Unfortunately many groups of women are even further marginalized by having limited resources to look outside the medical establishment to pursue answers to their health issues. It took me tons of research, visits to several practitioners (mostly MDs who specialize in integrative and holistic medicine), and visits to…

Little Baby Bum is the least offensive and annoying of all the baby videos for me.  Cocomelon is also tolerable.  After that it goes down hill fast...

Mother Goose Club is bad, but this is worse:

I am all “goodbye, Lisa!”

I agree. When I was in college, I worked full time every summer. Most of my friends did too. If they weren’t working, they were taking classes or volunteering. We didn’t really “go out” on weeknights. We came home from our jobs, ate dinner, maybe went to the gym, hung out with our parents/watched TV, went to bed.

Same in Chicago.  Even when the lanes are separated by barriers, a-hole drivers find a way in to park, or on accident thinking they are turn lanes.  

Yes, I remember it all being sort of blissful and calm until cluster feeding hit on night 4.

I feel like they kind of did with their answers.  They said it had been a couple of days more than once.  I felt like they were as dismissive as they could be under the guise of playing along.  The “what kind of baby is he?” question made me laugh.  The baby kind...newborns are pretty much all the same.  Their options…

I’d put money on depends under a compression garment.  

I agree. I don’t know why people think there would be no show without her. I generally find her to be manipulative, but dull. Her condescension and snobbery seem unearned to me, seeing as how many of the woman are as rich/richer than her, more famous than her, have worked as hard/harder than her, etc. I have always…

Thank you.  This had to be done.

The other responses provide some good options. I am also curious if he gives any indication that he feels like he HAS to chew his food more than most people? I have spent my whole life being deemed a “slow eater,” but I found out as an adult I have a very small esophagus due to inflammation (eosinophilic esophagitis).…

Doulas are great for all mothers at birth! During birth they serve the role you mention. There are also “postpartum doulas.” The difference, as it was explained to me, between a night nurse and a postpartum doula is that the night nurse is meant to attend solely to the baby, whereas the doula does that and attends the…

I did something similar with my two-year-old daughter. She did not like routine medical exams (ears checked, stethoscope, etc.). I think the objects were weird and foreign to her, and it was a relative stranger invading her space. So I got her a little doctor’s kit, explained what all the things were, and we have…

I deeply resent that the entire RHOBH season is essentially a trailer for Lisa’s new show. She has done this before with Scheana/Brandi as a build up for Vanderpump Rules. Even VPR has featured way too much Vanderpump Dogs this season. (It has not been a main plot line, but it has been in more than a few scenes.) What…

I am already with you on all three. I have always hated farmhouse sinks. I do not understand their appeal at all. I want my sink to blend in, not stand out. Sinks are inherently gross.

With my first, laboring at home was amazing. I was relaxed and comfortable in my tub. I had access to my food and hydration as a I wanted. I could move about as I wanted. I was actually dozing in the tub between contractions. I was only at the hospital about for about 4 hours before I gave birth (which still felt way…

This is morning my two-year-old greeted me in her crib at 5:15 am with the announcement, “I have diarrhea. No use wipes. Hurt butt. Just water use water.” I have to say, it is a nice change from the infant phase where I had constant, low-grade “wtf is wrong?”

I know.  I HATE articles about “bump flaunting” or “belly cupping.”  For some pregnant women, that is just the place your hands feel most comfortable.  It is also super weird to go from having a relatively flat stomach and small waist to having a beach ball in front of you.  Some people are hyper aware of it and feel…

And if you touch your belly while you ARE pregnant, well then you are obviously “flaunting” your bump.  (Actually if you just exist while pregnant, you are flaunting your bump...just like if you go outside in a bathing suit you are flaunting your bikini body.)
