly, had the book been recipes to BRING to potlucks I’d have zero snarky comments. But the only proper response to someone bringing something to your home, whether homemade or store-bought is “Thank you”. Any other response and congratulations, you're an asshole.
It’s especially galling that people get their panties in a twist about something that was openly done for thousands of years. It's so weirdly regressive.
Right? It's like a coffee table book about coffee tables.
I hate anyone who thinks that a vegetable platter is an appropriate snack at a child’s sports game.
No just someone who likes to share a good hate read.
1. Gymnastics – Women’s Individual All-Around
Thanks for this, just read this post about how everything you bring to a potluck is not up to the standards of this author and wanted to gauge my eyeballs out (spoiler alert, girlfriend wrote AN ENTIRE BOOK ABOUT POTLUCKS): http://www.seriouseats.com/2016/07/how-to…
