She didn’t even have to go to community college! I’m sure her kid’s grades would’ve been good enough to get into a normal-to-good school. Is it really the end of the world to end up somewhere like UC Santa Barbara or Pepperdine instead of USC or UCLA? Isn’t this exactly why there’s a zillion rich kids from LA at…

Yeah, the part where her sister talks about how expensive bridesmaid dresses made me roll my eyes very hard. Those costumes are about $50 on Amazon. You can definitely find a nice, simple dress you’ll be able to wear again and again for $50 or less.

Also a good point. A wedding doesn’t need to be stuffy, but it IS a serious event, at least for the ceremony portion.

The bride is far more gracious than I would’ve been if my sister said she wanted to be the center of attention at my wedding, which is exactly what you’re saying when you say you want to wear a T-rex costume to be someone’s Maid of Honor because TECHNICALLY they said you could wear “whatever you wanted” and that’s…

Nassar abused kids with their parents IN THE ROOM. Parental involvement doesn’t always protect athletes.

Tara Lipinski’s coach was just banned from figure skating for life 2 weeks ago for allegations of sexual abuse dating back to the 1990s. He may not have abused her, but she was absolutely in an environment of abuse.

This. We live in the city and don’t have a car, so our stroller will essentially be our car. It’s been really frustrating reading reviews because it seems like everyone’s primary concern is how it folds down and how easy it is to get in and out of the car. Frankly, we’ll buy whichever one fits our needs best, price be…

Not to mention all the unpaid labour women did at their children’s schools, which is still expected today, even though the majority of families don’t have anyone at home during school hours.

Dresses seem to be the only option, but I really hate wearing dresses to work in the summer. Plus, who wants to shave their legs every day when they’re in the third trimester? Blergh.

I’m pregnant with my first, and after having a mild panic attack at a baby show a couple weeks ago, I have discovered the treasure trove of secondhand baby stuff available on places like Facebook Marketplace. People are selling $200 Baby Bjorns for $20! A whole tub of newborn clothes for $50! Bottles for free if you…

I am currently pregnant with my first (and probably only) child, and I really wish that there was more recognition of pregnant people who work. I’m starting to buy maternity clothes, and it’s so difficult to find office-appropriate pants. I can find dozens of different colors of maternity leggings, jeans, sweatpants,…

Did you see Redman on the VMAs? I never thought I’d see Redman exude Middle-Aged Energy, but I loved it.

Full-fat dairy + sugar is absolutely the answer. Cheesecake, ice cream, milkshakes...

I’m due the day after you! Yay!

What the fuck

To be fair to your mom, sweaty clothes never smell good, but NOTHING smells worse than sweat from a teenaged boy. How do they get so smelly? One of life’s mysteries. (I’m sure it’s something to do with pH balance or something.)

That’s some weird sexualised shit, yo.

Jesus. 11? That’s like 5th grade. That’s when we first got the sex talk at school, and I remember the entire concept being so foreign and far-away to me.

Yes. “Mommy culture” in the age of social media is bizarre. I’m sure some women have always based their identities around their motherhood and their children, but it’s so performative now.

I’m also 10 weeks! People are truly weird in this world of pregnancy/motherhood. I’m in a Reddit group for people due in March, but I’ve basically decided that I hate everyone in it because they’re all insane.
