I am sorry that happened to you :-(. I am also growing a baby and - honestly - kind of wanted a boy for this reason. I found out I am having a girl, and instead of thinking about how proactively raise a respectful, viligant, trustworthy boy, I am thinking about how to teach my daughter to “protect herself” without…

My mom is just like you, to perhaps the point of “over preparing” us. But now, even in my 30s and growing my own baby girl, I always hear her voice in my head to this day on these things. I also always wear my seat belts in cars (no matter how many people are crammed in, who is driving or what kind of car it is - cab,…

I also think it is is important that children know their parents will believe them about “tricky people,” no matter who that person is. My mom made it clear that if we told her someone touched us or hurt us, she would always help us, no matter who that person was, no matter how much she loved that person, no matter…

One New Year’s Eve my husband and I were walking to get a cab and this absolutely obliterated teenage girl started talking to us. She could barely stand and had no shoes on (she was carrying them instead of wearing them, in Chicago in January... although it was an unseasonably warm New Year’s Eve night). She was…

It makes me scared of what it’s like inside her home. If she goes that nuclear in public, on TV, with acquaintances/co-workers, imagine what she is like at home. Her rage, paired with her (seemingly) equally volatile husband who she openly hates cannot be a recipe for a chill domestic environment.

Yeah I am mad at myself for not being more skeptical of putting personal health info in an app in the first place. Usually I am way more wary of that sort of thing. The one time I am not it bites me in the tush.

Glow worked for me, but I had them delete my account for this reason. Probably too little too late, but it really sucks that their security is for shit. I have to have them delete my Glow Nurture account too.

Simone was already on my list. I think it is beautiful. Too bad the husband vetoed it pre-Simone Super Awesomeness Explosion.

I was just going to say that about the Ballers jab at Vin. I thought it was a buddy-joke at the time, but now it seems like a real dig. Love boy drama!

Yeah, I am not saying Lainey is gospel or anything, just that it was another take on the tweet. Although, in fairness to Britney, she never posted a pic of T-Swift supporting her at a premier with a caption about what a great girl she was. That would be a stretch even for sweet Britney to then say she never met…

For swimmers it does. I was a national-level competitive (though not elite) swimmer for 15 years. I used my inhaler every day. As soon as I stopped swimming, my asthma subsided. Almost everyone I knew who swam had the same experience. My sister is the only person I know who still has asthma as an adult after no longer…

LaineyGossip makes the point that it is likely not Scott because The Rock has posed for and posted pictures of himself with Scott in the past, calling him a “good guy.” The Rock seems cool with him. Plus, Lainey notes that Scott is a kiss ass and would probably be all over The Rock. Although, I suppose the Esquire…

This made my night. I am the opposite of a shit talker (fear I will jinx myself). I prefer the stealth silence approach although I would love to talk shit sometimes. I was so worried after last night that Lily was going to come in second (too cocky, bulletin board material, yada yada yada). It was so satisfying to see…

No, I agree and feel the same way. Intellectually my husband gets it too. I think emotionally it’s just harder for some people to change the narrative in their heads. I actually always really wanted a girl (two, really) just because I did. I did not have a valid reason. It was just what I pictured (a mini me). But,…

I totally agree. Also, you can find out as early as 10 weeks if you do the cell free genetic screening (blood test). It screens for genetic disorders but also shows the fetus’s sex because they are analyzing the DNA fragments.

Since I found out I was pregnant I have been convinced my fetus is a boy. My husband and I refer to it as a “him.” Part of the reason we are learning the sex (end of this week!) is so we can change this script we have come up with if it is actually a girl. Also, although he would love either sex (because a child is a…

Not that buying a ton of baby shit at Nordstrom is practical, but I was somewhat aghas to see that (at least online) they do not even have a neutral “baby” section. It is already divided even for newborns.

I am approaching my second trimester and am using a pregnancy app. The comments section in the app is disturbing for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which is how anxious everyone is to gender-fy their child. I have seen ultrasound pictures with bows photoshopped on to baby girls’ heads, nurseries that look…

Agreed. Christie is having every nip, tuck, injection, laser, and peel she can get her hands on. She just does them in the right amount so she doesn’t look like a muppet with an overstuffed face. Plastic surgery and injectables can be wonderful things if you want to maintain a certain appearance and do not go…

He needs Jens to balance him out! I love listening to those two basically openly hate on each other during the Tour.
