My apologies to chesslovers, but I kinda think Grandmaster is a ridiculously overblown label for people are good at chess.

Problem solved.

Should a woman who’s no longer able to have children have her embryos taken away because her former partner no longer wants them?

I file away useful parenting tidbits for when Mr Quickbooks and I will procreate and taking shit back to Walmart in exchange for wine is now on the top of the list. Circled in red.

I give my side of the family a link to an Amazon wishlist of a dozen or so things every time my kid’s birthday or Chanukah rolls around. They live far away and like to send lots of presents and are the rare thoughtful family members that make a point of getting things the kid actually wants/are age appropriate, and…

15 year old me would be stoked my barely A cup boobs are now DDs. Like, totally stoked.

I love how the baby is very obviously trying to work out how to feel about this shocking development.

Does Alessandra Ambrosio know what moods actually are?

The color coordinating one gets to me too! My fMIL acts like I am a braindead idiot because the groom + his two friends are wearing dark grey/purple kilts and the bridesmaids are wearing dark blue dresses. Of course, she wants to wear aqua but when I pointed out then she will clash (her major concern about our lack of…

I used to nanny a toddler named Matthew. Who referred to himself as Matthme. Couldn’t argue with it!

Honest to gawd, it's one damn meal! It won't kill them to go one meal without meat! I say this as an affirmed carnivore who's happily and without drama eaten vegan/vegetarian meals. I have also been known to cook few of them too!

One of my favorite little-kids- being literal stories: a relative said to my baby sister “Wow, you’ve grown a foot since I saw you last!”

I really want to see what happens when she raises her arms.

I'm having a vegetarian wedding. My inlaws are losing it. I hate all these "but you have to" things about weddings.

I feel like I probably relate more to Mary J Blige in the background. She looks as concerned as I feel....

Seems a good idea but it is being brought in by Tony Abbott. This does not compute...

Look, aren't we jumping to conclusions here? Isn't it possible that some considerate student wanted to give some squirrels a nice rope swing?

My wedding dress, which I had made, straight up did not fit. The woman who made it cut it about 2 sizes to small after the final fitting (I tend to remember her saying it needed to be taken in about an inch, then she scribbled down some notes and when the dress arrived it was suddenly tiny!). The zipper popped off as…

If it is true (and even if it's not, I suppose), what an awful experience it must be to have your transition play out in the public eye.

I made my own wedding dress... but I didn't know it was a wedding dress, so I didn't put as much effort into it as I could have. My boyfriend was taking me on vacation in Hawaii, and he talked me into making a "pretty dress for when we went to the luau." Turns out, he'd been planning to ask me to marry him the whole…
