I had a baby! His name is Edward Douglas and he was born the day after Valentine’s Day. He’s pretty much the love of my life even though I’m breastfeeding like 8 hours a day and I’m stupid tired. I was really scared about post-partum depression because I am higher risk for it (my mom had it, I have had prior bouts of…
Hey Jezzies! I have an auntie win to share! (I’m the one raising my nephew).
My nephew was picked as student of the month in his class for how much he’s improved in reading! He’s in first grade. He came to me in August barely reading more than his name and simple things like “cat”*, so it’s been one of our big…
Look, there’s nothing wrong or weird or bad about people breastfeeding other people’s babies. We’ve done it since the dawn of humanity (wet nurses, anyone??) It’s the fact that she did it without consent that feels so gross. It would be like if you kept kosher or halal and your day care provider just fed your kid regul…
It almost feels like Booker, Harris, and Klobuchar took the positive response to their Kavanaugh questioning and took it as a signal that they’re likable enough/competent enough to be president.
I wonder if Hayden Panettiere’s situation stems, at least in part, from the severe postpartum depression she suffered after the birth of her daughter. Mood disorders can put a strain on relationships, as well as bonding with a child. Hers went on for a protracted length of time. Maybe it brought more mental health…
It’s becoming difficult to keep track of all the sexual predators in her orbit.
You might take a second look at your ageist implicit bias.
My Air Force husband actually thinks being a Seal or any other special forces should disallow you from being in politics. So much of the training encourages that “us vs them” mindset that is so poisonous in politics.
Don’t give up hope. Moral victories don’t count in football. But if people can be reminded that massive turnout can make it close...I don’t know. I hope people will wake up.
I still think it’s amazing what we’ve done tonight. And I think Beto is going to be on a much bigger stage in the near future.
I looked at you tonight, on the map, from Canada. Well done!
In a midterm election, against a Republican incumbent, a Democrat is not supposed to get this close in Texas. His campaign has had positive effects for Dems downballot, too. Pete Sessions is ousted, for example.
You know what? We worked our fucking asses off to get here. I’m tired of hearing that Texas doesn’t care, or that we’re a write-off red state. We did something incredible. We’re still doing it now.
To make it even better, turn over Alaska to its native population.
First, steal every supply in your room. You’re paying for it, make sure you take every Tucks pad, diaper, squirt bottle, baby diaper, etc.
TBH that’s why I posted. To show it’s not always some shit-show of demanding toddlers and/or mothers with no control over their boobs. It’s a personal decision just like any other that works for some and not for others.
A-MEN, sister!! Said this up higher in the thread but breastfeeding a toddler has been an amazing experience for me. There is no pressure about supply. There is no worry about whether she “getting enough.” Her not being dependent on my milk for nutrition, but still wanting to nurse for comfort, relaxation, bonding,…
Wait... people who use strollers are weirdos?
As the risk of being judged mercilessly, here goes. I still nurse my 3+ year old. To dispel the assumptions: I don’t do it out of some sense of superiority or even because I think it’s “best”. Kid just hasn’t got around to weaning and I haven’t got sick enough of it yet to cut her off completely. I work full time, I…
Ok, Kiera Knightly can fuck off. Everyone’s birth experience is different and hers is no template for anyone else’s. If Kate Middleton wanted to leave the hospital as soon as they would let her, why is that a problem? So she posed in heels for some photos for a minute or so, does that mean she wears heels all the…
