"I'm sure I'm going to get a lot of shit for saying this, but India just does NOT seem like a safe place to be a woman. At all. In any capacity."

somebody mentioned this on another thread but it deserves repeating. what they will do is set this up as an example of REAL rape. see? this woman was a holy non-slut who got attacked by strangers while defending jesus. anyone whose situation is less wholesome than this can't REALLY have been raped, because they…

I have an aunt who is a nun who is nearing seventy. The thought of someone doing this to her makes me violently ill. Perhaps carve or tattoo "rapist" into their foreheads, a la the swastika in "Inglorious Basterds", so everyone knows who these people are when they are inevitably set free?

This makes me sick.

Rarely do I think someone should get the Lisbeth Salander "I AM A SADISTIC PIG, A PERVERT, AND A RAPIST" treatment, but this is one of those occasions.

some old dude said something similar to me as I was checking my phone for a text from my husband and walking my then 3 yr old in his stroller. Something took over me and I blurted out "get the F&ck over yourself" to him. Fuck these people they need a hobby and a xanax.

As a mother of two small children who is currently on the way out of a major depressive episode I can relate so hard to this. I'm blubbing reading this.

Im a stay at home depressed mother to one, also far away from my family and friends. This made me cry. I'm so glad people were so nice to you and I hope things are better now x

It was nice to read this tonight, it reminds me not everyone is an asshole to parents. Today as I left my place to walk my kids to school cause I'm a loser who doesn't drive, my boss texted me. She wanted to know if I could cover a shift since I have a part retail job and thats how they roll, I sent out a quick text…

I had PPD too and I can totally relate. I remember crying my eyes out as my husband tried to explain the bottle warmer to me, and the car seat, the stroller, the fuckin' remote-controlled mobile. Ugh.

Wow. The fucking nerve of some people. I'm sorry you had to go through this, but I think you handled it well. I hope you made her feel awkward. Maybe she'll rethink next time she wants to say something like that to random strangers.

I watched this twice in a row laughing so much my hubby left the room!

Hilariously fun fact: I have a medical condition that could be fixed but my specialist is dragging her heels on it and I complained because it worsens when I lift heavy objects (like anything over 20lbs) and she says to me - "Maybe you should let your husband take care of the heavy lifting." I am a SAHM to two small…

Apparently one of my cousins threw a tantrum in a grocery store, so my uncle carried her out so my aunt could finish shopping or something. But then my cousin decided to start screaming "You're not my Daddy!"

My sons have made me a master of the fireman's carry. I feel you.

People are so judgmental of others' parenting tactics. It's like once you have kids, you've somehow tacitly agreed to listen to every random observation from strangers. :( I feel for you.

I know what you mean. My oldest child is on the autism spectrum and one of my ex-husband's girlfriends called CPS on me because I supposedly wasn't feeding him a varied enough diet. My son eats a very limited variety of foods due to his issues with texture. It was a deeply humiliating interview in which I allowed a…

Have you seen this?

One of my last semesters in college I had let my roommate talk me into renting an apartment at a really weird apartment complex in Austin called the Metropolis which was painted psychedelic colors and housed a lot of artistic and obviously drug friendly people. I was a middle class kid from a small town and a huge…

Several years ago I was at an "art show" with friends (there was art there, but we were concentrating on listening to music and getting drunk) and a guy that I had been casually dating walked in. Now, we were not exclusive, and that was fine with me. I chatted with him and our other friends a bit, then he went off to…
