THIS! Why does everyone need to pit them against each other. Can’t they just be two different women, with different styles, different personalities, different life experiences, and different roles and future roles in the royal family? They should just be appreciated as individuals, not compared like pieces of produce…

We need more #boymoms like you - actually teaching valuable lessons to their sons about how to treat women and people in general - and less posting about gender-stereotyped-based crap on instagram. (Sorry, just saw yet another post about a little boy doing something messy and rowdy, so of course it is a #boy thing,…

Oh, also, I have been BF-ing and pumping for 15 mos. I never had to pump at night because I got the joy of waking up 2-3x a night for 11 months to BF, but I started to take Legendairy Milk supplements when I went back to work. They are great and I noticed an improvement in my supply. Hang in there!

Yeah you’re like, “we’ll at least I’m not Bob’s mom...”.

Yeah, the calendar was dead-on for us in the beginning, but now the older she has gotten it is more variable. But I agree the signs are always dead on. And it’s fun to watch for the new skills associated with each leap.

The Wonder Weeks book literally saved me. Out of all the books I read (like, way way way too many), this is the only one I give to people. Every time I reached a point where I was like “what the fuck happened to my baby? Who is this monster?” I would look at the app and book and see that she was starting a leap. It…

Also, nothing helps babies more than the passage of time. The more their brains develop, the more they are able to cope, self-soothe, go without eating, etc. It is the shittiest notion because there is no control there, but time is going to do more than any super secret sleep handshake you find for your baby. (At…

I think to take your notion a step further, babies don’t like to be put to sleep on their backs, and I think most don’t like to be away from a warm body and an accessible boob. Biologically it makes sense that they would want to be as close to their food and protection source as possible. I could also see how being…

This is pretty much what Weissbluth says about a lot of the claimed “cures” for colic. Like basically, most kids who are “colicky” peak at the same time, the parents all reach max frustration at the same time and try the various cures, and the babies happen to be changing developmentally to outgrow the colic at around…

“Now it’s definitely this VERY PARTICULAR ROCKING PATTERN THAT MY HUSBAND JUST CANNOT REPLICATE NO MATTER HOW MUCH I BERATE HIM.” OMG this is so dead on. Perfection.  

“Nothing works for everyone.” This needs to be said over and over and over again. And “everything is a phase. It will pass.”

I think if they are framing it as welcoming Megan to the family, rather than “presenting” Harry with a bride, it is less creepy. To me, it is sort of symbolic of “we are all here with you, standing by you, and you are joining us now” (read: we still have your back even though your half-sister is cray).

Like he has never picked out his own clothes I could maybe believe? But never zipped up his own pants would be very weird.

I get that it was on purpose, but I don’t the joke? Why was it done? Is it a joke about photoshop? I need that “me/point” gif here...

Yeah it was definitely a messed up dynamic for sure. It also sounds like Ariana and Jeremy’s parents had an abusive relationship too, so it was likely a learned behavior. That said, if I was about to go out without someone with that in their past, and with who my friends had personal interactions that made them…

They are now, but the same “inequality” that Lala and “her man” have was present with Lisa and Ken’s relationship when it started. She was 21 and he was 37. She was working the door at a bar he owned. Lala is 28 and “her man” is like 47. I think they met on the set of the movie he was producing. The difference is that…

This is why it bothers me. In a way, Lisa is dismissing or demeaning Lala for something that she has done herself but in a “proper,” socially-acceptable way (i.e. by marrying Ken, rather than being his girlfriend). Somehow by cloaking an exchange of beauty/sex for money/power in the veil of marriage and motherhood…

I know she met him working the door at a bar he owned, so he at least had some success before her. And I think I read that he had also made money in textiles before that.

Ok for some reason my comment got lost...so I am reposting.

He is why I no longer watch that show. When he - a convicted drug dealer - was able to manipulate the system to make sure Kathryn failed a drug test while he (very suspiciously based on his on-show behavior) did not, and was given custody of those babies I was done. The episode after the photoshoot last season with…
