I really like A Practical Wedding. I'm not even engaged, but they have great articles about family/marriage/relationships that aren't even wedding-related and keep me coming back (and I would even after I used them as a resource for wedding planning). They're kind of the anti-knot, so...I think they beat you to it.

This is similar to my family (My siblings ages are 29, 27 (twins), 25 (me), and a 13-year old bringing up the rear). It's like my youngest brother has a completely different set of parents. My siblings and I were spanked occasionally, but only from the toddler ages to maybe Kindergarten. It was mostly because we were…

This is ubiquitous among the moms on my Facebook friend list. Picture of mom and baby "My baby loves mommy sooooooo much!" BARF. BARF. BARF. UGH.

I am just going to assume you are one of my siblings. I painted my entire house one summer, and my sister got her door taken off, along with the entire knob on the bathroom door because we kept locking each other out.

My sister had a pretty good idea of when opening gifts start writing the card (Ex: "Dear Aunt Karen, Thank you so much for the blender.") That way you get the hard stuff out of the way immediately and can fill in the mushy sentiments later when you feel like it and nothing gets messed up. I do know people who have…

Exactly how mine went, too. "Oh, this is okay. This is normal. No big—-WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU STABBING ME WITH—Oh, you're done? That wasn't so bad."

My boyfriend says sometimes he can feel the IUD strings, but it's not a big deal.

I can tell you that yes, insertion hurts, but the entirety of my procedure was done and over with in about 20 seconds. I can deal with intense pain for 20 seconds for 5 years of a baby-free womb.

That 8.5% IUD usage figure makes me pretty bummed. I got my first ever IUD last August (25, never been pregnant) and it has changed my life. I spent several years using the pill, which I would forget to take, and then throw up most days because I had issues digesting hormones; I tried Nuvaring, but it was before ACA,…

You can't even spring for a real sled at K-Mart, Duggars? That cat is judging you for your pan sled alone.

Honestly, it just got SO BORING by the end. The best part was the bar scene where Anastasia is drunk. It was the only scene where Dakota got to have some personality other than "Oh, gosh, gee, mister, you're gonna put your what where? Oh, gosh."

I haven't seen that family eat a leftover in 7 years, so it's more about control than anything. I do appreciate the insight though! I understand making a plate for children or for meal planning purposes, but for me, it's weird to have a grown adult make a plate for another grown adult.

I know this is stupid, but some men do need this. A lot of families still raise their sons in a very traditional gender role households and they grow up not knowing how to do anything. My boyfriend's parents are these people—I don't think his dad has cooked a meal for himself in 31 years. His mom is the mom that works…

UGH YES THIS. My boyfriend and I have lived together for almost 4 years now, and this is something he has had a hard time with. We spent a lot of time fighting about who does what (spoiler alert: me, and everything), and after many fights of "just tell me what I should do!" resorted to splitting up tasks evenly. He…

I LOVE crawling into a made bed. I know it's stupid, and I know I'm going to mess it up, but I need those smooth sheets on my legs goddammit.

I seriously read that sentence like eight times. Me no understand.

Haha, I do remember an uncomfortable shifting and my mom telling my older brother "don't look!" but they toughed it out.

Is it weird my parents took me to see Titanic in theaters when I was 8 or so? Female nudity in movies was definitely something I had encountered prior to that, so it wasn't that big of a deal for me. I'm sure my parents weren't thrilled about it, though.

Weird confession time: I watched that sex scene so many times because for a second it looked like you could see Billy Bob's billy bob. I was 12 and curious and ashamed just thinking about it.

I was 18 when I first started dating my current boyfriend. That first summer after I started college, I was still living at home, but doing a lot of unspoken co-ed sleepovers (at my boyfriend's house—he's older and lived with roommates). I was at a cousin's graduation party when my boyfriend picked me up to go to a…
