I have a 7 month old and I love Catastrophe, but I think the show that has come closest to nailing some of the struggles and feelings of early parenthood that I experienced is Jane the Virgin. She is constantly trying to figure out childcare, had struggles breastfeeding, goes to really annoying Mommy and Me groups,…

Child’s rights advocates argue that the boxes make abandoning an infant too easy and are a band-aid solution to much larger problems that often lead to abandonment—namely, poverty and lack of proper support systems.

This. I’m with Hillz but I’ve always admired Bernie Sanders and will happily and enthusasitcally vote for whoever gets the nom. But the shit his supporters get up to is pretty annoying...I saw a Bernie support say she’d vote for Hillary in the general “while puking” which is just utterly ridiculous. I just want this…

The Critic! Okay, maybe not, but that’s in syndication anyway.

I rewatched it all the way through to the end again recently and I actually got really sad when it was over. Like seriously depressed. And that was after rewatching the non-Sorkin seasons, even.

I’d really hate to be this university’s PR person, in charge of responding to this. Like you have to say what’s in the college statement above, but probably in your head you’re like “College kids like sex and drinking. How is this news?”

I dated lots of ‘em before I got married to one...

Don’t care. You’re kind of a fun little troll though. Keep on keepin’ on.

Legit expression, though I see you really enjoy pretending to know a lot about grammar, boo.

#teamitalianjustice from this Italian-American too. My cousins would beat the ever-loving shit out of Josh Duggar if he were my (shudder) husband. Swims with the fishes.

Oh. :(

Every body is different too. My massage therapist told me she gained 20lbs in 1 week in the second trimester, then nothing until halfway through the 3rd when she put on the pound a week you’re supposed to up until week 38 or whatever. She said it was nuts. Like...same weight...same weight...same weight...BOOM 20lbs…

I am 34 weeks and i don’t have food cravings and my diet has basically not changed at all in terms of type or amount (except during the 1st trimester when all I could keep down was fruit juice), but every other week or so I get a day where I have what I call The Hunger, which is just an insatiable need to eat…

It depends on your fat distribution too I think. I was fat before I got pregnant (and mostly in the belly) and I’m 34 weeks and currently only 13lbs heavier than I was pre-pregnancy (and my diet hasn’t really changed at all). But my body doesn’t have to put on the “maternal fat stores” that other women do. Already had…

Bernie can’t win in a general, unfortunately.

Sorry, where is my extra large basket of fruit today! All I got for being 32 weeks pregnant was a terrible leg cramp charley horse and some pelvic pain.

Would. He really seems like he’d be decent in bed. Something about his chin...

You’re sure you know how brains work. ‘kay.

under the influence of a highly manipulative/predatory abuser

That’s how trauma works sometimes, though. You can’t just magically remember something you’ve repressed. It...stays repressed.
